Hear me out. Add camels as an alternative mount to the Elk. They could spawn in both cold or hot regions as either bactrain or dromedary camels (two humped or one humped) and could have different advantages than the elk. Maybe not as fast, but could carry more cargo. Maybe they could also get a slight speed advantage on gravel and sand. It would be even cooler if camels could be milked. That would provide an emergency food source while traveling. It would also be cool if they could be bred, that way players could have a caravan of camels that could carry items. This could make long distance item travel way easier. This could make trade among players really interesting in multiplayer worlds. It would also be helpful in single player, for players who want to take long trips to different regions of the world (like moving your base south) with more room for transporting seeds, metals, building blocks etc.

It would be cool if there was a lasso feature added to the game. This could help players round up livestock from the back of an elk, or maybe even help hunt bears. It could even be an interesting mechanic if the lasso could work on other players.

I think a more domestic form of sheep that produced wool would be a game changer, and also having them graze on tall grass, ferns, and maybe even bushes would be awesome. I think have some way to herd them could add a lot of spice to the game as well. Imagine if they could also be used for meat and milk too.

I think it’d be awesome if wolves could be not only domesticated, but selectively bred for certain traits. Imagine breeding dogs/wolves for more speed or damage or even certain behaviors like herding goats, protecting livestock, racing, etc. This could make hunting, fighting monsters, or even fighting other players much more interesting. They could also be bred for size, color, and physical traits, like short noses or floppy ears. Please like this if you want to see it in the game

Caribou have been domesticated worldwide into reindeer, making them the only domestic deer species. I think a domestication process for in game Caribou to reindeer would be cool, and they could be used to pull sleds through snow or something or maybe even be ridden.

In real life, goats graze and live off of grass and other plants. It would be cool if goats in the game could graze freely, and then when the grass is all eaten, they could be herded to another field, maybe using a special item relating to shepherds to move domesticated goats such as a cane or a staff or something. This way food troughs wouldn’t be necessary, AND it’s a good way to clear annoying bushes, ferns, or even just grass. Anyways, hope someone sees this and likes the idea.
