A rabbit is a passive mob found in many snowy and forested biomes, as well as deserts. It runs away from players that are not holding its food, and is able to jump over fences. Rabbits are a source of raw rabbit, rabbit hide and rabbit's feet.

The Killer Bunny is a hostile rabbit variant exclusive to Java Edition that can only be spawned using commands.

Rabbits spawn above grass, snow blocks or sand in specific biomes. They spawn in small groups of 1 adult and 1–2 babies.​^{[more information needed]}

They can generate individually after the generation of the world.

Rabbits can naturally spawn as one of 6 variants: brown, white, black, white splotched, gold, and salt.

Rabbits of the following colors spawn in the following biomes:

Gold rabbits are the most common rabbit color and are found only in deserts. White and white splotched rabbits are also quite common and spawn in some snowy biomes. Default rabbit colors such as black, brown and salt can also spawn in any other non-snowy biome via spawn eggs, commands, monster spawners or breeding.

In Java Edition, rabbits can also be found in old growth taigas.

In Bedrock Edition, up to three baby rabbits spawn in flower forests and rabbits can also spawn in frozen aquatic biomes: snowy beaches, frozen oceans, and frozen rivers.

The wolves and foxes found in taigas and mountainous biomes may kill rabbits, so rabbits are generally more plentiful in the desert, flowery, or icy biomes.

The killer bunny‌^{[Java Edition only]} does not spawn naturally and must instead be spawned using the command /summon minecraft:rabbit ~ ~ ~ {RabbitType:99}.

Upon successful breeding, 1–7XP is dropped.

Java Edition:

Bedrock Edition:

• 1–3XP upon player kills.

Killing a baby rabbit yields no items or experience.

Rabbits hop around aimlessly instead of walking. They can jump up to almost 2 blocks in height. They slowly approach players holding carrots, golden carrots or dandelions within 8 blocks. They do not follow players holding a carrot on a stick.^[1] Rabbits also jump off of cliffs to reach carrots^{[no longer the case for BE, requires checking for JE]} but do not go into lava for them. They randomly flee around if attacked.

Rabbits can survive up to 4.5 blocks of fall damage^{[needs checking for JE]} and will not jump more than they can survive for food.

All non-hostile rabbits avoid players within 8 blocks and wolves within 10 blocks. They also avoid most monsters within 4 blocks except ghasts‌^{[JE only]}, hoglins, magma cubes‌^{[JE only]}, phantoms‌^{[JE only]}, shulkers‌^{[JE only]}, slimes‌^{[JE only]}, undead mounts (camel husks, skeleton horses, zombie horses and zombie nautiluses‌^{[JE only]}), and the ender dragon.^[2] Notably, rabbits do not try to avoid foxes and cats, and only run from them when attacked.

If mob_griefing‌^{[JE only]} or mobgriefing‌^{[BE only]} is true and [Int] MoreCarrotTicks is less than or equal to 0, rabbits have a chance to find and eat mature carrot crops‌^{[Java Edition only]} / carrot crops with growth stage greater than 1‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}. This reduces the growth stage by one, removing the crop completely when the growth stage reaches 0.

Wild wolves, foxes, and stray cats are hostile to rabbits.

Rabbits can be bred using carrots, golden carrots or dandelions.

Baby rabbits usually inherit the same type of fur as one of the parents (47.5% chance of each), but there is a 5% chance for the baby to have the fur type matching the current biome. Baby rabbits grow to adulthood after 20 minutes, although their growth can be slowly accelerated using carrots, golden carrots or dandelions; each use reduces 10% of the remaining time to grow up.

Despite their hostile nature, killer bunnies can breed with other rabbits and with each other, having the unusual chance of creating a baby killer bunny.

A Toast rabbit does not produce a Toast rabbit baby, however.

In Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education, baby rabbits follow their parents.^[3]

Rabbits typically spawn using one of six different skins. Skins include regular brown fur, white fur with red eyes (white), black mottled fur, black and white spotted fur, gold fur, and salt and pepper fur. The biome determines the skin used:

• Rabbits in snowy biomes have 80% white fur and 20% black and white fur.
• Rabbits in deserts have 100% gold fur.
• Rabbits in other biomes have 50% brown fur, 40% salt fur, and 10% black fur.
• Rabbits with specific skins can be spawned using /summon minecraft:rabbit ~ ~ ~ {RabbitType: (Number from 0 - 5)}‌^{[Java Edition only]} or /summon rabbit ~ ~ ~ in_desert (gold)/in_snow (white)‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]}.
• While it is possible to go above 5, this results in rabbits with skins identical to RabbitType: 0, except for RabbitType: 99, the Killer Bunny.

There are two special variants of rabbits:

The killer bunny is an unused hostile variant of the rabbit exclusive to Java Edition that is hostile toward players and wolves. It is a reference to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog from the British comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.^[4] It has pale pinkish white fur, reddish pink ears and horizontal red eyes, compared to a normal rabbit's vertical eyes. It can only spawned be spawned by the /summon minecraft:rabbit ~ ~ ~ {RabbitType:99} command. It appears with a nameplate over its head reading "The Killer Bunny".

If the killer bunny finds any player within a 16-block radius, it hops toward the player much faster than a normal rabbit. It moves in a style similar to that of a spider. Once it closes in, it jumps at the player, dealing 8HP👁 ❤️

damage on Normal difficulty. If the player strikes at the killer bunny, it runs away for a brief moment, then returns to lunging at the player.

If it cannot find a player, the killer bunny actively seeks out and attacks any wolves, including tamed ones.

On Peaceful difficulty, the killer bunny does not despawn, despite its hostile nature. It still attacks wolves, but not the player.

Like hoglins, the killer bunny can be bred and leashed and follows players holding carrots, despite its hostile nature.

Naming a rabbit Toast (using either a name tag or a renamed spawn egg) re-textures it to have the appearance of a black dutch, with a large black and white patch and more black fur around the face than the natural white splotched rabbit. Other than its name and skin, Toast behaves exactly like a normal rabbit. When Toast rabbits are bred, whether with each other or with regular rabbits, their offspring do not have the Toast pattern; they have a pattern consistent with the parents' original coloring prior to renaming. If the player renames a killer bunny to Toast, it still attacks players and wolves. Like the killer bunny, Toast does not spawn naturally.

This rabbit is based on user xyzen420's girlfriend's missing rabbit, which Ryan Holtz (TheMogMiner) implemented as a memorial.^[5]
