Fox Tame / Tameable Fox
by ENCELL
Fox Tame lets players tame wild foxes, much as wolves and cats can be tamed in vanilla, through the Fox Tame mod for Fabric.
What it does
Taming works by feeding a wild fox sweet berries, and each attempt carries the same chance of success as taming a cat. Once a fox is tamed, right-clicking it with an empty hand toggles whether it sits. A sitting fox stays where it is and does not wander off, though it still reacts to nearby prey. A standing fox follows its owner around.
If a tamed fox falls too far behind, for example after falling off a cliff or after its owner has taken a boat, it teleports back to its owner's side instead of getting lost. Once a fox is tamed, the flight response toward players that wild foxes show is dropped, so it stops fleeing from them and only runs for a brief spell. The tamed state, its owner and whether it is sitting are saved with the world, so a fox keeps them across sessions.
The mod is built for Fabric and needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, and the latest is 1.0.1 from 2026-07-09. The code is not open source, and it is distributed under All rights reserved, with public links to the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Taming with sweet berries
Wild foxes can be tamed by feeding them sweet berries, with the same odds as taming a cat.
Sit and stand toggle
Right-clicking a tamed fox with an empty hand switches it between sitting and standing.
Following and teleporting
A standing fox follows its owner, and a fox left far behind teleports back to the owner's side.
Persistent tamed state
The owner and sitting status of each tamed fox are saved, so they persist across sessions.
