2. Attack and Kill the Rabbit

Once you find a rabbit, you need to attack it. When you attack the rabbit, it will turn pink as it takes damage.

Continue to chase and attack the rabbit.

TIP: When a rabbit is trying to escape your attack, it can hop right over your fences!

Once you have killed the rabbit, it may drop different items each time such as raw rabbit, rabbit's foot, or rabbit hide. There isn't a 100% chance that the rabbit will drop a rabbit's foot when it dies. If it doesn't drop one, find another rabbit and try again.

In this example, when the rabbit died it dropped a rabbit's foot.

TIP: A rabbit's foot is a very rare drop. You can increase your chances of getting a rabbit's foot by enchanting your sword with Looting III. Then kill the rabbit with the enchanted sword.

3. Pick up the Rabbit's Foot

Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear.
