In the world of Minecraft, animals are really important for different reasons, like getting stuff from them or making them your pets.
Taming Cats in Minecraft
Cats in Minecraft can be really tricky. They get scared easily and might run away if you approach too quickly. If you do this right, though, you’ll soon have a new furry friend:
- First, find a cat, usually in villages. Approach it very carefully, crouching as you go. Quick moves will scare it away.
- Hold raw cod or salmon in your hand while you move slowly towards the cat to keep it calm.
- When you’re close, feed the fish to the cat. This will tame it, and it’ll start following you.
- If you want them to breed, feed them more fish when near another tamed cat.
Getting near enough to feed the cat is the hardest part, but if you’re patient and have fish ready, it should work out fine.
Taming Foxes in Minecraft
To tame a fox, you’ll need to breed a baby one first. Here’s how you do it:
- Locate two wild adult foxes, usually in the Taiga biome, and feed them sweet or glow berries.
- The berries put them in love mode, and they will produce a baby fox, which will be your tamed pet.
- The baby fox sticks with you as it grows, although it might follow other foxes.
- Use a lead to keep the baby fox close until it’s fully grown.
Once the baby fox matures, it becomes a loyal companion for defense or breeding more foxes.
Taming Horses in Minecraft
Here’s a quick recap on taming horses:
- Mount a wild horse several times until it stops bucking you off and hearts appear, signaling it’s tamed.
- To breed, feed two tamed horses a Golden Apple or Carrot, and they’ll produce a foal.
- Using a saddle makes riding a tamed horse much easier.
Sometimes, people think taming animals in Minecraft is like solving a fun puzzle.
Breeding Axolotls in Minecraft
Axolotls are unique creatures found in underwater caves. You can’t tame them traditionally, but you can breed them:
- Bring two adult Axolotls together with a bucket of tropical fish.
- Feed them the fish to initiate love mode, resulting in a baby Axolotl.
- Wait 5-7 minutes before breeding again, depending on your game version.
- Baby Axolotls mature in 20 minutes, but more fish can speed this up.
Axolotls are handy for fighting mobs, but remember they need water to survive.
Breeding Villagers in Minecraft
Although not animals, villagers can also be bred to expand your village:
- Find two villagers and ensure three beds are nearby.
- Place them in a building with the beds, ensuring they are alone.
- Feed them any food, and they’ll produce a baby villager.
- Repeat as needed, but remember each new villager needs a bed.
Villagers are easy to breed if you have enough beds and food available.
Breeding Frogs in Minecraft
Frogs, mostly found in swamps, have a simple breeding process:
- Hold a slimeball to attract frogs within six blocks.
- Lead two frogs to you, then feed them slimeballs to start love mode.
- One frog will become pregnant and seek a water source to lay eggs.
- Eggs hatch into tadpoles, which later grow into frogs.
Frog breeding takes a little time, but it’s straightforward in swamp areas.
Breeding Turtles in Minecraft
Breeding turtles can be quite time-consuming. Here’s what you do:
- Find turtles on a beach during the day, often near the coast.
- Feed them seagrass to enter love mode.
- One turtle will carry eggs and eventually return to its spawn point.
- It seeks sand to lay 1-4 eggs, which hatch after 4-5 in-game days.
Turtle breeding takes patience but results in a few baby turtles.
Taming Parrots in Minecraft
Parrots are rare but easy to tame once found:
- Look for parrots in jungle biomes and feed them seeds (wheat, melon, pumpkin, beetroot, torchflower).
- There’s a 1/10 chance of taming them with each seed.
- Hearts indicate successful taming, and the parrot will follow you.
Tamed parrots can perch on your shoulder and accompany you around.
Breeding Pandas in Minecraft
Pandas, exclusive to jungle biomes, require special conditions for breeding:
- Feed two pandas bamboo and ensure a bamboo block is nearby.
- If the bamboo conditions are met, the pandas will breed a cub.
Pandas have an extra step in breeding, but the result is worth it.
Breeding Bees in Minecraft
Bees are easy to breed and provide useful honey:
- Hold a flower to attract bees, then feed them flowers to breed.
- Wait five minutes between breeding sessions.
- Baby bees mature in 20 minutes.
Having bees around ensures a steady honey supply.
Breeding Sheep in Minecraft
Sheep are common and useful for wool production:
- Find two sheep and bring them together.
- Feed them wheat to produce a lamb.
- Sheep can’t breed for five minutes afterward.
- Colors of offspring vary by game edition and parent colors.
Breeding sheep is great for gathering wool and creating colorful flocks.
Breeding Pigs in Minecraft
Pigs are easy to find and breed:
- Attract pigs with a carrot, potato, or beetroot.
- Feed them to initiate love mode and produce a piglet.
- Pigs need five minutes before breeding again.
- Piglets mature in 20 minutes.
That’s a wrap on taming and breeding in Minecraft. More animals will be added later!
