How to kill Panda
Drops 1 bamboo in Java (0-2 in Bedrock) and that is it. Only aggressive pandas fight back, and they hit hard, so leave the rest alone.
Behavior
Seven personalities driven by hidden genes: lazy pandas lie on their backs, playful ones roll, worried ones hide during thunderstorms, aggressive ones attack back, weak ones have half health and sneeze more, and brown pandas are the rare variant. Baby pandas sneeze and make adults jump; a sneeze rarely drops a slimeball. They sit and eat bamboo or cake. In Bedrock, 15% of nearby baby zombies, husks or drowned may ride an adult panda as a jockey.
Taming and breeding
Cannot be tamed. Feed two pandas bamboo to breed, but only with bamboo plants nearby: at least one within a 7x7x3 area in Java, or 8 plants within 5 blocks of each panda in Bedrock.
