Feeling lonely on the lands of Minecraft? Maybe some companion would be a great idea? Here’s the good news: in this guide, we’ll show you how to tame cool furry friends with fluffy tails. However, let’s make it a bit extraordinary. You know ﹘ everyone can have a dog or a cat. But having a fox is the real deal, isn’t it? So, let’s get straight into it as we’ll see how to tame a fox in Minecraft.

To tame a fox in Minecraft, first, you need to know where to find it. Foxes in Minecraft spawn in groups of 2-4 in the forests, hills, mountains, and villages in the Taiga, Giant Tree Taiga, Snow Taiga biome. When it comes to the color of the mob, they can be either red or white, spawning accordingly in the appropriate biomes:

● Red Foxes ﹘ Taiga and Giant Tree Taiga,

● Arctic Foxes ﹘ Snow Taiga Biome.

A player should search for Minecraft foxes at night as they are nocturnal animals. Foxes in Minecraft have a 20% spawn chance (spawn egg or naturally), meaning that they aren’t as common as creatures like pigs or cows. 5% of foxes spawn as baby foxes. The Minecraft foxes located in areas with snow are a bit different from a typical red fox. As you can see below, the color of their fur is white.

Depending on the item chance, Minecraft foxes spawn with the following items in their mouth:

● Emerald,

● Rabbit Foot,

● Rabbit Hide,

● Egg,

● Wheat,

● Leather,

● Feather.

If a fox in Minecraft dies while having the totem of undying, the animal consumes it and revives instead of dropping the item.

Yes, you can. Unlike other guides, we’ll cover all the necessary things step by step. To tame a fox in Minecraft, you’ll need a few things, which are:

● 1 Stack of Cobblestone ﹘ players can obtain it from mining stone with a pickaxe.

• 1 Stack of Sweet Berries ﹘ Sweet berries are a food item that can be found on the Sweet Berry Bush in Taiga biomes. 

• 1 Lead ﹘ this thing can be dropped from Wandering Traders or crafted with 4 strings and a slimeball. 

As you get the necessary items to tame a fox in Minecraft, follow these steps: 

● Try to search for two foxes together or two foxes that are in their vicinity. If it’s a sleeping fox, then that’s even better.

● While approaching Minecraft foxes, remember to crouch/sneak. Otherwise, the fox will simply run away.

● Build a two-wall block around the Minecraft foxes or surround them with a fence. We don’t want the foxes to escape.

● As soon as you trap both foxes, connect the “cages” so that the fox shares the trap with a future spouse. They should have limited space between each other.

Now, it’s breeding time. To breed the Minecraft foxes, we will need the food items. Use Sweet Berry on each of the foxes. As you see the hearts above their heads, it means everything is going well. The appearing baby fox is going to be the one that you’ll tame. Unlike the adult foxes, the baby fox is not afraid.

Now, we have to wait till the baby fox becomes an adult. To quicken the process of baby foxes growing up, you may use sweet berry. Next, attach a lead to the offspring fox. Otherwise, it won’t follow you. Then, show the new friend the way to your base.

Foxes in Minecraft have similar behavior to another animal ﹘ a wolf. If foxes are fully tamed, they will defend the players. They will attack any other mob trying to hurt you.

What’s more, a fox in Minecraft can have its attack damage improved. It’s done by putting a sword in the mouth of a fox. Foxes can also hunt for example chickens, rabbits, salmon, cod, baby turtles, or tropical fish. However, keep in mind not to leave the foxes anywhere near the area where their natural predators occur (wild wolves and polar bears). They will try to hunt foxes down.

Thanks to the in-game Minecraft mechanics that animals of the same species can breed with each other, the player may earn partners in their adventure. One of the creatures that can be found in the wilds of Minecraft and then become your friend are foxes.

In order to make friends with a cool pet like a fox player has to find two wild foxes in the forests of taiga biomes. The items you'll need to hand to tame these mobs are lead, cobblestone, and sweet berries. As you find two animals close to one another,

trap them and use the sweet berries. Something you need to know is that the baby foxes can be tamed, but then you have to wait till the baby fox grows up. Otherwise, the fox won’t follow us but the adult foxes. Then, just use the lead on the fox and show this cute critter the way to your base.

Here you go. You’ve made a fox your friend! It may seem like nothing is as cute as a furry fox… Well, wait till it starts hunting chickens and other mobs for you.
