How to Round Up Animals in Minecraft

In "Minecraft," every creature has a purpose. For example, all animals in the game can be used to create items that can help your character, such as shearing a sheep to get wool. As of August 2011, the complete list of animals in "Minecraft" is cow, pig, sheep and chicken. Most animals spawn at random locations throughout the game world, which can be an annoyance if you are looking for a specific type of animal for the items it has. It is possible to round up all of the animals in one central location in "Minecraft" to make gathering items easier.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Place a light source at the location above ground where you wish to round up animals. Light sources include lava, torches, redstone, glowstone, a portal or fire.

   • 2

     Wait until night falls. Time changes from day to night every 20 minutes in "Minecraft."

   • 3

     Sleep in your bed when night approaches. The night changes back to day instantly.

   • 4

     Travel to your light source. Throughout the course of the night as your character has slept, nearby animals have been attracted to the light source and stay in the vicinity of the light.
