Baiting and Bait Barrels

Baiting is used to attract a large number of animals to an area over a long period of time. In order to bait the player needs to acquire a bait container (persistent item) and fill it with bait (consumable item).

Overview
Bait barrels or as they are most commonly known as “feeders” are composed of two sides, left and right. In the left side you can put any type of meat or fish to feed carnivorous dinosaurs, while in the right side, you can any type of vegetation (including the standard Minecraft crops) or plant bales, to feed herbivores.

Placing Your Barrels
The location of your feeders matters. The more animals of the species you want to bait you detect during your hunting sessions, the better a location seems to be. The feeder will attract animals like any other lure. The more animals there are in an area, the better your chances and the bigger your number of baited animals.

If you attempt to place a feeder in a location where the corresponding animal does not live, the chances of you finding the animal you most desire drop. For example placing A feeder where Herbivores spawn, while the feeder is full of Carnivore Bait won't work since their are no carnivores in the area.

This does not mean location becomes irrelevant. Some locations will still generate better results than others Whether you are hunting Carnivores Herbivores and anything else of the sort. This is when it becomes important to discuss locations with hunting buddies and fellow community members. If you place a feeder in the same location as your hunting buddy, you should see pretty similar results in most hunts. There will always be variations in activity due to the random nature of the spawning  but in general results should be more predictable.
