Rhino

Spawning

Rhinos spawn in groups of 3-4 above grass blocks at a light level of 9 or more in savanna biomes

Depending on the biome they spawn in, lizards may have different appearances.

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

Drops

An adult rhino drops upon death:

• 1-2 leather. The maximum is increased by one per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1-5 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/rhino.json in Naturalist’s data files.

Killing a baby rhino yields no items nor experience.

Behavior

Rhinos are relatively docile but will begin attacking players who attack them or their calves.

If attacked by players, they will scrape their foot on the ground a few times before quickly charging in a straight line. Upon hitting the player, they will be knocked into the air as well as backwards, a bit similar to iron golems.

If blocked with a shield, this attack will in turn stun them, giving the player time to run away or attack.

When charging, rhinos break fragile blocks determined by the naturalist:tags/blocks/rhino_charge_breakable.json tag if the mobGriefing gamerule is set to true. By default, this includes things like grass, flowers, and crops, but it can be edited to include more or to remove these blocks.

If attacked by non-player mobs, rhinos will attack them normally without charging, simply continuously hitting them with their horn.
