Baby

Babies are smaller variations of their adult counterparts, typically having faster walking speeds. Some have unique sounds while others use the same sounds as their adult variants but 50% faster and pitched up by 6 semitones. With the exception of the tadpole, baby mobs are considered the same mob as their adult counterpart.

Baby animals can be manually spawned by using spawn eggs on a grown animal. This also works on zombies or variants. Baby animals may also be spawned using the /summon command with a negative Age tag; for example, using /summon sheep ~ ~ ~ {Age:-100} spawns a baby sheep at the player's position, that matures in 100 ticks (5 seconds). For baby mobs that do not grow up like zombies and piglins, the IsBaby:1 tag is used instead. In Bedrock Edition summoning a baby mob can be done by the use of [SpawnEvent: minecraft:as_baby].

The following mobs have a baby variant, but they cannot breed:
