Yes, that\u2019s right; today, we\u2019re going to show you how to tame a fox in Minecraft.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;4 steps to tame a fox in Minecraft&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Step 1: Prepare for your journey<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you set out on your expedition to tame a fox in Minecraft, you\u2019ll need a few items. First on the list is some fruit from the sweet berry bush. You\u2019ll also need a lead, which you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/minecraft.en.softonic.com\/articles\/minecraft-crafting-guide\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">craft<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> using one slime ball and four strings. Remember, spiders offer the strings while you can farm the ball from slime mobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/afox3_izy3mc.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Step 2: Find the fox<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Foxes usually spawn in giant tree taiga, normal taiga, and snowy taiga regions or biomes. If you find one in the snow, it\u2019ll be white instead of red. They usually travel in packs of between two to four, while most of them spawn as babies. Be careful when you do spot them, as they often run away if you get too close.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162685\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/afox2_zsv4kc.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Step 3: Sneak through the forest<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To prevent the sweet, adorable animal from sprinting away in fear, you\u2019ll need to sneak up like a ninja in the trees. Don\u2019t crawl into the sweet berry bushes; they&#8217;ll hurt you. The foxes don\u2019t have this problem and will often escape into the foliage to lose you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162684\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/afox1_kypuov.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Step 4: Tame the fox kit<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you\u2019ve snuck close enough, place the berries in an empty hand. The fox will cautiously approach you while you feed it, with hearts appearing. However, you can\u2019t tame it. You\u2019ll need to find another fox while the first one follows you and you feed that one, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Love will flow in the air as the two creatures reproduce and create a kit. The baby fox is instantly loyal to you but will still follow the parents. Here\u2019s your chance; grab that leash and attach it so that you can <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lead<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> it away. When you\u2019re far enough, the kit will follow you without fail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162686\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/afox4_vistn7.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What did the Fox say?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s easier to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/minecraft.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-tame-a-horse-in-minecraft\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tame a horse in Minecraft<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> than a fox, but the rewards are satisfying. You\u2019ll have a red or white kit following you around until it grows into an adult. It may even protect you at times.
