Section titled “Mechanics”The Extinct is a comprehensive Minecraft Bedrock Add-On introducing 21 new creatures, dozens of items, gear sets, blocks and more, designed to transform your survival experience by bringing extinct creatures back to the Minecraft universe.
Finding Eggs
Section titled “Finding Eggs”Creatures spawn naturally across Overworld, Nether and End biomes, and occasionally leave Nests. These nests contain eggs used for hatching and taming.
Hatching Eggs
Section titled “Hatching Eggs”To hatch an egg, place it in a nest. Eggs placed into Warm Nests hatch faster. Hold a furry carpet and interact with a regular nest to make it cozy and warm.
Interact with a placed egg while holding Honeycomb to wax it. A waxed egg never hatches, so you can keep it as long as you want. Scrape the wax off with an axe and the hatch timer continues. Waxing works on all 12 egg-laying creatures, and a waxed egg stays waxed if you break it and place it again.
Growing
Section titled “Growing”Tamed creatures grow from baby to adult over time or when fed.
Feed a Golden Dandelion to a baby creature to pause its growth. It stays a baby until you feed it another Golden Dandelion.
Taming
Section titled “Taming”Feed a creature its favourite food to tame it. Each attempt has a chance to work, so keep feeding until it succeeds. Every creature can be tamed in the wild, including the aggressive ones, and the chance scales with how dangerous the creature is.
| Chance per attempt | Creatures |
|---|---|
| 30% | Bloomdodo, Sand Runner, Ironthumb |
| 20% | Rocktail, Spikeback, Thorncrest, Skyreach, Cloudclaw, Razorjaw, Mammosk, Void Runner, Ender Wing |
| 15% | Sabertooth, Frosthorn, Coralback, Swiftstride |
| 10% | Carnoravager, Ashclaw, Venomfang |
| 5% | Grumble, Voidspine |
Taming items for the aggressive creatures:
- Grumble: any raw meat or Rotten Flesh
- Carnoravager: any raw meat
- Ashclaw: any meat, raw or cooked, or Rotten Flesh
- Venomfang: Echo Shard or Sculk Vein
- Voidspine: Chorus Fruit
Hatching an egg still works and gives you a tame creature from birth.
Riding and Flying
Section titled “Riding and Flying”Rideable creatures include Rocktail, Razorjaw, Void Runner, Ender Wing, Mammosk, Frosthorn, Coralback, Swiftstride, Ironthumb, Voidspine, Carnoravager, and Sabertooth. Some offer gliding, others speed, inventory, or defensive perks. Coralback only accepts a saddle as a tamed adult.
Riding uses a wide camera by default, similar to the Happy Ghast. Turn on Legacy Camera in the settings menu to get the old close camera back. The change applies when you mount again, or after you land if you are flying.
You get the settings item when you first join a world. Craft another from 4 Sticks around 1 Leather.
Interact with your Grumble while riding it to make it roar.
Breeding
Section titled “Breeding”Tameable creatures breed using the same food that tames them. Feed two tamed adults of the same species to get a baby.

Coralback, Swiftstride and Ironthumb
Section titled “Coralback, Swiftstride and Ironthumb”All three are rideable, and all three are born live, so they have no eggs and no nests.
| Name | Nature | Damage | Tamed With | Spawns In | Drops |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coralback | Defensive | 8 | Fish, raw or cooked | Oceans, deep oceans | Scale |
| Swiftstride | Skittish | 8 | Riding it until it accepts you | Mesa | Shimmer Feathers |
| Ironthumb | Passive | 10 | Lily Pad, Kelp, Sweet Berries, Mangrove Leaves | Swamps, mangrove swamps | Heavy Leather, Scale |
Coralback is the first water mount. Ride it and you breathe underwater, and you get night vision to see through the dark. Nearby players within 4 blocks get the water breathing too. It takes no damage from magma blocks and pushes up through bubble columns instead of being dragged down. Wild Coralbacks defend their waters, so bring fish, not weapons.
Swiftstride is the fastest mount on land and takes no fall damage. It travels the mesa in small flocks. Feed it Wildflowers to build its trust, then hop on. It throws you off a few times before it accepts you, the same way a horse does.
Ironthumb farms for you. Ride it through your fields and interact to harvest every mature crop around you. Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroots, and Cocoa are replanted, and one seed or crop is used for the replant. Stems, Sugar Cane, Bamboo, Torchflower, and Pitcher Plant are harvested without replanting.
Creatures drop a wide variety of crafting components used for gear, trading, and taming.
| Item | Use | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Dodo Feather | Feather armour | Bloomdodo |
| Ashclaw Feather | Feather armour | Ashclaw |
| Venomfang Gland | Venomfang potions | Venomfang |
| Void Membrane | Crafting | Void Runner |
| Tusks | Weapons/tools | Grumble, Mammosk |
| Skyreach Manure | Fertiliser block | Skyreach |
| Frozen Carrot | Taming Frosthorn | Rare loot |
| Blueberry | Tame Thorncrest | Found/grown |
| Fur | Carpets, trades | Sand Runner, Mammosk |
| Ender Echo | Ender Helmet | End mobs |
| Heavy Leather | Heavy Leather Armour | Ironthumb |
| Shimmer Feather | Shimmer Chestplate, glow snack | Cloudclaw, Swiftstride |
| Golden Dandelion | Pause a baby’s growth | Vanilla item |
| Honeycomb | Wax an egg | Vanilla item |
Shimmer Feathers are edible. Eat one and you glow for 2 minutes, which lights up the ground around you as you walk. The item then goes on a 2 minute cooldown. The glow ends early if you change dimension.
