What Do Animals Eat in Minecraft?

Last updated
Ever wondered what keeps the animals in Minecraft happy and healthy? Let’s dig into one of the most common questions players have: What do animals eat in Minecraft?
When roaming the vast landscapes of Minecraft, ensuring your farm animals are well-fed is a crucial part of the game. But, with so many types of animals, it can get confusing to remember what each one prefers to munch on. Fear not, as we’re here to clear up the confusion.
The Quick Answer to Your Animal Feeding Questions
Each animal in Minecraft has its favorite food. For instance, cows and sheep love wheat, while pigs prefer carrots, potatoes, or beetroots. Chickens are fans of seeds, such as wheat or pumpkin seeds, and wolves love bones. Cats, or should we say, ocelots turned domesticated cats, enjoy fish.
Feeding animals not only keeps them healthy but is also essential for breeding. Give two animals of the same species their favorite food, and they’ll enter “Love Mode,” resulting in a cute baby animal! Plus, while wolves turned into dogs will protect you, feeding them increases their health.
