Emberfrost Stingray

Quickstart

• Find an Emberfrost Stingray in an ocean, or use its spawn egg from the Creative inventory. You can also summon one with /summon emberfrost-stingray-a6ps5ybx:emberfrost_stingray_a6ps5ybx.
• Hold an apple or golden apple and interact with the ray to try to tame it. Each apple has a one-in-three chance to succeed, so keep trying if you see smoke instead of hearts.
• Once tamed, attack a nearby enemy—or let an enemy attack you—to see your stingray join the fight. It follows you when you get far away.

Overview

The Emberfrost Stingray is an aquatic companion with both icy and fiery attacks. Tame one with apples, then bring it along: it follows its owner and automatically helps against threats.

What It Adds

• One mob: the Emberfrost Stingray.
• One spawn egg, available in the Creative Spawn Eggs inventory.
• A taming interaction, owner-following behavior, and automatic combat abilities.

How To Use

Interact with a wild stingray while holding an apple or golden apple to attempt taming. A successful tame gives it an owner; feeding more apples to your own injured stingray restores 6 health points. Apples aren’t consumed in Creative mode.

A tamed stingray follows when it gets more than about eight blocks away and helps fight enemies you recently attacked or that recently hurt you. It won’t target you or your teammates.

Crafting And Obtaining

Stingrays spawn naturally in oceans. You can also place the Emberfrost Stingray spawn egg in water to spawn one. There is no crafting recipe.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Frostfire strike: Deals 4 magic damage, freezes the target, applies Slowness II for 5 seconds, and sets it on fire briefly.
• Inferno: Periodically replaces a frostfire strike. It deals 6 fire damage and sets valid enemies within 3.5 blocks of its target on fire for 6 seconds.
• The stingray needs a clear view of its target and engages at close range.

Progression And Strategy

Taming may take several apples, so bring extras. Keep your companion nearby when fighting: it can pursue threats and its Inferno can hit multiple enemies clustered around its target. If it’s hurt, feed it apples to restore health.
