	Most baby mobs take 20 minutes to grow up. This can be accelerated by feeding them their breeding item. Green sparkles appear similar to those caused by [[Minecraft:bone meal]]. {{IN\|Java}}, each feeding usually reduces the remaining time before the animal grows up by 10%. The less time remains, the less time is saved by each feeding, making it inefficient to feed an animal continuously until it becomes an adult. After the eighth feeding, the time saved by one feeding is less than a minute, as shown in the graph above. {{IN\|BE}}, each feeding saves 10% of the total time rather than the remaining time, so no more than ten feedings are needed to age up a single baby into an adult.

	Most baby mobs take 20 minutes to grow up. This can be accelerated by feeding them their breeding item. Green sparkles appear similar to those caused by [[Minecraft:bone meal]]. {{IN\|Java}}, each feeding usually reduces the remaining time before the animal grows up by 10%. The less time remains, the less time is saved by each feeding, making it inefficient to feed an animal continuously until it becomes an adult. After the eighth feeding, the time saved by one feeding is less than a minute, as shown in the graph above. {{IN\|BE}}, each feeding saves 10% of the total time rather than the remaining time, so no more than ten feedings are needed to age up a single baby into an adult.

Baby animals may also be spawned using the {{cmd\|summon}} command with a negative {{code\|Age}} tag; for example, using {{cmd\|summon sheep ~ ~ ~ {Age:-100} }} spawns a baby sheep at the player's position, that matures in 100 [[Minecraft:tick]]s (5 seconds). For baby mobs that do not grow up like zombies and [[Minecraft:piglin]]s, the {{code\|IsBaby:1}} tag is used instead. In Bedrock Edition summoning a baby mob can be done by the use of [SpawnEvent: minecraft:as_baby].

	Baby animals can be manually spawned by {{control\|using\|use}} [[Minecraft:spawn egg]]s on a grown animal. This also works on zombies or variants. Baby animals may also be spawned using the {{cmd\|summon}} command with a negative {{code\|Age}} tag; for example, using {{cmd\|summon sheep ~ ~ ~ {Age:-100} }} spawns a baby sheep at the player's position, that matures in 100 [[Minecraft:tick]]s (5 seconds).
