Foxes are a unique creature in Minecraft that can be tamed and then used as a pet.
Many different animals have been added to Minecraft over the years, and foxes are one of the most recent. These animals stand out from other Minecraft creatures because of their behavior: they sleep during the day and are active at night.
Foxes are also unique thanks to their high jumping ability to injure their enemies and their ability to pick up any dropped object and carry it in their mouths. Players can take advantage of these unique traits and tame one or more foxes as pets. However, taming them is a little more complicated than taming other animals in Minecraft.
How to tame a fox in Minecraft
The first step to taming a fox is finding one. To do this, you go into the habitat of the foxes, the taiga biomes, and their variations, giant tree taiga and snow taiga. Once there, you have to lure two wild foxes with the help of a sweet berry, which you can also find in the taiga.
Only young foxes can be tamed. However, there are a few obstacles that make attracting foxes more difficult than other animals in the game: They are very shy and will run away if you approach them. You should crouch down so as not to frighten them. Since two foxes are of course needed for breeding, i.e. fox offspring, ways have to be found to bring them together. One such option is to throw sweet berries or other food at their feet. The foxes then run to collect them, which the player can use to match two of them by walling them in with blocks. The baby fox can then be put on a leash and separated from its parents, which means that it trusts the player and no longer runs away.
Tame foxes are useful as allies in battle. They will attack any enemy animal that threatens the player. Their speed and impressive leaps make them reliable partners that set them apart from wolves. However, tamed foxes do not follow like other pets. This means taking the fox with you on a leash and then tying the leash to trees or other objects to keep the fox from running away. Or you can release them in areas where there are no known dangers, like lava pits or treacherous canyons. This way you can go about your work while the fox protects the player. Of course, this can only happen at night since foxes are nocturnal. The night has always been a dangerous part of Minecraft because of all the monsters, but taming foxes can help reduce this problem. Also, they instinctively hunt prey like rabbits and certain fish, so the player doesn’t have to do that.
There are a few important details fox owners should be aware of that will make their lives easier. Wolves are foxes’ natural predators and will attack if they come within range. Those who have a large wolf pack should consider housing their fox elsewhere so that a fight does not occur. Foxes themselves will even hunt chickens, jumping over fences in the process.
