Description

Rabbit's Foot is a brewing item in Minecraft, added in Java Edition 1.8, used to create the Potion of Leaping (Jump Boost). You cannot craft a rabbit's foot — it drops from rabbits with a 10% chance when one is killed by a player or a tamed wolf, and the Looting enchantment raises both the chance and the maximum drop. Foxes that pick up a rabbit's foot can also drop the item when killed. To use it, brew an Awkward Potion from Nether Wart, then add the rabbit's foot in a brewing stand to produce a Potion of Leaping that grants Jump Boost. Redstone Dust extends the effect's duration, Glowstone Dust upgrades it to Jump Boost II, and Gunpowder converts it into a Splash Potion of Leaping. Expert-level cleric villagers also buy rabbit's feet for emeralds, giving the item renewable trade value. The item behaves identically in both Java and Bedrock Edition.
