Pandas are somewhat passive mobs found in bamboo jungle biomes as well as spidery forests, whose behavior is normally passive, but can sometimes be neutral.
Behavior[]
The behavior of pandas may depend on their personality. One thing they have in common is their eating habit, in which they will wolf down their food while sitting down. When a piece of bamboo or cake is on the ground, any nearby pandas will walk to it and pick it up to eat it.
Personality[]
Pandas can have one of six personalities:
- Normal - The default personality of the panda. Has a rare chance of spawning as a brown panda. Brown Pandas still have a default personality.
- Aggressive - Will attack players and other mobs when it or another panda gets hurt. Distinguishable by its grey eyebrows.
- Lazy - Will not interact with the player and are usually the slowest of all the pandas. They usually lay on their bellies. A noticeable feature of them is their smile.
- Playful - Are enthusiastic and will jump over and roll around. They are more vulnerable to falling in high places. They are shown to stick their tongue out.
- Worried - Avoids hostile mobs and hides its face during a thunderstorm. Its expression is the same as its nature.
- Weak - They only have 10 health (5 hearts) and tend to sneeze more often as babies than adult pandas. They are shown by their facial expressions to be vulnerable.
Breeding[]
To breed two pandas, there must be 8 blocks of bamboo within 5 blocks of the two pandas. A player must then feed each panda bamboo. If there are not 8 bamboo blocks within 5 blocks, both pandas will attack the player.
Spawning[]
Pandas spawn in Bamboo Jungle Biomes in small groups at the surface on grass blocks with at least a 2-block space above them with a light level of 9+. They are significantly rarer than most jungle mobs. 5% of them spawn as baby pandas.
