Can foxes jump over two fences in Minecraft?

Yes, in Minecraft, foxes can jump over fences. However, the behavior of foxes when it comes to jumping over fences differs slightly from other mobs.

Can Foxes Jump Over Two Fences?

Foxes in Minecraft can jump over two fences (or any two-block high obstacle). This is because they have a jump height of 1.5 blocks, which allows them to clear a fence with a height of 1 block.

How to Contain Foxes

Since foxes can jump over a 2-block high fence, you’ll need to make sure your enclosure has an adequate barrier to keep them contained. Here are a few ways to keep a fox from escaping:

  1. Use a 3-block-high Barrier: To prevent a fox from escaping, make sure the fence or wall is at least 3 blocks high. This will prevent the fox from jumping out.

  2. Leads: If you want to keep a fox in place without worrying about jumping, you can use a lead to tie it to a fence or post. This will stop the fox from wandering away.

  3. Walls or Solid Blocks: Instead of fences, you could use solid blocks such as stone or wood to create a higher and more secure enclosure. Foxes can’t jump over solid blocks that are more than 1.5 blocks high.


Conclusion

Foxes can jump over two fences, so to prevent them from escaping, you should either use a 3-block high barrier or tie them with a lead. This will ensure your fox stays safe and secure within your enclosures in Minecraft.
