In versions of Mo' Creatures for Minecraft 1.8, the Crab's AI has changed slightly, and they will now flee from the player when approached. Crabs will not drown in water, although they mostly dwell on land. Crabs may raise their pincers when attacked, but they will not attack.
Like insects, Scorpions and Minecraft Spiders, they have the ability to scale up walls but without the animation. Because of this ability, they may get stuck in a ceiling. But they have been shown to be able to scale up walls in real life.
Variations
Currently, Crabs come in five different colors:
- Blue
- Orange-white
- Green
- Speckled brown
- Orange-red
Taming
A Crab can be tamed by simply right-clicking on one with a Fish Net. When caught and released from the Fish Net, the naming screen will then appear and the Crab will be tamed. Like other mobs, Crabs can be led around with a Lead.
Tamed Crabs can not be bred or healed by 'feeding' them. The only way to heal them is with a splash potion of Healing.
