THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT PAND
A sneeze from a baby panda makes nearby pandas jump.
This is a reference to a more than 12 year old YouTube video!
"Panda Sneeze" (2006)
Baby pandas are special!
They can produce an item I did not expect them to!
There's a chance every time a baby panda sneezes...
That it'll drop a slimeball.
Gross but useful! :D
Pandas are notoriously hard to breed in real life.
Though it's easier here, it's not as easy as with other mobs.
There must be at least 8 blocks of bamboo nearby.
To be exact, 8 bamboo blocks within a 5 block radius.
Otherwise, pandas won't enter proper love-mode.
When pandas can't breed, they even grunt a special way.
There are 7 types of pandas in the game!
This is the regular one, it frowns a little.
It's boring, so let's move on...
This is the "weak" panda type.
It's easy to recognize by the snot hanging out of its nose.
This one is more interesting, as it has some special properties.
Here in the middle there's a regular and a weak panda.
Regular pandas have 20 health points, 10 hearts of health.
Those sound effects make me feel kind of bad. :|
The weak panda however, it only has 10 health points, 5 hearts!
Weak baby pandas also sneeze more often than others.
Then there's the aggressive panda.
While most pandas are passive, the aggressive panda is not.
It's what's called neutral.
That means it'll get hostile after you attack it.
They also become hostile if you attack nearby pandas.
Much like wolves and pigmen.
The brown panda type is just like the regular panda, but brown.
It does not have any special behaviour, but is somewhat rare.
It is possibly a representation of the rare "Qinling" panda.
The worried pandas are quite special as well.
They have the same eyes as the tamed wolf.
Worried pandas will avoid players and most hostile mobs.
On top of that, they won't eat bamboo on their own.
During thunderstorms, worried pandas get frightened.
They hold their legs in front of their eyes, cute!
Once the thunderstorm stops they return to normal.
For some reason, the worried pandas doesn't care about...
Ghasts, magma cubes, shulkers, phantoms, slimes and the ender dragon, despite them being hostile.
This one even seems to be throwing a party here! :D
Adult pandas will drop 0-2 bamboo when killed.
The lazy panda can be recognized by its smile.
It is slower than the regular panda.
It's apparently the slowest walking land-mob.
It also has this cute animation where it lays on its back.
The playful panda is my favorite panda type.
The pink is its tounge sticking out of its mouth.
Playful pandas have the coolest animation in the game.
They do this really clumsy-looking flip.
Playful pandas won't avoid water and cliffs.
This does mean they get into a few more accidents.
The rolling behavior is especially dangerous when up high.
(Panda die)
It happens. :I
In addition to bamboo, pandas will also eat cake.
Simply drop it on the ground nearby.
The panda sounds have are authenic!
To record them, the sound-team went to China!
Mojang released a small video about how it went!
"Recording Panda Sounds for Minecraft!" (2018)
We are here to record sound for the panda
So I like to capture all of them.
Interesting little video!
I am surprised by the amount of effort put into these sounds!
A panda's type is decided in a very interesting way.
Each panda has a "MainGene" and a "HiddenGene".
This simulates real-life dominant and recessive genes.
This means some traits will be overpowered by other traits.
Weak-panda and brown-panda trait genes are recessive.
If this doesn't make sense, look up "dominance in genetics"!
It directly affects human traits like eye color!
Villagers apparently have some bond with pandas.
Attacking a panda nearby will make them angry.
If there's an iron golem, it will start attacking you!
Maybe because pandas are an endangered species?
The aggressive panda has had another texture!
It was far scarier with red eyes!
Reminds me of an angry wolf!
If you looked to the end I would like to say thank you!
