How To Tame Foxes In Minecraft 8 Steps With Pictures

The Taiga biome is a colder counterpart to normal forests, sporting darker grass and large boulders made out of both normal and mossy cobblestone half-buried in the ground. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/6/67/Taiga-Village-with-Red-Foxes-%28Minecraft%29. png/460px-Taiga-Village-with-Red-Foxes-%28Minecraft%29. png”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/6/67/Taiga-Village-with-Red-Foxes-%28Minecraft%29. png/728px-Taiga-Village-with-Red-Foxes-%28Minecraft%29. png",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:288,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:455,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

\n</p></div>"} The Giant Tree Taiga biome is similar to the normal Taiga, except some of the trees have thicker 2x2 trunks. These generate alongside their normal 1x1 trunk counterparts. A number of grass blocks are also replaced by podzol and coarse dirt. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/b/bb/Red-Foxes-in-a-Giant-Taiga-at-Night-%28Minecraft%29. png/460px-Red-Foxes-in-a-Giant-Taiga-at-Night-%28Minecraft%29. png”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/b/bb/Red-Foxes-in-a-Giant-Taiga-at-Night-%28Minecraft%29. png/728px-Red-Foxes-in-a-Giant-Taiga-at-Night-%28Minecraft%29. png",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:288,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:455,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

\n</p></div>"} The Snowy Taiga biome is effectively a snow-covered and more hilly version of the normal Taiga; rivers here are often partially (or completely) frozen. Igloos can sometimes generate here. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/8/89/Arctic-Foxes-Napping-Under-a-Tree-in-the-Snowy-Taiga-%28Minecraft%29. png/460px-Arctic-Foxes-Napping-Under-a-Tree-in-the-Snowy-Taiga-%28Minecraft%29. png”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/8/89/Arctic-Foxes-Napping-Under-a-Tree-in-the-Snowy-Taiga-%28Minecraft%29. png/728px-Arctic-Foxes-Napping-Under-a-Tree-in-the-Snowy-Taiga-%28Minecraft%29. png",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:288,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:455,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Trees in this biome are scarce, and foxes don’t spawn here at all. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/0/0f/Snowy-Tundra-Village-%28Minecraft%29. png/460px-Snowy-Tundra-Village-%28Minecraft%29. png”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/0/0f/Snowy-Tundra-Village-%28Minecraft%29. png/728px-Snowy-Tundra-Village-%28Minecraft%29. png",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:288,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:455,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Punching sweet berry bushes won’t drop the berries on Java, although it does on Bedrock. Gather enough to be able to breed two foxes and grow a kit into an adult. Some bushes may have had their berries eaten by a fox. You can either wait for them to regrow or bonemeal the bush. Glow berries may also be used, however, they’re much harder to acquire since, outside of custom worlds (Java) or experimental gameplay (Bedrock), they can only generate inside minecart chests within abandoned mineshafts.

Unlike ocelots (untamable in updates 1. 14 and beyond), who’ll trust you after being fed a few fish, wild foxes, both the adults and the kits, will never trust you. Only foxes that you’ve bred yourself will trust you. If one or both of the foxes you find are kits (babies), simply feed them sweet berries to speed up their growth. Keep an eye out for the drops of chickens, rabbits, and/or fish on the ground or in the water, as foxes love hunting them and will pounce on them if nearby. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/3/33/Arctic-Fox-Pouncing-on-a-Chicken-%28Minecraft%29. png/460px-Arctic-Fox-Pouncing-on-a-Chicken-%28Minecraft%29. png”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/3/33/Arctic-Fox-Pouncing-on-a-Chicken-%28Minecraft%29. png/728px-Arctic-Fox-Pouncing-on-a-Chicken-%28Minecraft%29. png",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:288,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:455,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

Try not to move while luring them - otherwise, you’ll scare them away. Consider holding the berries in your offhand if you’re playing on Java Edition. That’ll make your job easier later on.

The parents have a slight cooldown after mating, during which time they can’t be fed. They can still be lured by holding berries near them though.

Leashes are also necessary to move the fox back to your base, as they won’t follow behind you on their own, even if they trust you.
