Description
Meet your newest feather companion, the Forest Falcon! Falcons can be found rarely in oak and birch forests. They are neutral mobs but will attack if attacked first, dealing one damage but also inflicting weakness on their foes. To tame a falcon you can use any type of seed. Tamed falcons will be your best friend, and will even bring you a gift once every Minecraft day! The falcon is highly aggressive towards fish, so probably don’t show it your aquarium.

Forest Falcon
Quickstart
- Find a Forest Falcon — they spawn naturally in oak and birch forests, alone or in pairs. Alternatively, use the Forest Falcon Spawn Egg from your Creative inventory to summon one instantly.
- Tame it — hold any seeds (wheat seeds, beetroot seeds, melon seeds, or pumpkin seeds) and interact with a wild falcon. Each attempt has a ~33% chance to succeed. Keep trying until hearts appear.
- Command it — once tamed, interact normally to make it sit or stand/follow. A sitting falcon stays put; a standing falcon follows you and fights alongside you.
- Access storage — sneak + interact with your tamed falcon to open its 3-slot inventory. Select an empty slot to store your held item stack, or select a filled slot to retrieve it.
- Collect daily gifts — every in-game day your tamed falcon drops a random item gift near you (see the Daily Gift table below).
Overview
The Forest Falcon is a tameable, flying bird mob that lives in forested biomes. Modelled after a parrot with its own custom look, it soars with lifelike wing-flap, body-bob, tilt, tail, and leg animations. Wild falcons are neutral but will fight back if attacked. Tamed falcons become loyal companions — they follow you through the air, carry items, defend you in combat, and bring you gifts every day.

How To Use
Taming
Hold wheat seeds, beetroot seeds, melon seeds, or pumpkin seeds and interact with a wild falcon. Each use has roughly a 1-in-3 chance of success. Hearts confirm a successful tame; smoke particles mean it failed — try again.
Sitting & Standing
- Interact with your tamed falcon to toggle between sitting (stays in place, won't teleport, won't follow) and standing (follows you, teleports if needed, fights).
Teleportation
A tamed, standing falcon will teleport to you if you move more than 15 blocks away from it. It will not teleport while sitting.
Combat
Tamed falcons defend you automatically: they will attack anything that attacks you, and will target anything you attack. Wild falcons naturally hunt fish near water; tamed falcons will not hunt fish on their own.
Storage
Sneak + interact with a tamed falcon to open its 3-slot inventory:
- Tap an empty slot → stores your currently held item stack in that slot.
- Tap a filled slot → returns the stored stack to your inventory.
Healing & Feeding
Feed seeds to a tamed falcon to restore its health.

Progression And Strategy
- Early game: Tame a falcon as soon as you enter a forest biome. Even a basic companion that fights alongside you is valuable when exploring.
- Item mule: Use the 3 storage slots to offload rare finds while caving or exploring far from home. The falcon will teleport to you when you move too far, keeping your stored items safe.
- Daily gifts: Keep your falcon alive and standing for a steady trickle of resources — the daily gift can occasionally yield diamonds or emeralds, making long-term taming very rewarding.
- Sitting for safety: Put your falcon in sit mode before engaging dangerous mobs or entering areas where it could be caught in AoE damage. A sitting falcon won't follow you into danger.
- Multiple falcons: You can tame more than one falcon and stagger their daily gift timers for a more frequent supply of goods.
