How to make foxes trust you in Minecraft?

In Minecraft, you can make foxes trust you by taming them. While they can be difficult to tame compared to other animals, such as wolves, it’s still possible with a bit of patience and the right approach.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make foxes trust you in Minecraft:

Step-by-Step Guide to Tame a Fox

1. Find Foxes

• Foxes spawn naturally in Taiga, Snowy Taiga, or Giant Tree Taiga biomes, usually in groups of two. The best way to locate them is to explore these cold, forested biomes.

2. Locate Baby Foxes (Optional)

• Foxes are often found with their babies, which are important for the taming process.
• To tame a fox, you must first tame two adult foxes, and they will breed to create a baby fox. The baby fox is easier to tame.

3. Collect Sweet Berries

• Foxes are tamed using sweet berries, which you can gather from sweet berry bushes.
• Sweet berry bushes can be found in Taiga biomes. Harvest the berries carefully, as walking on the bushes will deal damage to you.

4. Feed the Foxes

• To tame a fox, you need to feed it sweet berries. Right-click (or press the action button on Bedrock) on the fox while holding the sweet berries.
• Foxes will not immediately trust you after being fed once. It will take several feeds (up to three times) before the fox becomes tame and starts following you.

5. Wait for the Fox to Trust You

• After feeding a fox several sweet berries, it will become tame. You will see hearts appear above its head when it becomes loyal.
• Tamed foxes will now follow you around, but they may still be a bit skittish and run away if you move too quickly towards them.

6. Tame Two Foxes to Breed Them (Optional)

• If you want to create a baby fox (which can be more useful or easier to control), you can tame two foxes and then feed each of them sweet berries to make them breed.
• A baby fox is easier to tame, as it will naturally follow you once it's born.

Tips for Taming Foxes

• Be Patient: Foxes are skittish by nature and will run away if you approach too quickly. Move slowly and carefully to avoid scaring them off.

• Feed Them While Stationary: To prevent them from running away while you try to tame them, make sure to stand still and feed them slowly.

• Foxes May Drop Items: Foxes have a quirky behavior of picking up items and running off with them. Make sure they don’t run away with your sweet berries or any other valuable items you have in your inventory.

Conclusion

Taming a fox in Minecraft requires a little patience and careful movement. By feeding them sweet berries multiple times, you’ll eventually make them trust you and they’ll follow you around. Once tamed, they can be a fun companion to have, especially if you breed them to get adorable baby foxes!
