Breeding and Taming

Which item puts each animal in love mode, how long cooldown and growing up take, and how each tameable mob is tamed and healed.

How it works

Love modeFeeding 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.
CooldownBoth parents must wait 5 minutes before they can breed again.
Growing upA baby takes 20 minutes to grow up. Each breeding item fed to it removes 10% of the time that is left.
Golden DandelionUsing 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.
Bee flowersBees accept Dandelion, Poppy, Blue Orchid, Allium, Azure Bluet, the four Tulips, Oxeye Daisy, Cornflower, Lily of the Valley, Wither Rose, Torchflower, Open Eyeblossom, Sunflower, Lilac, Peony, Rose Bush, Pitcher Plant, Flowering Azalea, Flowering Azalea Leaves, Mangrove Propagule, Cherry Leaves, Pink Petals, Wildflowers, Chorus Flower, Spore Blossom and Cactus Flower.
Wolf foodRaw and cooked Beef, Porkchop, Chicken, Mutton and Rabbit, Rotten Flesh, Raw and Cooked Cod, Raw and Cooked Salmon, Tropical Fish, Pufferfish and Rabbit Stew.
Nautilus foodRaw and Cooked Cod, Raw and Cooked Salmon, Pufferfish, Tropical Fish and the buckets of Cod, Salmon, Pufferfish and Tropical Fish.
Turtle eggsAfter 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.
FrogspawnA 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 EggSniffers drop a Sniffer Egg item instead of a baby. Placed, it hatches in about 20 minutes, or about 10 minutes on a Moss Block.
AxolotlA Bucket of Tropical Fish is used up and a Water Bucket is handed back. 1 in 1,200 babies is the rare color.
PandaA Panda only breeds if a Bamboo block stands within 7 blocks of it, on its level or up to 2 blocks higher.
FoxA Fox baby trusts the players who fed its parents.
MooshroomIf both parents have the same color there is a 1 in 1,024 chance that the baby has the other color.
AllayGiving an Amethyst Shard to an Allay that is dancing to a Jukebox makes a second Allay. It can do this again after 5 minutes.
VillagersA 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 tamingRiding 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.
Cannot breedMule, Skeleton Horse, Zombie Horse, Camel Husk, Happy Ghast, Zombie Nautilus, Parrot and Polar Bear cannot be bred.
Happy GhastA Snowball removes 10% of the time a young Happy Ghast still needs to grow up.
