Mechanics

Two tamed parrots on the player’s shoulders.

Each animal can be tamed via different mechanics. Wolves can be tamed by giving the animal bones. Cats and parrots can be tamed by giving the animal its favorite food. Once tamed, these animals follow the player unless told to sit. Tamed wolves fight alongside their master. Tamed wolves and cats can be bred, and they stop hunting animals by themselves. Tamed parrots can ride on the player's shoulder and mimic nearby mob sounds.

Horses, donkeys, mules, llamas and trader llamas can be tamed by repeatedly mounting the animal until it stops bucking the player off. Feeding them their favorite foods makes taming them easier. Once tamed, these animals can be bred and given equipment. Tamed horses, donkeys and mules can be controlled while riding, but only if equipped with a saddle.

In Bedrock Edition, skeleton horses do not need a saddle to be controlled while riding. Skeleton horses can be tamed by the player if the skeleton rider is killed. Zombie horses normally cannot be tamed, but they can be spawned tamed using commands.

Trusting

Some mobs can never be tamed per se, but the player can still gain their trust. Trusting mobs stop fleeing from players, and they do not despawn.

A trusting fox holding an egg in its mouth.

A fox's trust actually can't be gained if the animal spawned naturally, but they can still be bred by the player. Fox kits bred this way trust players. A trusting fox defends the player against a number of mobs.

An ocelot's trust can be gained by feeding it raw cod or salmon.

Special items

These are the foods and other items that are helpful in taming animals or otherwise gaining their trust.
