Approaching, taming and breeding

Hold clean food such as seeds or fruit and right-click to try taming it. Feeding a tamed adult myna can also put it into love mode. Accepted foods include apples, melon slices, berries and carrots.

Companion commands

Once tamed, the owner can sneak and right-click with an empty hand to cycle through Free, Follow, Stay and Return to Nest. The current mode appears on screen. Servers can disable this feature. A bird may still prioritize escaping danger.

Perches and flocks

It forages in villages, farmland and open forest edges during the day, gathering with other mynas and sparrows. Fences, walls and other elevated spots serve as perches.

Resting at night

Its usual calls stop while it sleeps. Damage or loud noises can wake it.

Food list

Wheat seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, beetroot seeds, torchflower seeds, pitcher pods, sweet berries, glow berries, apples, melon slices, carrots, beetroot, wheat, bread, spider eyes and breadcrumbs.

These are the food tags in the current local build. Items contaminated with bird droppings are not treated as normal food for feeding.
