Rustlers & Scarecrows

A leaf bug that jumps out of broken leaves, steals from you and runs. Part of the Rustlers data pack.

Sometimes jumps out of leaves broken by hand, once a player has chopped fifty logs or played for forty minutes. It bites, steals a whole stack and runs for the edge of the island. One hit stops it and drops what it took. Shears never wake one, and none appear near a scarecrow.
Grab and go: a Rustler takes a diamond and leaps off the island.
