Duck

Ducks are passive mobs that can be found in swamp biomes, slapping their webbed feet upon the ground as they walk.

Spawning

Ducks spawn in groups of 1-3 above grass blocks, dirt, mud, etc. minecraft/tags/blocks/dirt.json as well as water.

Drops

Adult ducks lay duck eggs every 5-10 minutes.

An adult duck drops upon death:

• 0-2 feathers. The maximum is increased by one per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III.
• 1 raw duck or cooked duck if killed while on fire. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1-4 with Looting III.
• 1-3 experience orbs if killed by a player or tamed wolf.
• 1-7 orbs upon breeding.

Item drops can be edited with a data pack via editing loot_tables/entities/duck.json in Naturalist’s data files.

Killing a duckling yields no items nor experience.

Behavior

Ducks wander aimlessly but follow Players holding seeds.

Upon entering water, ducks will bring in their legs and float on the water, not flapping their wings like chickens.
