Summary
In Minecraft, breeding mobs involves feeding specific food items to the desired animals, causing them to enter "love mode" and eventually produce offspring. Each mob type requires a unique food item. Once fed, the animals enter "love mode," indicated by flying hearts, and will mate with another animal within eight blocks, resulting in the birth of a baby mob. This process allows players to expand animal populations and create new generations within the game.
