# Minecraft should add poop and I’m 100% serious

Minecraft needs poop and I’m 100% serious about that. While it might seem like the childish idea said many times before, this idea doesn’t over look the major implications that adding poop to Minecraft would cause. I have thought deeply about this… about poop… and I have come to respect it. With that said, please, let me explain why Minecraft needs poop.

Poop… such a vile substance. A disgusting dump that not only produces a scent so fowl that loved ones will keep a safe distance. But also the great attractor of infection that rots all it touches, even those that produce it….or who consumes it….

But Mother Nature, who’s so loving and kind, doesn’t let us fall victim to the rotten nature of poop. It’s why Minecraft tries it’s best to teach us the importance Mother Nature has on our health and survival. But mojang doesn’t get it. Minecraft doesn’t truly respect Mother Nature because if it did, it would have poop.

Now here’s my idea. Make it so that animals poop and all mobs try to avoid standing in poop. Standing on poop for too long causes a poopy effect that can only be cured by jumping in water or drinking water. mobs affected by this poopy effect will try to locate water nearby to cure themselves and no longer drop consumables (at least ones beneficial to the players health or hunger) Peaceful mobs will run away from others infected with this poopy effect. The Poop block will naturally disappear overtime, and can’t be placed intop itself and can wash away from rain and can be harvested by the player and used as compost. Whether the player can poop or not is irrelevant.

This simple change brings forth an era of ethical livestock farming conditions. It requires thought about the number of cattle you have and the space you need. It’s a balancing act. If you make the farm space too small then your livestock will become rotten like the poop they stand in. Their baby cattle will avoid their parents from the stench, thus never maturing. If no water is nearby for the mob to cure itself, it becomes useless to the player as it no longer drops consumables to benefit the player. Poop is the ultimate equalizer. It solves the issues of not only unethical farming, but also farm exploiting. But because water cures the poopy effect, farms can still be relatively small but still requires active thought on size and number of cattle. For the first time, these players with their farming machines that practically make them a god, are knocked down to mortals… all because… of poop.

All this time, poop has been the key.
