Can foxes jump fences in Minecraft?

Yes, foxes in Minecraft can jump over fences. They are able to jump up to 1.5 blocks high, which allows them to easily jump over a standard 1-block-high fence.

How to Contain a Fox:

If you want to keep a fox from escaping or wandering away, here are some ways to contain it:

  1. Use Higher Fences:

    • To prevent foxes from jumping out, you can use 2-block-high fences or walls that are at least 2 blocks tall. Foxes won't be able to jump over these.
  2. Create an Enclosed Area:

    • You can also create an enclosed area with walls or even trapdoors that are placed along the edges to keep the fox inside.
  3. Use a Lead:

    • If you want to keep your tamed fox with you, you can use a lead to attach the fox to a fence or post, preventing it from wandering off.

Conclusion:

Since foxes can jump over regular fences, you'll need to build a higher barrier or use a lead to keep them from escaping. This is especially important if you want to keep your foxes in a safe environment!
