Farming & animals · How it works
Breeding
Feed two adults of a species, they fall in love and a baby is born; it grows up in 20 minutes.
In the game
How to get it
Right click two adult animals of one species within 8 m with their breeding food: cows, sheep, goats, horses and behemoths wheat; hens seeds; tamed dogs meat; tamed cats and bears raw fish; tamed kangaroos berries.
What it is for
More animals without taming them one by one; a birth makes you the owner of both parents and of the baby.
Why it exists
Farm animals multiply when you care for them; monsters never breed -- they only appear.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
Animals have babies when you feed them.
How it works
- Right click an adult with its breeding food: hearts -- it is in love for 30 seconds and looks for a partner within 8 m.
- Feed a second adult of the same species close by.
- A baby is born between them. The parents wait 5 minutes before the next one.
- The baby is half size, follows its mother and grows up in 20 minutes; each time you feed it, it grows up faster.
Breeding foods
| Species | Food | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cow, sheep, goat | wheat | farm animals |
| Horse, behemoth | wheat | |
| Hen | seeds (wheat, flax, cotton...) | |
| Dog | meat, raw or cooked | tamed ones only |
| Cat | raw fish | tamed ones only |
| Kangaroo | berries | tamed ones only |
| Bear | raw fish | tamed ones only |
A pumpkin counts as wheat for the grazers.
Ownership
A birth makes you the owner of both parents and the baby: they are kept for good, saved with the world and back when you return. A server keeps at most 600 players' animals.
Monsters
Hostile creatures never breed: they only appear, in the dark (see Monsters of the night).
