Foxes are nocturnal passive mobs that spawn in taiga and snowy taiga biomes.

Spawning

Foxes will spawn in taiga and snowy taiga biomes and sometimes in taiga villages. They will spawn more commonly at night time, sleeping in the forests.

Behavior

Foxes are nocturnal, sleeping in the morning and being active at night. They move quickly, about the same speed as ocelots, and will run away from any nearby players. If any food item is on the ground near a fox, it will travel to it and pick it up. This behavior does not seem limited to food and animal products, as foxes have been sighted picking up and carrying logs, dirt, TNT, and emeralds.

When sweet berries are used on two foxes, the foxes will breed, producing a baby fox. The baby fox will "trust" the player, and never run away from them.

Foxes will attack chickens and rabbits, jumping over fences and walls when necessary. Wolves are aggressive towards foxes.
