How to Breed Ocelots in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can get those sneaky little ocelots to cozy up and make baby ocelots in Minecraft? Well, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what we’re going to dive into today.
So, how do you breed ocelots in Minecraft? Let’s find out and get those ocelots multiplying!
Quick Answer: You Can’t Breed Ocelots
Yep, you read that right. In the vast and creative world of Minecraft, even though you can tame ocelots by feeding them fish, you actually can’t breed them. This might come as a surprise since breeding animals is a big part of the game.
But don’t worry! There’s still a lot of fun to be had with these feline friends. While you can’t breed ocelots, you can tame them to make them less skittish around you. Plus, they do a great job keeping those pesky creepers away.
Why You Can’t Breed Ocelots and What To Do Instead
Minecraft’s game mechanics focus on realism in some aspects, and in the real world, wild animals, like ocelots, typically don’t breed in captivity. That might be the reason behind this choice in the game. Instead, you can focus on finding and taming these elusive cats. Remember, a tamed ocelot can’t be bred, but it can become your companion in your Minecraft adventures.
While exploring jungles in search of ocelots to tame, make sure you have enough raw fish. Ocelots love fish, and it’s the key to gaining their trust. Once tamed, they transform into cats that follow you and scare away creepers.
