Rabbits are uncommon passive mobs that spawn in deserts, flower forests, taigas, and tundras. There are six variants of rabbits with different fur colors subject to the spawning biome. They wander aimlessly, they hop from block to block and flee upon being approached by players, except if you are holding a carrot, golden carrot, or dandelion. They drop 0-1 rabbit hide, 0-1 raw rabbit upon being killed.
Rabbits are relatively uncommon to find and are good to farm as they have three potential drops. They can be found in many biomes and they are difficult to catch as they run quickly.

Rabbits have many biomes that they can spawn in. Among them are deserts, flower forests, taigas, and tundras. The biome that you find the rabbit in will change the color/texture of their fur. Creamy rabbits are the most common and rarer colors can be found in flower forests. They will spawn in groups of three with one adult and two kits.
Wolves and foxes will hunt down rabbits. There is another variant of rabbit that is exclusive to the Java edition of Minecraft called the killer rabbit. It can only be spawned through commands.
Rabbits will drop 0-1 rabbit hide, 0-1 raw rabbit, and has a 10% chance to drop a rabbit’s foot. Killing a rabbit will also drop 1-3 XP orbs and successfully breeding them will drop 1-7 XP orbs. It is difficult to hunt down rabbits as they are so small and move very quickly. Cooked rabbit is used in rabbit stew which heals five full hunger bars. This restores more hunger than any other food in the game.
Rabbits will wander aimlessly, they hop from block to block and will flee from the player if they are approached. They will slowly hop towards the player if there are carrots, golden carrots, or dandelions in the player’s hand.
They will also run from hostile mobs. Any non-slime or ghast enemy will cause the rabbit to flee wildly, even though none of these enemies will seek out the rabbits on their own. Wolves, foxes, and ocelots will attempt to hunt rabbits in the wild.
If you name a rabbit “Toast” it will appear as a black and white rabbit which was implemented as a memorial for a player’s bunny that went missing.
The rabbits in Minecraft Pocket Edition move faster than other editions of Minecraft.
Killer rabbits do not spawn naturally and have to be summoned through commands. They do not exist in the Bedrock edition of Minecraft, and can only be summoned through commands in the Java edition. The command is /summon rabbit ~ ~ ~ {Rabbittype:99}. The killer rabbit is a formidable opponent, approach him carefully.
There was never a trial for the killer rabbit. It is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail and was previously known as the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog. Many games reference this fuzzy little murderer and Jeb explains his disdain towards the idea due to its frequent referencing and his philosophy towards hostile mobs, stating that they have to be monsters.
Minecraft rabbits will eat carrots, golden carrots, and dandelions. When you feed a rabbit food it will enter love mode and if you feed two rabbits they will breed. The resulting kit’s fur depends on the color of its parents as well as the biome it was born in.
The rarest would probably be the killer rabbit as it does not exist unless spawned through commands. The rarity of the rabbit would depend on which biome is the most difficult to find in your world. There is no functional difference between each of the rabbit colors and comes down to preference.
Rabbits cannot jump fences in Minecraft. Feel free to pen them in with fences, however, beware of foxes as they will hunt rabbits and can jump above the one and a half block height of a fence. Keep your rabbits secured and foxes out of your pens.
