Taming an ocelot in Minecraft is an exciting challenge. You can make the shy animals your companions
Minecraft: Taming an ocelot – the preparations
Before an ocelot can be tamed in Minecraft, there is a lot to prepare.
- Ocelots are mainly found in jungle biomes, so you should start looking for one. To attract and tame an ocelot, you will need raw fish.
- Salmon or cod are best. These fish can be caught in rivers or the sea. Make sure you have enough fish, as taming them may take several attempts
- When you arrive in the jungle, be careful to move slowly, as ocelots are shy and flee quickly. Avoid loud noises or fast movements so as not to frighten the animal
- It is also helpful to create a safe environment by leveling the terrain and removing obstacles that could hinder the taming process. Once you have made these preparations, you can concentrate on taming the ocelot.
Minecraft: The taming process of ocelots
A careful approach is particularly important.
- Hold the raw fish in your hand and move slowly in its direction. If the ocelot notices you, it will stop and stare at you
- At this moment you should stand still and wait for it to come towards you. The ocelot will approach slowly as soon as it feels safe
- It is important that you remain calm and do not make any sudden movements, otherwise the ocelot will flee. When the ocelot is close enough, click on the right mouse button to give it the fish.
- Repeat this process until hearts appear above the ocelot. The hearts indicate that the taming process was successful.
- Once the ocelot has been tamed, it turns into a cat that follows you and stays close to you.
Minecraft: Behavior and benefits of tamed ocelots
Tamed ocelots that turn into cats have a special behavior and offer some useful advantages.
- Cats follow their owner, but move independently and often sit on beds or crates. They will teleport to you if you move too far away, which ensures they don’t get lost.
- A particular benefit of cats is their ability to scare off creepers. If creepers are near a cat, they will run away, which helps you protect your base from unexpected explosions.
- In addition, tame cats can leave gifts in the form of items such as feathers or threads that they have collected during the night. You can also make your cat sit by clicking on it with the right mouse button.
- This can be useful if you want her to stay close to you or avoid certain areas. Finally, domesticated cats have their own color variation, which is randomly selected during domestication and gives them a unique look.
