Minecraft Bedrock Pet Guide

Cats

Cats are passive mobs that spawn naturally in villages and swamp huts, making them easy to find in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile. They are incredibly useful for keeping creepers and phantoms away, as both mobs actively avoid them. Having a cat around your base can prevent surprise creeper explosions and protect you from phantom attacks at night. This makes them a great companion for survival mode, especially for players who often explore at night.

To tame a cat, players need raw cod or raw salmon, which can be obtained through fishing or killing fish. Cats are skittish and will run away if approached too quickly, so crouching while feeding them is necessary. Once tamed, hearts will appear, and the cat will wear a red collar that can be dyed. Tamed cats follow their owner unless commanded to sit and will sometimes bring gifts, such as feathers or rabbit hides, when the player wakes up from sleeping.

Breeding cats requires two tamed ones and raw cod or raw salmon to activate love mode. The kitten’s fur color will match one of its parents, and it will already be tamed when born. Baby cats grow into adults in about twenty minutes, but feeding them more fish speeds up the process. With eleven different variants available, players can collect multiple cats and choose their favorites to accompany them on their adventures.

Wolves

Wolves, commonly called dogs once tamed, are loyal companions found in forest and taiga biomes, including snowy taigas. They follow their owner and will attack most hostile mobs, making them great for protection. However, they do not attack creepers, so players should still be cautious. Wolves can also help fend off skeletons, zombies, and spiders, making them useful in survival mode.

To tame a wolf, players need bones, which can be obtained by defeating skeletons. Wolves may take several bones before being tamed, and once successful, hearts will appear, and they will wear a red collar that can be dyed. Tamed wolves will follow their owner but can be commanded to sit if needed. They also teleport to their owner if they get too far away, preventing them from getting lost.

Wolves do not require food to survive, but they can be healed by feeding them any type of meat, including rotten flesh. Players can now equip their wolves with wolf armor, made from armadillo scutes, to give them extra protection. Wolves can be bred by feeding two tamed ones any meat except fish, producing a puppy that is already tamed. With nine unique wolf breeds spawning in different biomes, players can now collect and raise different types of dogs.

Horses, Donkeys, and Mules

Horses, donkeys, and mules are some of the most useful passive mobs in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile, offering both transportation and storage benefits. Horses are the fastest land animals in the game, making them ideal for traveling long distances. Donkeys and mules are slightly slower but can carry chests, allowing players to transport extra items on long journeys. Unlike other pets, these animals do not follow you automatically, so you must either ride them or use a lead to bring them along. Once tamed, they do not despawn, making them reliable companions for exploring vast landscapes.

To find a horse, search for them in plains and savanna biomes, where they spawn in small groups. Donkeys are found in similar areas, including meadows. Mules, however, do not spawn naturally and must be bred by pairing a tamed horse and donkey. Taming any of these animals requires repeatedly mounting them until they stop bucking you off and hearts appear. Feeding them sugar, wheat, apples, golden apples, enchanted golden apples, or golden carrots increases the chances of quicker taming. Unlike wolves and cats, they do not require food for survival, but feeding them heals their health and can speed up their growth if they are young.

Once tamed, you can ride horses, donkeys, and mules, but only horses can wear armor for extra protection. A saddle is required to control their movement, and it must be placed in the saddle slot of their inventory. Horses come in different speeds and jump heights, so some may be faster or stronger than others. Donkeys and mules have the unique ability to carry chests, allowing players to expand their storage. While donkeys and mules may be slower than horses, their ability to transport extra resources makes them valuable for long expeditions or mining trips where inventory space is limited.

Breeding horses and donkeys is possible using golden apples or golden carrots, but mules cannot breed further once created. Baby horses and donkeys inherit traits from their parents, so breeding fast horses together increases the chances of getting an even faster offspring. Baby equines take about twenty minutes to grow into adults, though feeding them speeds up the process. With their speed, utility, and ability to traverse large biomes efficiently, horses, donkeys, and mules remain some of the most valuable companions in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile.

