Get Rabbits trapped in your other Traps, and kill them for more meat.
If you click on a shaking Trap, you can gather both the rabbit and the Trap, if you have space in your inventory, and you can kill the Rabbit right off the bat by right-clicking it. A Trap looks like a normal stick-and-basket trap, and when you’ve caught something, the basket will be on the ground and shaking constantly.
After setting the Traps, check it regularly. Place it over some rabbit holes, which can be found all over the map and are especially concentrated around Savanna biomes (a biome with a yellow grassy look full of grass tufts, rabbit holes, and no trees). This item costs 6 Cut Grass and 2 Twigs, and are easily renewable resources. If you find the Pig King early enough in the game, the easiest way to gain meat is to create Traps through the Survival tab, represented by a looped rope icon, on your crafting hotbar (right-hand side of the screen). Most farming methods require you to have a way to generate meat easily and quickly. The Pig King’s appearance is that of a very large pig with a crown made of dried grass lying down on a wooden floor and surrounded by black pillars. Do note that not all worlds generated by the game have a Pig King in it, since sometimes there isn’t enough room for the Pig King to be generated in the game. Normally, if the Pig King spawned at all, he’d be close to a Pig Village. These roads and trails sometimes lead to Pig Villages, which is a collection of huts and occupied by several Pigmen. The most reliable way to find the Pig King is to follow the roads and trails scattered throughout the game. Because of this, as long as you have a steady supply of meat, Gold becomes an infinitely renewable resource. Once given a meat item (excluding Frog Legs, Cooked Frog Legs, Monster Meat, and Cooked Monster Meat) or the non-renewable Gravedigger items, the Pig King will reward you with some Gold Nuggets, depending on what you’ve given him. The Pig King is the most reliable way to gain gold, and the only way to farm the material.
