	Like [[Minecraft:bogged]] and [[Minecraft:parched]], the eyes of strays are emissive with [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]].		Like [[Minecraft:bogged]] and [[Minecraft:parched]], the eyes of strays are emissive with [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]].

			=== Picking up items ===
			{{main\|Geared mobs#Picking up gear}}
			Some strays spawn with the ability to pick up dropped [[Minecraft:item]]s from the ground. Unlike [[Minecraft:zombie]]s, however, they pick up only weapons, [[Minecraft:shield]]s, and armor. {{IN\|Java}}, strays pick up items that they happen to walk near. {{IN\|Bedrock}}, they actively search for and walk towards dropped items.

			If the picked up item is a [[Minecraft:weapon]] (other than a bow), the stray uses the item as a melee weapon. Strays do not pick up [[Minecraft:spear]]s under any circumstances. {{IN\|Java}}, strays prefer bows over other weapons, and do not pick up other weapons while wielding a bow. {{IN\|Bedrock}}, the only weapon a stray will swap its held bow for is a [[Minecraft:sword]]. When picking up weapons, strays prefer ones that deal more damage ''without considering enchantments''. They also prefer weapons with NBT data over those without, and weapons that are less damaged.

			If the picked up item is a shield, the stray equips the shield into their offhand. It cannot use the shield to block incoming attacks, however.

			If the picked up item is [[Minecraft:armor]], a [[Minecraft:carved pumpkin]] or a [[Minecraft:head]], the stray equips itself with the item. Strays prefer armor that give more armor points, and will replace their current armor with it. Strays pick up cosmetic wearables (heads and carved pumpkins) as long as they aren't wearing a [[Minecraft:helmet]], and will replace the cosmetic wearable if they find a helmet.

			If a stray has equipment and picks up something they prefer more, the stray drops the old equipment, with the same chance as if killed with Looting I{{Verify\|Is this still the case in both Java and Bedrock?}}, in favor of the new one.

			A stray equipped with a picked-up [[Minecraft:item]] becomes persistent and does not [[Minecraft:despawn]], similar to being [[Minecraft:Name Tag\|named]].
