After 5000 blocks I finally found a panda in a bamboo jungle. Now my question: how should I transport it? With a boat? Leash doesn't work? And to what extent can he despawn? Can new pandas spawn so I can come back after 30 minutes and there are new ones in the bamboo jungle or how is that? Because I don't only have water on my way, so I ask how I should transport it. Because I really want a panda as a pet.
It is very important that they do not despawn: name them. I would take it with me either in a boat or in a lore.
I did it with my villagers like this:
I built a path to my house (3000) blocks, although it was an effort to build it at height 70. I then brought you up there with a path that you can only go there and then I took you there by boat.
Oh thank you, unfortunately I noticed that too late. My panda has despawned on the trip. Could I go back to the bamboo jungle and get a new one or to what extent is its spawn rate?
Pandas can't despawn. It's still on the way somewhere.
No, it was in my boat, it is 100% dispawn
Do you play Bedrock Edition?
It can happen there. Is a bug. But he can't despawn in the Java Edition.
No Java
Not even if the chunk leaves where they are?
Even then, yes.
Passive / friendly mobs (with the exception of aquatic life) can't despawn. That is how it is determined.
Imagine you run a cow farm, go away, come back, and all the cows are despawned - that would be stupid.
Pandas are friendly mobs too, so they can't despawn either.
Maybe he was killed somehow? From a skeleton or something? (They don't attack pandas, but maybe accidentally when it wanted to shoot you)
Hmm it was day. Possibly. A buggy or something, my friend his squid are also bent away. I'll just do a nametag next time to be on the safe side, I'll probably give it a name sooner or later. Oh and one more question: are pandas nocturnal or do they spawn as much as they do during the day?
Squids can despawn because they are aquatic creatures.
If the panda is really despawned, then even a nametag doesn't help. Then it was because of a bug. But you can do it.
Pandas need light to spawn. So only during the day (unless you light everything up). In addition, they only spawn on uncovered blocks of grass. Most often they spawn in Bamboo Jungle, where there are so many bamboo poles growing.
So let's assume 2 pandas are 5000 blocks away from my house at the BAMBO Jungle. I take one of them home by boat (takes about 30 minutes) then I go back and the other panda should still be there?
Yes, exactly.
1 block in the nether = 8 blocks in the overworld.
I would recommend you build a path in the Nether. It would then only be 600 blocks long instead of 5000. And then transport the panda on it by boat.
