Why is it that when you sue a mob egg it pops out a baby animal even when you made in to a egg there were full grown?
Let me ask you a question: Have you ever seen a full grown animal ever come out of an egg? That question should help answer your question
It was done to prevent "duping". For example: sheer sheep, egg, un-egg, sheer again, repeat profit. This way you still have to wait for them to grow up before breeding, or using for other resources (milk, soup,wool).
i find it funny this feature was added to the latest screenshot lol. does that mean youll have less code needed for that when 1.3 comes out?
