How to Tame an Ocelot in Minecraft
Minecraft is a game that allows players to explore an endless world, tame animals, and build structures. One of the animals that players can tame is the ocelot. Ocelots are cute, wild felines that roam the jungles of Minecraft. In this article, we will discuss how to tame an ocelot in Minecraft.
Step 1: Location
Ocelots can only be found in the jungle biome. They are highly territorial, so it’s essential to search for them in dense jungle areas. The players should also look out for nearby mobs, such as zombies and creepers, as they can spook the ocelots, and they may run off.
Step 2: Crouch
Once the ocelot is spotted, the players should crouch (hold down the shift key). Crouching is important; it helps players move around more quietly, preventing the ocelot from hearing them and running away.
Step 3: Fish!
To tame an ocelot, players will need to feed them raw fish. Players should hold the fish in their hand, and the ocelot will begin to approach.
Step 4: Patience
Players must be patient when taming an ocelot. If they make any aggressive moves, such as lunging or trying to grab the ocelot, the ocelot will run away. Once the ocelot is close enough, the players can feed them the raw fish by right-clicking.
Step 5: Bonding Time
After feeding the ocelot, players should wait for them to come closer and let them sniff around. It’s best to wait for the ocelot to make a move, such as rubbing against the player’s leg or sitting down before attempting to pet them. Players can pet the ocelot by right-clicking on them.
Step 6: Choosing a Name
Once the ocelot has been tamed, they will turn into a cat. Players can give their cat a name by using a name tag or renaming them with an anvil. Named cats will follow their owners everywhere they go and help protect them from mobs.
Conclusion
Taming an ocelot can be a challenging but rewarding experience. Following these steps will allow players to have their feline companion in no time. Having a cat by the player’s side can help them fend off mobs and keep them company on long expeditions. So, happy taming and enjoy exploring the world with your new furry friend!
