Getting Started with Taming

Taming Your First Companion

Diminutive Mob Menace spawns small, fast baby variants of hostile mobs throughout your world. To tame one, hold its favorite item and approach the juvenile creature, then right-click repeatedly until it accepts the item.

Each mob type has a specific taming item—for example, Skeletons prefer String, Creepers want Fireworks, and Witches accept Fermented Spider Eyes. Once tamed, right-click with an empty hand to toggle between Follow and Stay modes.

Tamed companions serve different roles: Skeletons act as ranged guards with bows, Creepers provide defensive explosions, Witches open shops when stationary, and Pillagers shoot crossbows at enemies. Heal your companions by right-clicking with appropriate items like bones or gunpowder. Hold Shift while right-clicking with healing items to check health without consuming them.
