How to tame animals in Minecraft

Feeding

To tame animals in Minecraft, the most important thing you need to do is feed them the right food. Feeding is very simple, you just need to hold the food in your hand, approach the animal and right-click. The animal will emerge a few hearts which means you have successfully fed.

With 'easy' animals like Chicken, Cow, Pig, Sheep, you just need to hold the right food in your hand and they will follow you without taming.

Feed two adult animals at the same time, when they are standing next to each other, they will begin to mate and give birth (the turtle will produce turtle eggs).

Here is a list of the foods each animal requires:

1. Pig, Rabbit: Carrot (Carrot)
2. Beef, Sheep, Beef Mushroom: Wheat (Wheat)
3. Chickens, Parrots: Seeds, any kind of seed is fine
4. Wolf: Bone (Bone)
5. Turtle: Seagrass
6. Panda: Bamboo (Bamboo)
7. Cat, Red Cat Ocelot: Fresh Fish (Raw Cod)
8. Horse, Donkey, Mure: Golden Apple (Golden Apple)
9. Camel: Bunch of straw (Hay Bale)
10. Dolphin: Fresh Fish (Raw Cod)
11. Fox: Sweet Berries
12. Iguana: Bucket of Tropical Fish

Conquer Wolves in Minecraft

Wolf is a warlike animal in Minecraft. Once tamed, the Wolf will help you fight other opponents. To tame a Wolf, you need to feed it bones. Usually, you will need to feed it a few times until a heart appears on its head. Tamed wolves also have a red collar on their neck.

You can right-click a Wolf to command it to Sit/Stand Up.

Cat subjugation

Taming a Cat is a bit more difficult, requiring you to be skillful. A Cat near you will help scare away Phantom and Creeper, you will no longer be afraid of sudden and deadly explosions.

First, you hold fresh fish in your hand. Then slowly approach a Cat, keeping enough distance for it to see you. The fish will lure it to you, you must not move at all. When the Cat reaches enough range, you right click to feed it until a heart emerges.

You can also command the Cat to sit/stand up like a Wolf.

Conquering Horses, Donkeys, Mules and Camels

To capture Horses, Donkeys, Mules and Camels is very simple, you just need to sit on it. At the first time, it will chase you down, keep sitting up until you see a heart flying, that is successfully tamed.

However, you cannot control the horse without a Saddle. When sitting on a horse, you press E to open its inventory, then drag the Saddle to the first slot. Let's start riding!

As for the Camel, you have no way of controlling it, so the best way is to use a Lead. Just drag one, the children behind will follow. That way you get a cool caravan.

Taming Parrots

A Parrot will be an interesting companion because of its ability to imitate other types of sounds. If you find a parrot in the jungle, you just need to feed it any Seed to be able to tame it.

An interesting point is that the Parrot will die if you feed it Cookies. This has to do with the fact that Parrots don't match some ingredients in cookies. Mojang has subtly added that detail to educate children at home.

Taming the Fox

Foxes are relatively difficult animals to tame, you cannot tame an adult Fox. So the way to do it is that you help the Fox spawn, then the new Fox will consider you its mother, it will follow you.

You need to prepare some Sweet Berries and a Lead. First, approach 2 foxes that are fast asleep or when they are standing close to each other.

Feed both of them Berries to start mating. When the baby fox is born, you use a leash to pull it away from its parents.

Go to an open area, away from any other animals so it can only look at you. At this point you give it a few more Sweets and it will start to treat you like its mother.
