A Red Kite is a tamable neutral mob that spawns in forests. It was added in the initial release of the mod.

Behavior

Movement

Red kites fly around randomly, preferring to fly towards tree tops. They will swim when in water.

Hunting

Untamed red kites are hostile towards rabbits and little birds like chickadees. Their movement speed increases drastically when aggro'ed, and upon contact with their target they will throw their prey into the air. They can only throw mobs that have less max health than them into the air. After killing prey, they will not hunt until a cool down time has passed.

Red kites will attack anything that damages them, including players.

Taming

Red kites can be tamed with raw rabbit and small bird meat. Tamed red kites no longer attack other animals without the owner's command and will follow their owner. They will sit when right clicked, and attack anything the owner attacks.

Spawning

Red kites spawn in forests, swamps and mesa biomes. They will spawn solitary. Their default spawn weight is 5.
