Breeding

  • Food - Bamboo

  • Prerequisites - Two pandas must be near at least eight bamboo plants

  • After feeding, they show heart particles and a baby panda appears

  • The cub randomly inherits personality traits from the parents

Tips

  • Make sure there is enough bamboo around the pandas - otherwise the breeding will not work

  • Use name tags to mark special pandas

  • Weak pandas can be recognized by frequent sneezing - cute, but more vulnerable

Trivia

  • When a baby panda sneezes, there is a small chance that it will drop a ball of slime

  • Pandas can dance on fences if they stand on moving platforms (e.g. slime blocks)

  • Their animations and sounds are unique and make them one of the most charming animals in the game
