Once a player locates the rabbit they wish to make their own, they will want to ensure that they are able to feed it the correct food. Luckily, rabbits are not the pickiest eaters in the game and are able to be fed a few different kinds of food.

Rabbits prefer to eat carrots, golden carrots, and dandelions. A player can simply hold one of those items in their hand and "use" it on a rabbit to feed it.

What is the benefit of feeding rabbits in Minecraft?

Sadly, rabbits cannot be tamed. This leaves one primary reason for players to want to feed them. However, they can be bred. Rabbits are able to enter love mode by having the player feed them their preferred food. Once two adult rabbits are in love mode within eight blocks of each other, they will come together and create a baby rabbit at their location.

Baby rabbits have a 47.5% chance of inheriting either parent's type of fur. They have a 5% chance of spawning with a biome-specific fur color. Furthermore, by breeding lots of rabbits, players will be able to increase their chances of collecting all the rabbit colors.

Rabbits are cute and small creatures, and it's such a great thing that Minecraft allows you to interact with them.
