How to Tame and Lead a Duck Flock

Locating a Flock and Its Leader

To tame ducks, you first need to locate a wild flock. Ducks naturally spawn across riverbanks, taigas, swamps, beaches, and temperate forests. As you search these biomes, watch for groups swimming together or migrating through the sky.

Every flock organizes into a follower chain led by a single leader. You can easily identify the leader by looking for a small glowing particle crown hovering above its head. The other ducks in the group will trail directly behind this crowned individual.

Taming the Leader with Seeds

Once you spot the leader duck:

1. Equip any standard seeds in your main hand.

2. Approach the flock carefully—striking any duck will cause the adults to scatter and flee into the sky.

3. Right-click the crowned leader duck with your seeds to tame it.

Taming the leader brings the entire flock under your control. Walk across land or swim through water, and the follower chain will trail behind you wherever you go. Additionally, tamed ducks will remain completely calm around dangerous monsters and natural predators like wolves.
