| Love mode | Feeding an adult its breeding item puts it in love mode for 30 seconds. Two animals of the same kind in love mode make one baby. |
| Cooldown | Both parents must wait 5 minutes before they can breed again. |
| Growing up | A baby takes 20 minutes to grow up. Each breeding item fed to it removes 10% of the time that is left. |
| Golden Dandelion | Using a Golden Dandelion on a baby stops it from growing. Using one again lets it grow, starting from the full 20 minutes. It does not work on Villagers, Zombie Horses and Skeleton Horses. |

| Turtle eggs | After breeding, one Turtle walks to its home beach and lays 1 to 4 Turtle Eggs. Eggs on sand go through 3 stages before hatching. Each random tick the chance to advance is 100% in the last part of the night (time 21,062 to 21,905) and 0.2% at other times. |
| Frogspawn | A fed Frog lays Frogspawn on water instead of having a baby. It hatches after 3 to 10 minutes into 2 to 5 Tadpoles. A Tadpole becomes a Frog after 20 minutes; a Slimeball removes 10% of the time left. |
| Sniffer Egg | Sniffers drop a Sniffer Egg item instead of a baby. Placed, it hatches in about 20 minutes, or about 10 minutes on a Moss Block. |
| Axolotl | A Bucket of Tropical Fish is used up and a Water Bucket is handed back. 1 in 1,200 babies is the rare color. |
| Panda | A Panda only breeds if a Bamboo block stands within 7 blocks of it, on its level or up to 2 blocks higher. |
| Fox | A Fox baby trusts the players who fed its parents. |
| Mooshroom | If both parents have the same color there is a 1 in 1,024 chance that the baby has the other color. |
| Allay | Giving an Amethyst Shard to an Allay that is dancing to a Jukebox makes a second Allay. It can do this again after 5 minutes. |
| Villagers | A Villager is willing with 12 food points: Bread counts 4, Carrot, Potato and Beetroot count 1 each. Breeding uses 12 points from each parent and needs a free bed the Villagers can walk to within 48 blocks. Parents wait 5 minutes; the baby grows up in 20 minutes. |
| Horse taming | Riding an untamed Horse, Donkey, Mule or Zombie Horse checks temper: the chance to tame is temper / 100. A failed try throws the rider off and adds 5 temper. Food raises temper, see the table. |

| Happy Ghast | A Snowball removes 10% of the time a young Happy Ghast still needs to grow up. |
