Taming is performed with Golden Wheat, the mod's universal taming item. To attempt a tame, crouch and right-click the target mob while holding Golden Wheat. Simply holding Golden Wheat also grants a movement speed boost (about 1.25x) to nearby animals, helping you herd them.

Taming is chance-based, with a default success rate of roughly one in three (about 33%) per attempt. Several optional rules can change the odds and requirements:

  • Health scaling - When enabled, a mob with lower current health is easier to tame, so weakening a creature first improves your chances.
  • Health threshold - Some mobs may need to be brought below a certain health percentage before they can be tamed at all.
  • Kill requirement - A mob type may require you to defeat one of its kind at least once before any of them can be tamed.
  • Custom taming items - Specific mobs can be configured to require their own taming item instead of, or in addition to, Golden Wheat (for example bones for skeletons or gunpowder for creepers).

Mobs can be grouped into categories that share a taming limit, allowing a cap on how many pets of a given type a player may own.
