Template:MobCows are passive mobs that first appeared in indev. Their main purpose is to supply leather which can be used to make the lowest tier armor. They are 1.6875 blocks tall, 0.625 blocks wide and 1.5 blocks long.

Behavior

Cows wander around aimlessly, when they come to an obstacle they will often try to breach it by jumping, and this makes for some odd behavior when at obstacles they cannot over come. They will make no attempt to stay out of water, and a common sight is several cows bouncing up and down in the water. If you stand near a cow, it will turn its head towards you for a few seconds, then resume it's wandering. Cows often spawn in groups of 4-12. Like other passive mobs, they are attracted to lights, and can somtimes be seen jumping up and down on a Torch or other light source.
