The {{I|CowHead}} [[cow]] is a passive and common mob that is found in the world of mine blocks aimlessly.

This mob has {{Health|10}} Health and will drop {{I|Leather}} [[Leather]] and {{I|Raw_beef}} [[Raw beef]] when killed

== Spawning ==
They spawn in light areas on {{I|Grass}} [[dirt]]/[[grass]] blocks. They can also be spawned from a spawn egg in [[creative]].

=== Commands ===
A cow can be spawned in another way besides its respective [[spawn egg]], with the command <code>/summon cow</code> you can spawn it.

In addition to that you can add [[data tags]] to customize the cow. examples:

*<code>/summon cow 1 ~ ~ {name:"Milk Cow", defaultDrops: 0, drops:[{item:{id:"bucket_milk"}}]}</code>

*<code>/summon cow 1 ~ ~ {name:"Milk Cow", baby:5, defaultDrops: 0, drops:[{item:{id:"bucket_empty"},isBaby:1}]}</code>

== Drops ==
When killed, they drop 1-2 {{I|Leather}} [[leather]]. They also drop 0-2 {{I|Raw_beef}} raw beef (0-2 {{I|Steak}} [[steak]]s if on fire), and some {{I|Experience_orb_2}} experience points.

When the player [[Key bindings|uses]] an empty {{I|Bucket}} [[bucket]] on a cow, it will give the player a {{I|Bucket_of_milk}} [[bucket of milk]].
