Trivia
- Cows resemble Norwegian red cattle.
- Cows in the PC Gamer Minecraft Demo are branded with a `PCG` logo on their side.
- Notch stated in a tweet that all ⃢₀ₜbreedable⃢₀ peaceful mobs displayed traits of both genders and could breed with any other individual of their species. This applies to cows, since they have horns and give milk (although female cows have horns)
Spawning
Cows are 1.4 blocks tall.
Baby cows are 0.7 blocks tall.
Natural generation
Cows spawn in herds of 4 on top of opaque blocks with at least 2 blocks of space above them, at a light level of 9 or higher. They mostly spawn in herds while the world is first generating; although if there are no passive mobs in loaded chunks, they can spawn after world generation in normal spawning cycles.
Baby cow
If cows are given wheat, their love mode will be triggered, and they will pair off to create calves, which may grant the player a small amount of experience. The parent cows will then have a cooldown of 5 minutes before they can breed again.
The growth of baby cows can be slowly accelerated using wheat. Each use takes 10% off the remaining time to grow up.
