Peach Dudes

If there's one thing they make well in Canada, it's peaches. During the summertime in the Niagara region, lots of peach groves all over the countryside start producing the ripest, juiciest peaches you'll ever find. But things are different in Minecraftia. There are peaches that grow from trees just about anywhere, but there's just one problem - Those peaches are alive, and not too keen on being eaten! In fact, catching them can be quite a difficult task! You want to learn how to catch a delicious Minecraftian peach for yourself? Well, just keep reading this thread and you'll be slurping up a delicious Peach Sundae in no time!

Minecraftian peaches, or "Peach Dudes", grow in just about any tree. Regardless of the type, if the block is a leaf block, then you can find a peach growing under there. They are a bit rare, so you may have to search for a while before you find one. Once you do find one, you'll notice that it hangs silently from the leaves, seemingly lifeless. Looks just like a regular peach, right? Well, go ahead and try to take it!

Told you they weren't regular peaches! When you try to take a Peach Dude from its home, he'll scream in terror and run as fast as he possibly can away from you. Don't just stand there, chase after it! He's small, speedy, and makes a "boing" noise as he hops away from you. If you're not fast enough, he'll escape from your clutches and find another tree to hang off of, restoring all of his health.

Once you catch up to the Peach Dude or manage to corner him, don't show any mercy! He may have a cute face, but behind that is nothing but pure deliciousness! He'll use any means possible to escape, so beat him down with whatever weapons you have until he surrenders and turns into an item resource:

Congratulations, you've just caught your first Minecraftian Peach! Just like a regular food item, you can right-click it to heal 1.5 hearts. It's best to eat it inside though, because there is a 50% chance he will escape from your hand and run away again! But why would you want to eat a peach just like that? That would be a waste, because there's a way you can make it much more delicious! Using three peaches, a milk bucket and a handful of sugar, you can craft the most delicious summer treat you can imagine - a Peach Sundae!

Though it takes a lot of effort to create, a peach sundae heals a full 10 hearts. It's also low in fat, and great for parties! So now that you know everything you need to know about Peach Dudes, make sure to invite your friends over for a few peach sundaes, and tell 'em all about the time you caught your first peach. But make sure to bring plenty of ear plugs and sunscreen - chances are you're going to be spending most of your days out in the blazing sun trying to chase them down. And they really, REALLY know how to scream!
