The Black and Grizzly Bear addon adds two types of hostile bears to Minecraft Bedrock, slightly increasing the challenge of the game. You will need to be more cautious when exploring forests. Bears attack medium-sized animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, wolves, and goats, and also fight each other.
Features
This addon introduces two distinct bear species — Black Bear and Grizzly Bear — each with unique stats, behaviors, and full systems of AI, domestication, and riding. They appear in forests and plains across three spawn density modes.
When killed, bears drop leather and beef, making them a useful resource for trading with villagers. Cubs alert nearby adults within a 41-block radius, adding danger for unprepared players.
Features include: tameable cubs (33% success rate), saddle and riding system, baby-to-adult growth cycle, foraging behavior (breaks leaves and grass), owner protection AI, health restore system with meat, and three spawn subpacks (default, high, rare).
