What is how to tame a fox in minecraft?

Taming a fox in Minecraft is a bit different than taming other animals like wolves or cats. You cannot directly tame an adult fox. Instead, you need to breed two foxes to get a baby fox and then gain its trust. Here's how:

  1. Find Foxes: Foxes spawn in taiga, snowy taiga, and grove biomes. Taiga foxes are orange, while snowy taiga foxes are white.

  2. Breeding Foxes: You need two foxes to breed. The important aspect is you need to find a way to isolate two adult foxes. You can surround them with walls. Foxes are nocturnal and sleep during the day, making them easier to approach then.

    • Food: Foxes need to be fed sweet berries.
    • Breeding: Feed both foxes sweet berries. If they are near each other and can breed, red hearts will appear, and a baby fox will spawn.
  3. Gaining the Baby Fox's Trust: The key to "taming" a fox is to earn the trust of a baby fox.

    • Separate the Baby: Quickly separate the baby fox from its parents. If the parents are not tamed they will run from you and you do not want the baby fox to do the same.
    • Stay Close: Remain near the baby fox. The more time you spend around it, the more it will get used to your presence. Do not make any sudden movements.
    • Pick It Up: Repeatedly picking up the baby fox is the best way to gain the trust of the fox. This may require you to pen it in.
    • Trust Indication: Over time, the baby fox will start following you (within a certain range) and will no longer run away from you, indicating that you have earned its trust. It is now considered "tamed". A tamed fox will not attack you.
  4. Important Considerations:

    • Foxes and Chickens: Even tamed foxes will still hunt chickens if given the opportunity.
    • Loyalty: A tamed fox will follow you and can be leashed like other tamable mobs.
    • Item Collection: Foxes can still pick up items, including swords or other weapons, even after they are tamed. Be cautious if they pick up something dangerous.
