Play as a cat

Items, armour and elytra

Your inventory and equipment stay with you after transformation. Use tools, place blocks, open containers and wear armour as usual. Elytra also work in cat form.

Walk on four paws or stand upright

Adjust Camera Height to choose a low, four-paw posture or an upright one. Cats can fit into one-block-high passages and sprint through them.

Choose food

From neko form onward, raw meat is as nourishing as cooked meat. Raw chicken no longer causes Hunger. Many plant foods are less filling, and hunger depletes more slowly.

Avoid cakes, cookies and other sweets, just as you would avoid rotten flesh and other harmful food in normal gameplay.

Creepers, phantoms and kittens

Creepers avoid you once you are a neko, and phantoms no longer spawn for you.

In full cat form, another player can feed you raw cod or salmon. Two fed cat players, or a fed cat player and a tamed cat, can breed and have a kitten.
