Farm Meat from Animals Without Killing Them

The knife allows you to harvest meat from living animals repeatedly, creating a sustainable food source without needing to breed or kill livestock.

Harvesting from Mobs

Hold a knife and right-click on any animal like cows, pigs, sheep, or chickens. The animal will take damage and drop meat, but it will survive. You can repeat this on the same animal multiple times, making it an efficient farming method.

Advantages Over Traditional Farming

Unlike killing animals, this approach lets you harvest indefinitely from a single mob. The meat drops are the same quality as normal animal drops.

Combining with Other Food Sources

Use this method alongside traditional farming to maximize your food security. Keep a few animals penned in a small area and harvest from them regularly. This works especially well in early-game survival when resources are limited.
