Giraffe

Giraffes wander around savanna biomes, looking around with their tall necks.

Spawning

Giraffes spawn in groups of 2-4 above grass blocks at a light level of 9 or more in savanna biomes.

Spawn biomes can be edited with a data pack via adding or removing biomes from tags/worldgen/has_giraffe.json in Naturalist’s data files.

Drops

An adult giraffe drops upon death:

• 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/giraffe.json in Naturalist’s data files.

Behavior

Giraffes wander aimlessly, running from the player for a short period when attacked. Baby giraffes follow their parents like other mobs.

Giraffes can be fed apples or golden apples to allow the player to ride them for 30 seconds. While riding giraffes, the player’s map distance is increased by 1.5x. This allows the player to quickly fill out their map and find structures and other points of interest.

Giraffes can be bred with hay bales, and can only be bred when they’re not being ridden.
