Revision as of 10:37, 30 January 2020
Big cats are tamable mobs that come with many variants found in the Overworld.
Spawning
Natural generation
Big cats spawn on grass blocks at light levels of 9 or more in groups of up to 4. Some cats only spawn in certain biomes: leopards spawn in jungles, forests and forest variants; lions, panthers and tigers spawn in plains and forests; and snow leopards spawn in cold biomes. Lions and tigers also spawn more frequently than panthers. There is a 1/20 chance for a white lion, white lioness or white tiger to spawn.
Special variants of big cats, such as hybrids, ghost big cats and winged big cats never spawn naturally, and can only be created by breeding or with the use of essences.
Big cats often spawn in groups of 4 of their own species during world generation. Cubs occasionally spawn with adults.
Drops
Big cats will drop:
- 0–2 File:Icon big-cat-claw.pngBig Cat Claws
- 1–3
experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf. - 1 Medallion if tamed
- 1 Saddle if saddled
- 1 Chest + contents if equipped
Behavior
A tamed tiger sitting.
Big cats wander around aimlessly, occasionally opening their mouths to emit roars and growls and swishing their tails.
Big cats are very aggressive, and will sprint and chase down their prey, this can range from mobs as small as ants, to as large as deer, including the player. If a big cat is attacked by another mob, it will fight back. Like bears, big cats will attack other mobs when hungry. Once a big cat has made a kill, it will remain neutral for a period of time until it gets hungry again. Tamed big cats won't attack each other or other mobs, unless another mob attacks them first.
Wild big cats will become aggressive and attack the player if a whip is used a near it.
Taming
To tame a big cat, Template:Control raw porkchops or raw fish next to a wild cub. This will not work on adolescent cubs. When the cub has eaten the meat, use a medallion on the cub. After doing so, the naming screen will appear.
To rename a big cat, right-click on it with a medallion, book, or name tag. Big cats can be healed by feeding them raw porkchops or raw fish. It will take at least 20 minutes (about one Minecraft day) or more for a cub to grow into an adult. Smaller types of big cats take less time to grow compared to bigger species like lions or ligers.
Breeding
A lion and tiger in love mode.
Feeding tamed big cats raw fish, raw porkchops, raw beef or raw rabbit together in an enclosed space will activate love mode. They can either be fed it or it can be dropped next to them. After being fed and paired together, love hearts will show around the breeding pair, and after around 5–10 minutes, a cub (either the same type as one of the parents or a hybrid) will be produced and the naming screen will appear. The offspring will grow progressively larger with time until they reach their full size. The naming screen will also appear as soon as the cub is born, and, once named, will be tamed to the player.
- Breeding two lions, panthers, tigers, leopards, and snow leopards will produce a big cat cub of the same species as the parents.
- Breeding a species of big cat with another species will produce a combination of the two parents, and the offspring will have a unique coat. See the variations section for more details.
Unlike horses, the breeding pair does not need to be kept away from other big cats, but they do need to be kept close in order to breed, therefore it is recommended to place them in an enclosed space so they can't escape. Winged big cats, ghosts and hybrids are sterile and cannot be bred, and snow leopards, white lions and white lionesses cannot breed with other big cat species.
White lions and white tigers can't be obtained from breeding the two normal variants. To successfully breed a white lion or tiger, you will need to tame the white lion or tiger in the wild, then find a normal or white variant of the same species. Note that the offspring can still be a normal variant if one of the parents is also a normal species.
Usage
Big cats are one of the fastest, if not the fastest mountable mobs in Mo' Creatures. Winged big cats can be used to travel far distances without the use for elytra, as well as provide support for sniping hostile mobs from above.
Big cats can be made to sit by either right-clicking on the ground or on the big cat with a whip. When stationary, they will not move. You can toggle between them sitting and moving around by right-clicking the ground or the big cat with a whip again. A player cannot mount a saddled big cat whilst holding a whip (or any other item that requires the use of right-click).
Riding
A fully grown, tamed big cat can be equipped with a normal or crafted saddle. Once saddled, the player can control it.
A ridden big cat can run very fast. Winged big cats also fly relatively fast, and are much faster than a pegasus or fairy horse, as well as minecarts. They can also be combined with speed potions. The player can make the ridden big cat jump with the Template:Control control, get off with the Template:Control control, and descend on a winged big cat with the Template:Controlcontrol.
Storage
If a tamed, fully grown big cat has been given a chest, it will gain 18 inventory slots. The chest can be accessed by Template:Control and then right-clicking on it.
Chests can be given to a big cat with right-click, and afterwards the chest cannot be removed, except by killing the big cat, placing the big cat in a pet amulet, or with shears. Upon death, the big cat will drop the attached chest and its contents.
Variations
There are nine big cats that spawn naturally in the Overworld, but many more big cats can be obtained with the use of essences and breeding.
There are approximately 21 species of big cats.
Lion
Lions are the only big cat species that are separated by gender.
Lion coloration is usually orange-brown, with the exception of white lions. The underparts are generally lighter and the tail tuft is black. One of the most distinctive features about lions is that male lions have a large mane, while lionesses lack manes. The way to tell the difference between a male and a lioness cub is by looking at their neck; male cubs have small black manes, however, it is not possible to to tell the difference between a male and female white lion cub until they are fully grown.
It is possible to breed white lions with normal lions. The same also goes for tigers.
An essence of light can be used on a tamed male lion or white lion to give them wings so that they can fly.

Tiger
One of the most recognisable species, tigers have a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. White tigers can be given wings with an essence of light to create a white winged tiger.

Panther
Panthers are small big cats with orange or yellowish eyes, and are covered in a black coat. They are not actually a different species, but are in fact black variants of leopards (much like real life panthers). An essence of darkness can be used on a panther to create a winged panther. Winged panthers share the same wing textures as black manticores and bat horses.

Leopard
Leopards are small big cats covered in spots. Unlike most big cats, leopards cannot be given wings.
Snow leopards have a whiter coat, and spawn in snow biomes.
A leopard.

Ghost big cats
Ghost big cats have a chance of spawning when a tamed big cat has been killed. They are transparent and float on the ground.
Ghost big cats are sterile, and cannot breed with other big cats.
The ghost of a white tiger.
Hybrids
Hybrids are the offspring of two big cats of different species. Most, if not all hybrid big cats vary in size, and also have unique markings.
Leoger
Leogers are a cross between a tiger and a leopard, made by breeding a tiger and leopard together.
A leoger.
Liard
Liards are the result of breeding a male lion with a leopard. They are about the same size as a lioness, and slightly smaller than a male lion.
A liard.
Liger
Ligers are the largest type of big cat, and are 1.3 times the size of a lion. They are made by breeding a male lion with a tiger. Like lions, ligers can be given wings with an essence of light.
A liger.
A winged liger.
Lither
Lithers are the cross between a male lion and a panther. They are mostly black but have yellowish-brown paws and underside.
A lither.
Panthard
Panthards are small big cats obtained by breeding a leopard and a panther.
A panthard.
Panthger
Panthgers are the offspring of a panther and a tiger. They look almost exactly like panthers, but are about the same size as a tiger and have black stripes.

Prior to v8.1.0, big cats had different models.
