Goats in Minecraft are a fairly recent addition, coming to the game in update 1.17. Goats are a neutral animal mob which attack only when provoked. They are found in mountainous biomes and are a great source of goat horns and milk. Here is how to find and breed goats in Minecraft.
Where to find goats in Minecraft
Goats will naturally spawn in the following biomes:
Frozen Peaks
Jagged Peaks
Snowy Slopes
They usually spawn in groups of two or three and there is a 2% chance they will spawn as a screaming/screamer goat.
How to breed goats in Minecraft
You can breed goats in Minecraft by luring them with wheat. Goats follow players that are within ten blocks who are holding wheat. You can use a lead on a goat to move them around.
Feed two adult goats wheat to get them to mate and produce a baby goat.
If a standard goat is bred with a screaming goat, there is approximately a 50% chance the resulting baby is a screaming goat. If both goats are screaming, there is a 100% chance in Java Edition and a 98% chance in Bedrock Edition that the baby is a screaming goat.
Goats will ram into single unmoving targets every 30 to 300 seconds within a range of 4–16 blocks. They may target players, armor stands, or any mob except for other goats and ghasts. If you’re around goats, look out for when it lowers its head and stomps preparing to charge. You can move out of the way to avoid getting hit for 1 or 1.5 hearts and a 9 block knockback.
Goats drop a goat horn when they charge into a solid block that occurs naturally where goats spawn. A goat can be milked by using a bucket on it. Milk is used for baking cakes and for clearing status effects. You can achieve the ‘Whatever Floats Your Goat’ achievement by getting in a boat with a goat and floating.
