How Long Before You Can Breed Again Minecraft

Two villagers convenance.

Breeding is a game mechanic that allows mobs of the same species to breed with each other to produce offspring (with the exception of convenance a mule, which requires a horse and donkey).

Mechanics [ ]

A cow post-obit the player.

Each animate being that tin be bred has a food item used to lead and breed it (there are a few special cases, described below). In one case an animal notices a player holding its food, it follows the player until either the thespian is out of range, the role player stops holding the item, it begins the convenance procedure, or it is attacked. This includes baby animals. Notation that animals are uninterested in food lying on the ground. One item per parent is needed to breed a unmarried babe.

Love way [ ]

When an animal is fed its food, it enters "dear mode", preparing to breed with another animal of the aforementioned species that is as well in love way. Animals that are in love mode emit heart particles constantly. When both animals are fed, they pathfind toward each other, up to eight blocks abroad. The two animals kiss for about two and a one-half seconds, so a infant animal of the aforementioned species spawns either in between the parents or in the same position as the parent that was spawned starting time, ending love fashion for the parents. Breeding also drops ane–7. The parents practise not eat convenance items for 5 minutes, after which feeding them once once more causes them to enter dear mode. However, they still follow players holding breeding items, as does the babe. An fauna exits dearest mode if it does not brood 30 seconds afterward being fed; nonetheless, information technology immediately becomes able to be fed and enter love style over again.

Different other animals, mules can non be bred this way. Convenance a mule requires a union between a equus caballus and a donkey.

Breeding foods [ ]

Mob	Items	Other
Horse (Tamed) Donkey (Tamed)	Gilded Apple Enchanted Gilded Apple tree Golden Carrot	The following can also be used for growing a baby horse or ass, and for healing: Sugar Wheat Apple Hay Bale
Cow Goat Mooshroom Sheep	Wheat	Sheep can grow faster if they eat grass .
Pig	Carrot Potato Beetroot
Chicken	Wheat Seeds Pumpkin Seeds Melon Seeds Beetroot Seeds
Wolf (Tamed)	Raw Beef Raw Chicken Raw Porkchop Raw Mutton Raw Rabbit Rotten Flesh Steak Cooked Chicken Cooked Porkchop Cooked Rabbit Cooked Mutton	Tamed wolves must exist at full health before being fed to brood. They must be fed to restore HP. Meat cannot be used to tame a wolf. But bones can exist used to tame wolves. In Bedrock Edition, the following tin also be used for healing, but cannot exist used for breeding nor growing a baby wolf: Raw Cod Raw Salmon Pufferfish Tropical Fish Cooked Cod Cooked Salmon Rabbit Stew
True cat (tamed) Ocelot	Raw Cod Raw Salmon	Tamed cats must be at full health before being fed to breed. They must exist fed to restore HP. Ocelots also trust players.
Axolotl	Saucepan of Tropical Fish	A water bucket is returned upon feeding.
Llama (Tamed) Trader Llama (Tamed)	Hay Bale	The post-obit tin can besides be used for growing a infant llama, and for healing: Wheat
Rabbit	Dandelion Carrot Golden Carrot
Turtle	Seagrass	Unlike other mobs, turtles exercise not have the babies immediately, instead they lay eggs that accept a few days to hatch.
Panda	Bamboo	To breed requires viii bamboo at radius of 5 blocks.
Play tricks	Sweet Berries Glow Berries	The baby fox always trusts the player and does non run away when approached.
Bee	Flowers	All one-cake-alpine and 2-block-alpine flowers piece of work, including wither roses. Feeding bees wither roses gives them the Wither upshot and does non anger them.
Strider	Warped Mucus	Carmine fungi do not work.
Hoglin	Crimson Fungus	Convenance hoglins with warped fungi does not work, as hoglins are repelled past them.

Villagers [ ]

A group of villager children playing tag.

Villagers practise not breed automatically when given food. Villager breeding depends on both the number of valid beds in the surface area (run across the hamlet page for full details), as well as whether the villagers are "willing." A villager may become willing if they accept iii bread, 12 carrots, 12 potatoes, or 12 beetroots in their inventory. They may besides become willing as a outcome of trading with a player. When they breed, they produce a smaller villager. Unlike many babe animals, baby villagers exercise non take large heads in Java Edition. Babe villagers run around the hamlet, and can "play" tag. A baby villager killed past a zombie may get a baby zombie villager, depending on difficulty.

Breeding formula [ ]

A histrion may desire to know the number of mobs required in a farm to reach a certain goal, for case: to make a full-powered enchanting table with bookshelves (46 leather needed) or for full leather armor (24 leather), in case the thespian has a cow farm. There is a formula to summate how many mobs are needed in a subcontract, by the starting number and if the player waits until all the mobs become mature (this does not use to villagers):

where is the number of mobs at generation , and is the flooring() operation.

When using larger values of due north, information technology may be easier to gauge the number of mobs using an exponential function to avoid doing likewise many recursive calculations:

where the input is the north-th generation and the output is the gauge number of mobs later convenance. The constant is Euler'south number.

Alternatively, if the histrion starts with mobs and wants to attain a population of at least , information technology can exist accomplished in generations, where is the ceil() performance.

Baby mobs [ ]

An example of how a bred sheep inherits a mixture of its parents' colors when possible.

Baby animals are smaller variations of their parents, having pocket-size bodies, relatively big heads, and faster walking speeds. Their sounds are the same as their adult variants only 50% faster and are pitched upwards by 6 semitones. Lambs cannot exist sheared for their wool, chicks do not lay eggs, calves and mooshroom calves cannot be milked, and horses, mules, donkey foals, piglets and stridlings cannot exist saddled or ridden. They practise not drop boodle or experience if killed (excluding baby zombies and their variants).

Except for baby rabbits,^[ane] wild wolf pups, ocelot kittens, stray kittens, and baby turtles,^[2] most baby animals in Java Edition) choose and follow an adult within 8 blocks of the same species, regardless of whether it is their parent. Babies can choose new targets to follow whenever they don't have a valid target, such as when the previous target dies or moves farther than 16 blocks away. Tamed pups and kittens follow their owner if the parent is absent or sitting, and pups attack aggressive mobs simply as a mature wolf would.

When lambs are built-in, they commonly inherit the colour of one of their parents, chosen at random. Notwithstanding, if the parents take "compatible" colors (meaning that their corresponding dye items could exist combined into a tertiary dye), the lamb inherits a mix of the parents' colors (encounter Dye). This holds even if one or both of the parents accept just been sheared before breeding and accept not yet grown their coats back. In Bedrock Edition, even so, lambs do not inherit the combined colors of their parents.

Baby animals can be manually spawned past using spawn eggs on a grown animal. This also works on zombies or variants.

Baby animals may also be spawned using the /summon control with a negative Age tag; for case, using /summon sheep ~ ~ ~ {Age:-100} spawns a baby sheep at the thespian'due south position, that matures in 100 ticks (five seconds). For baby mobs that don't abound upwards like zombies and piglins, the IsBaby:ane tag is used instead.

Feed graphic for babe animals.

Baby animals accept 20 minutes to abound up. This can be accelerated past feeding them their convenance item. Dark-green sparkles appear similar to those caused past bone meal. Each feeding reduces the remaining fourth dimension before the animal grows upwards by x%. The less time remains, the less time is saved by each feeding, making it inefficient to feed an fauna continuously until it becomes an adult. Afterward the ninth feeding, the time saved past one feeding is less than a minute, as shown in the graph. Horses, donkeys, and llamas have unlike mechanics: different breeding items grow babies by different amounts, and each item ages babies by a constant time rather than a per centum of the remaining fourth dimension.

Baby undead mobs and babe piglins cannot be bred and never grow up. Infant polar bears (cubs) tin grow upward, but cannot be bred, and growth fourth dimension cannot be accelerated.

Infant hoglin is considered a monster in Java Edition, simply it is considered an animal in Bedrock Edition. This is because hoglin and baby hoglin are counted toward monster mob cap in Java Edition, while in Boulder Edition, they are counted toward animal mob cap, despite its hostile nature.

Animals [ ]

All of these mobs are considered animals, as the majority of them are real-life animals. The majority of these mobs tin can be created when their parents take entered beloved way after being fed.

Monsters [ ]

Any infant mob that counts toward the "Monster Hunter" and "Monsters Hunted" advancements or are merely undead is considered a monster and belongs here. Out of all these monsters, only hoglins tin be bred, and can grow up into its adult class. The remainder of these baby monsters cannot be bred and never grow up.
