Fox Companion
by Rudy_Fox
Fox Companion lets players tame foxes on Forge for 1.20.1, and each tamed fox can follow and fight alongside its owner.
What it does
Foxes can be tamed in the world, and a tamed fox follows its owner and attacks enemies nearby. Once tamed, a fox's maximum health rises to 2.5 times its base value, so it lasts longer in fights. Tamed foxes eat berries to stay fed, which gives the animal a use beyond decoration.
The mod adds several types of foxes, so a player can pick the companion that suits the way they play. Some features are still listed as coming soon by the author, and the current build covers taming, following and combat. The mod is a single Forge build for Minecraft 1.20.1 and runs on the client and the server, so both need it installed.
Fox Companion is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its only published file is the 1.0.0 build for 1.20.1, dated 2026-03-30, which is also the first and last update date on the catalog page.

Higher fox health
