Panda is a rare neutral mob that spawns in jungle biomes. Its appearance and behavior vary depending on its personality, making it one of the most unique animals in Minecraft.

Pandas drop 0–2 bamboo upon death, which can be increased with the Looting enchantment. Baby pandas have a 1⁄700 chance to drop a slimeball when they sneeze.

Pandas can be bred using bamboo. To initiate breeding, at least eight bamboo blocks must be present within a five-block radius of the pandas. Feeding two pandas bamboo will put them into love mode, producing a baby Panda. Baby pandas inherit a random personality trait from their parents.

Pandas are neutral mobs and will attack only once when provoked, similar to llamas and bees. They do not attack on Peaceful difficulty. Pandas follow players holding bamboo but stop if the player moves more than 16 blocks away. During thunderstorms, pandas whimper as a reaction to the weather. Adult pandas naturally seek out and eat bamboo and cake, making them one of the few mobs that can eat food without player interaction.
