* Adding polar bears to ''Minecraft'' was a request by Jeb's wife. Jeb answered they'd be added "if they ever had a bear of their own".

And then it turned true, because our son was born and we called him Björn - which means bear in Swedish! So I had to add a bear in the game. - JENS BERGENSTEN}}</ref>

Template:For Template:Infobox entity Polar bears are large Minecraft:neutral mobs that live in icy Minecraft:biomes. Adult polar bears are protective of their babies, attacking Minecraft:players that get too close or attack any babies near them.

Spawning

Polar bears spawn in snowy plains, ice spikes, frozen and Minecraft:deep frozen ocean biomes, and additionally/sometimes in Minecraft:frozen river, Minecraft:legacy frozen ocean, Minecraft:snowy slopes, Minecraft:jagged peaks, and Minecraft:frozen peaks biomes Template:In. They spawn in groups of up to two, above Minecraft:ice. Template:IN, polar bears don't spawn on ice in snowy plains and ice spikes biomes. If there is a group, the second polar bear is a baby.

Drops

On death

On Template:JE, one of cod or salmon is selected. On Template:BE, both drops are rolled.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Template:DropTable

Killing a baby polar bear yields no Minecraft:items or Minecraft:experience.

Behavior

File:Polar Bear attacking.gif
A polar bear attacking.

Polar bears can be passive, neutral, or hostile depending on the situation. Baby polar bears are passive, and adults are neutral; becoming hostile when a player either directly attacks it or when the player comes close to or attacks any baby polar bears near it (unless killed in one hitTemplate:Only).

If a baby polar bear is attacked, unless killed in one hitTemplate:Only, all adults within a 41×21×41 area become hostile toward the player or mob, regardless of difficulty, although in Peaceful difficulty their attacks do zero damage to players.

Template:IN, attacking an adult who is within a 16×8×16 area of a cub also provokes other adults within a 21×21×21 area of the attacked adult.

Polar bears also attack Minecraft:foxes.

  • Adult polar bears attack any fox that stays near it for a while, hitting it once every few seconds. Baby polar bears are more aggressive and attack foxes within 16 blocks.

Polar bears attack by rearing on their back legs and mauling down with their front paws. Their swimming speed is equal to the player's, making them difficult to get away from if they are attacking in Minecraft:water.

Polar bears are immune to freezing damage from Minecraft:powder snow.

Unlike most animal mobs, polar bears cannot Minecraft:breed. Baby polar bears can only be found when they naturally spawn. A baby polar bear eventually turns into an adult after 24000 ticks (20 minutes), and their growth cannot be sped up.
