A Moa
A Moa

Moa's are passive mobs that do not take fall damage. They may be mounted using a SaddleSaddle when it is a tamed one. Wild moa's cant be mounted. Only wild moa's are the ones who lay eggs, so a tamed/incubated moa does not lay any eggs.(since 2.5 update). Also, since the 3.0/3.032 updates, Moas may fall into the overworld, where they will roam as they normally would. Another trait added in recent update, is that moas may not be killed unless dropped into the void.

Appearance

Craftland introduces exclusive colors of moa's to its server. The complete list of colors (including default) of moa's are:

  • Red
  • Orange
  • Yellow
  • Green
  • Dark Green
  • Cyan
  • Blue
  • Dark Blue
  • Purple
  • Magenta
  • Pink
  • White
  • Gray
  • Black
  • Brown
  • Winter

These colors are noticeably similar to the color of dyes, yet moa's may not be dyed.

Taming

Moa's drop eggs to their corresponding colors after 5-10 minutes (MOAS WILL ONLY LAY UP TO 4 EGGS IN THEIR LIFE). If the moa has yellow legs, that means it still has some eggs left in it to lay. If it has grey legs, that means it has no eggs left to lay in its lifetime. To make it easier to collect an egg, one can build a 2 block high square around the moa, as they cannot jump higher than 1 block, and wait. (Moas with yellow beaks and legs will lay eggs, grey beaks and legs will not.)

Once an egg is acquired, use an Incubator, fueled by an Ambrosium Torch, to hatch the egg into a baby moa. A baby moa will only eat when hungry. Moa's eat Aechor Petals, respective to as many times they can jump as a grown moa.

  • Black - 8 aechor petals, 6 mid-air jumps.
  • White - 4 aechor petals, 4 mid-air jumps.
  • Blue(and the rest of the list)- 3 aechor petals, 3 mid-air jumps.

(But if you are too impatient you can feed anyone of them a single Golden Aechor Petal and thy will be fully grown.)

Once fully grown, attach a saddle to the moa and it will be claimed yours and will become mountable. Mounted moa's are controllable.

Behavior

Wild moa's roam the aether grass, they will often fall off the island and slowly fall off. Fallen moa's do not show up in world, like a fallen player will, but they may be hatched and tamed in any world. Moa's make not attempt to avoid falling off edges, yet they seem to climb obstacles, making it hard to trap them to get eggs. Moa's do not run away once attacked.

Uses

Moas can be used for getting to high altitudes. They can also be used for recreational activities such as racing. The most common use of a Moa is to travel.
