Cows are Passive Mobs. They are the primary source of Leather, Raw Beef, and Milk.
Appearance
Cows have black/brown skin with white spots. All cows have a pair of horns on their head. Cows which can be milked have larger prominent udders; upon being milked, these deflate.
Behavior
- Cows roam in the Overworld, spawning in herds of 4.
- By default, cows will wander aimlessly, avoiding water and falling hazards.
- Cows will follow players holding Grass (item), Wheat, or Cake. Note that the presence of grass on this list enables players to herd cows long before they can be bred.
- Like other passive mobs, cows will "flee" (quickly and randomly running) if they are hurt, a nearby passive mob is hurt, a block is placed or destroyed nearby, or they are on fire.
- * When a cow is "fleeing", it will constantly "kick out" with its back legs. Any mob or player that wanders too close will take 7 damage and be flung through the air--often taking fall damage upon landing.
- * Fleeing cows are more apt to accidentally wander off of cliffs.
- Cows will frequently attempt to "graze" on Grass. Upon doing so, they will gradually regenerate their milk supply until they are milkable.
- * Cows require 10 successful grazings to fully replenish their milk.
- * Cows can only graze on grass immediately under themselves.
- * If a cow grazes on Mycelium, it will immediately transform into a Mooshroom.
but they will flee and jump wildly if attacked. They also tend to jump off high cliffs (and die in the process). Cows make no attempt to stay out of water and will follow the player when he/she is holding wheat, which is used for breeding. Cows will make even deadly attempts to follow the player. They also can climb ladders in certain conditions.
- A cow can be milked by right clicking the cow with an empty bucket; doing so will immediately deplete the cow's milk supplies, which can only be replenished by grazing..
Breeding
Main article: Breeding
Breeding cows with cake will create a calf. The parent cows have a delay of 5 minutes until they can breed again. Calves will follow their parents or other adult cows until they're fully grown. A calf looks similar to an adult cow, but its body is smaller while the head remains the normal size of a full adult cow.
Calves move faster than adult cows and take 20 minutes to fully grow. They do not drop anything when killed, nor can they be milked.
Farming
Trapping a herd of cows in an enclosed area and breeding them is beneficial to the player. Cows drop more types of useful resources than all other passive mobs (excluding the rare Mooshroom), thus providing the player with an unlimited supply of steak, milk and leather. However, the expense of Cake as a breeding ingredient means that large farms may be impractical until mid-to-late game.
