Pegasus
The Pegasus is a passive mob similar to a Horse that has wings and can fly. The player can ride a Pegaus once it is tamed and saddled.
Spawning
The Pegasus spawns in Plains, Sunflower Plains, Savanna, Savanna Plateau and Windswept Savanna biomes in groups of 2-6. All 7 color variants spawn equally likely and are randomly chosen for each Pegasus.
Appearance
There are 7 color variants of the Pegasus, similar to the 7 base colors of Horses. These variants are black, white, brown, darkbrown, gray, creamy and chestnut.
Drops
When a Pegasus dies, it drops 0-2 Leather and 0-2 Feathers. If the Pegasus was saddled, it also drops the Saddle.
Behavior
The Pegasus walks randomly around the world, stopping occasionally to eat grass when they stand on a Grass Block. They may also look at nearby players.
If a Pegasus falls for more than 10 continuous ticks (0.5 seconds) they spread their wings and start to slow down the fall. If a Pegasus lands slow enough on the ground, it does not take any fall damage regardless of the height of the fall.
Similar to horses they half small chance of regenerating their health each tick.
They will follow players holding a golden carrot, golden apple, or enchanted golden apple.
Taming
Like horses, a Pegasus needs to be tamed in order for the player to be able to breed it or put a saddle on it in order to control the Pegasus.
When right-clicking an untamed Pegasus with an empty hand, the player mounts it making the Pegasus run around until it either throws off the player or becomes tamed, which is indicated by love particles being spawned.
The chance of taming gets higher with each mounting cycle. Additionally the taming chance can be increased by feeding the Pegasus (see below).
Once the Pegasus is tamed, the player can saddle it by shift-right-clicking it with a saddle in hand.
Food
A Pegasus can be fed by the same things as horses. These are:
| Item | Healing | Increase Growth | Increase Taming Chance | Breeding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugar | 1 | 30s | yes | no |
| Wheat | 2 | 20s | yes | no |
| Apple | 3 | 1min | yes | no |
| Carrot | 3 | 1min | yes | no |
| Golden Carrot | 4 | 1min | yes | yes |
| Golden Apple | 10 | 4min | yes | yes |
