Taming

  • Wolves: feed bones until hearts appear.
  • Cats: hold raw cod or salmon, move slowly and feed them.
  • Horses, donkeys and llamas: keep riding them until hearts appear.
  • Parrots: feed any seeds. Never feed them cookies, which kill them.
  • Foxes: breed two wild foxes. The baby trusts you.
Fenced animal pens in Minecraft
Keep each type of animal in its own pen so you do not feed the wrong one.
