A: In Lovely Craft v3.2+, yes. Earlier versions allowed any panda, but the server patched it.

If the panda is sitting (Lazy panda), it won’t trigger correctly. You need a playful or worried panda. Use a splash potion of swiftness to make it stand up. The Moment of Truth: Getting the Panda Top When the pistons fire, you will hear a unique "clunk" sound–that’s Lovely Craft’s custom capture sound. Do not break the trap yet.

| Mistake | Why It Fails | | :--- | :--- | | | Sticky pistons are required for the non-damaging retraction. | | Andesite block missing | The loot table only activates on polished andesite. | | Panda is killed | If the panda takes a half-heart of damage during the push, the game treats it as hostile = no top. | | Multi-pulse | If the pistons fire twice, the second push suffocates the panda. Use an observer clock. | | Wrong panda color | Only brown pandas work. Brown pandas are a 2% spawn. Be patient. | Advanced: Automating the Panda Top Farm Once you master the single trap, you can scale up. Build a water stream that pushes pandas onto a line of polished andesite blocks with piston arrays every 5 blocks. Use a brown panda breeder (feed them bamboo to make more brown pandas – yes, Lovely Craft allows brown pandas to inherit color with a 20% chance).

Transport the panda using a boat or lead to your trap location. Build the trap near your base, not in the jungle (hostile mobs will ruin the capture). Place a single block of Polished Andesite on the ground. This is the trigger block. According to Lovely Craft’s hidden metadata, only pistons interacting with a panda on this block count for the Panda Top drop.

Check the panda’s inventory (right-click with an empty hand if the mod allows, or use a mod like WAILA). If successful, the panda will drop one item . This is the Panda Top .
