Manage Your Tamed Hippo's Behavior
Pet Modes Explained
Your tamed hippo has three behavior modes:
- Wandering: Hippo roams freely and explores on its own
- Resting: Hippo stays in one place and recovers health slowly
- Following: Hippo follows you wherever you go
Switch modes by right-clicking your tamed hippo with an empty hand.
Keeping Your Hippo Calm
Even tamed hippos may randomly attack you. To prevent this:
1. Feed your hippo regularly with vegetables or fruit
2. Let it rest in water to restore health naturally
3. Check your mod configuration and set can_attack_randomly to false if you want to disable random attacks entirely
4. Adjust random_attack_chance to reduce attack frequency if you prefer to keep the feature enabled
Daily Care
Tamed hippos need access to water during the day for cooling and health recovery. At night, ensure they have grass to eat. Use the resting mode when you want your hippo to stay put and heal, and following mode when traveling together.
