Every farmer's worst nightmare

Hares are one of the common animals found in the world, and are a source of redmeat and hide .

Spawning

Hares spawn in light levels 8 and higher, at temperatures between -70 and -8°C, in areas with as little as 0.25 rainfall. They spawn in average groups of 1-4. Hares spawn specifically on medium or taller grass blocks. Therefore, hares will not spawn on tilled farm blocks since the grass that grows on fallow tilled blocks does not grow tall enough to count as a valid spawn. Hare spawns can also be blocked by placing rocks on soil blocks as it prevents grass from growing. They will not spawn on lit blocks.

Behavior

Hares seek plants to eat, either dropped vegetables and grain, or player grown crops growing on tilled soil (except for pumpkin and onion ). If a hare finds a player's farm, it will eat the growing crops whether the plants are ready to harvest or not. If the hare consumes the crop, the plant will die, leaving only a dry plant. The player will only be able to recover a seed to replant it. This does not happen with wild crops. Hares always flee from players and other mobs within about 12 blocks, even before receiving damage.

Adult hares can jump up to one block high, meaning hares can not jump over fences or out of pits 2 blocks deep. However, hares may be able to jump over fences bordered by water blocks due to the extra boost in height from jumping out of water.

Trapping and breeding

Hares cannot be domesticated, but can still be bred, killed, and adults butchered for animal resources. They can be trapped in a pen and fed them by throwing edible vegetables or grain into the pen. A female will need to eat 2 portions before it can mate. If a male is close by, she will become pregnant for 5 days and give birth to baby hares, which will grow to adulthood after 336 hours (14 days).

Since they cannot be domesticated, hares will not eat from a trough and will not lose their fear of the player, no matter the generation.

Drops

Butcher the animal by right-clicking while crouching with a knife in the active hand to harvest its corpse.
