3 days ago · Foxes do not flee if the player approaches while sneaking until the player gets on an adjacent block. If the sky light at the fox's position becomes 15 or above, either due to a block above being destroyed or the fox being moved, the fox wakes up. Foxes can drop and pick up items in their sleep. Trusting foxes can fall asleep even if attached ...
Sep 5, 2020 · How to Find Foxes. Foxes can be difficult to find in Minecraft, as they only spawn in some locations. Start looking in Taiga, Giant Tree Taiga and Snowy Taiga Biomes, as these are where they spawn. Currently, Foxes spawn in very small packs which usually have anywhere between 2 to 4 Foxes. Only 5% of all spawns will be babies.

Questions abound after foxes officially release across the entirety of Minecraft. We've got the answers.
Joining the prestigious ranks of tamable mobs with wolves, ocelots, and cats, foxes seek to take the crown for most adorable Minecraft animal. And they may very well succeed. Foxes are a passive mob with some unique behaviors that make them an exciting addition to the game's bewilderingly expansive collection of wildlife.
Depending on your luck, foxes may be a tad challenging to track down in-game. They can only be found in taiga biomes (cold forests populated by spruce trees), and they won't be as common as mobs like pigs or cows. However, foxes do typically spawn in groups of 3-4, which offsets their rarity.
There are two different kinds of foxes that can be found in the game. In taiga biomes devoid of snow and ice, the foxes that spawn there will be red and white. However, foxes that spawn in taiga biomes that do have an abundance of snow will generate with white and grey fur, much like arctic foxes. This, of course, makes them the best thing in Minecraft.
If you have a desire to maximize your chances of finding a fox in-game, they also enjoy hanging out around villages. Minecraft foxes are just as mischievous as their real-life counterparts, leading to some amusing fuzzy capers when nighttime comes around.
It seems now that every subsequent mob Mojang adds to Minecraft has to be more lively and personal than any other added before it. With all the many behaviors foxes exhibit, and the bees that will be added later on, Mojang is making cows, pigs and chickens dreadfully dull. That said, there's a lot to cover, so let's jump into it.
•Foxes are nocturnal. The most noticeable fox-behavior will be their sleeping schedule. Foxes actively avoid being awake during the day, seeking out shady spots to curl up until night falls. If you disturb a sleeping fox, or if the lighting above it changes, the fox will search for another place to snatch some Z's.
•Foxes prefer to be in groups. Finding a solo fox isn't impossible, but they tend to hang around other foxes, even sleeping next to each other at times.
•Foxes are carnivores. Foxes love munching on chickens, rabbits, most of the fish in the game, and even baby turtles if they're on land. Red foxes will primarily go after land critters, while arctic foxes prefer a quick swim with their meal.
•Foxes target villages. Whenever night arrives, foxes become far more active. Foxes will target villages specifically to steal items from villagers and eat their chickens.
•Foxes will carry items around. Interestingly, foxes will pick up and carry various items around in their mouths. They can pick up anything that the player can. If a fox is killed while it is holding an item, it will drop the item immediately for the player to pick up. Then again, why would you ever kill one?
Now that you know more about foxes, it's more important than ever to learn how to become friends with them. As mentioned before, foxes are tamable as well as breedable, so you're able to have your own pack of them. That way, they can sleep all day and ignore you. Of course, foxes just had to go and be different from other mobs, so you can't just tame a couple then start breeding them. It actually happens in the reverse order.
•Procure some sweet berries and a lead. The sweet berries can be harvested off of bushes found in the same biomes foxes are located in. The lead you can either create yourself or nab from a villager/trader.
•Find a group of foxes. One fox won't do, which is why it's fortunate that they usually spawn in groups. You can also try searching at night for a higher chance of finding them if you're willing to brave the scary mobs.
•Approach the group quietly. You must sneak when approaching any wild fox, as it'll immediately flee if you don't.
•Feed two of the foxes sweet berries. Take your pick and feed each fox one sweet berry. Much like other mobs, it'll start spewing a load of hearts to indicate it's ready to make some babies.
•Once the foxes have made a baby, immediately attach a lead to it. The adult foxes are not tamable in the wild, but any babies that you help create will be born trusting you. However, baby foxes are still prone to following any nearby adult foxes, so attaching a lead is how you prevent that from happening.
That's all you need to know about the new foxes in Minecraft! If you play on the Java Edition, you've probably had these guys for a few months now, but for everyone playing on the Bedrock Edition, there's yet another new thing to go out and find. I, for one, fully intend to fill my entire house with nothing but foxes.

Mar 19, 2021 · How to Tame Foxes. Foxes can’t be tamed in the sense like Horses and Wolves can, instead they have a mechanic called Trust. Currently, the only way to have a Fox trust you is for it to be bred by the player. This involves causing 2 adult foxes to breed, and the baby they produce will trust you and not run away on sight.
Its natural diet is largely made up of small mammals like mice, rats, rabbits, and birds, but they also eat insects, earthworms, fruit, berries, eggs and carrion. In urban areas, foxes have adapted to scavenge for food, feeding on household scraps, garbage, discarded takeaways, compost heaps and pet food.
Foxes are extremely possessive of their food and, even at an early age, will defend their catches from other (even more dominant) animals. Food may not, however, be eaten all at once and some may be buried for later retrieval – this process, practiced by many animals, is called caching (pronounced “cash-ing”) and is an inherent behaviour ...

Sep 22, 2022 · Adding to the cuteness factor, foxes are naturally curious and will quite often pick up items they find lying on the ground. There are two ways to get the item back – the first way is to kill the fox. Sad face. But the much kinder way is to give it something else it likes to eat, like a sweet berry.