Llamas

Llamas are valuable pack animals in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile, useful for transporting extra storage while exploring. Unlike horses, they cannot be ridden, but they can carry chests and will follow each other in a caravan when led with a lead. This makes them perfect for long journeys, especially when moving large amounts of items. They spawn naturally in savanna and windswept biomes in herds and come in four colors: white, cream, brown, and gray. While they are neutral mobs, they will spit at players or mobs if provoked, dealing minor damage.

Taming a llama requires repeatedly mounting it until it stops bucking you off, at which point hearts will appear. Since they cannot wear saddles, players must use leads to move them. Leads can be crafted using string and slimeballs or obtained by defeating wandering traders, who always drop two. Once tamed, llamas can be equipped with chests for storage, with the number of slots depending on their strength. They can also be decorated with carpets, each color giving them a unique look. While llamas don’t require food to survive, they can be healed with wheat or hay bales if they take damage.

Breeding llamas requires two tamed adults and at least one hay bale. Feeding hay bales to both will trigger love mode, producing a baby llama that inherits a random strength level from its parents, determining how much storage it can carry. Baby llamas take about twenty minutes to mature, but feeding them wheat speeds up the process. Since llamas don’t follow players like wolves or cats, keeping them on leads or in an enclosed area is necessary to prevent them from wandering. Their ability to carry large amounts of items makes them a great choice for mobile storage on long adventures.re a great alternative to shulker boxes for players needing extra storage on long adventures.

Parrots

Parrots are rare and colorful companions found in jungle and bamboo jungle biomes in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile. Their bright feathers make them stand out, but they can be tricky to find due to dense jungle terrain. Taming a parrot requires feeding it any type of seed, such as wheat, pumpkin, melon, or beetroot seeds, until hearts appear. Once tamed, parrots will follow you and can perch on your shoulder if you walk into them, making them a fun and unique pet to have on your adventures.

One of the most useful abilities of parrots is their ability to mimic the sounds of nearby hostile mobs, which can serve as an early warning system. If a creeper, zombie, or skeleton is nearby, the parrot will imitate their noises, helping you stay alert in dangerous areas. However, parrots are fragile and can take fall damage if they accidentally fly too high. They do not require food to survive but should be kept away from hazards like fire and water. Unlike other tameable mobs, parrots cannot be bred, so the only way to get more is by finding and taming them in the wild.

Parrots come in five different color variants: red, blue, green, cyan, and gray, adding variety to your collection. While they do not offer protection in battle, their ability to warn you of dangers makes them valuable for survival. One of their most entertaining features is their love for music, as tamed parrots will dance when a jukebox is playing nearby. However, players must be careful never to feed them cookies, as this will poison and instantly kill them. Whether for their unique looks, their warning abilities, or their dancing skills, parrots are a great addition to any Minecraft world.

Trader Llamas

Trader Llamas are special llamas that spawn alongside Wandering Traders in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile. Unlike regular llamas, they do not naturally spawn in the wild and only appear when a Wandering Trader is present. They function similarly to normal llamas but have a unique appearance with decorative patterns on their fur. If the trader is killed or despawns, the llamas will remain, giving players a chance to tame them.

To tame a Trader Llama, players must repeatedly mount it until hearts appear, signaling that it has accepted them. Unlike horses, llamas cannot be controlled with a saddle and instead require a lead to be guided. Once tamed, they can be equipped with a chest to carry items, making them useful for transporting goods over long distances. They can also be decorated with carpets, which change their appearance depending on the color used.

Breeding Trader Llamas is not possible, as they function differently from regular llamas. However, if a player wants a caravan of llamas, they can attach a lead to one, and nearby llamas will follow in a chain. This makes them helpful for carrying multiple storage chests while exploring. Since they are only found with Wandering Traders, players should take the opportunity to tame them when they appear.

Allays

Allays are passive, flying mobs found in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile, typically confined in cages near Pillager Outposts or within Woodland Mansions. To gain an allay’s trust, offer it any item; once it accepts, it will follow you and seek out matching items to deliver. If you retrieve the item from the allay, it will cease following you.

To duplicate an allay, place a jukebox nearby and play a music disc, prompting the allay to dance. While it’s dancing, give the allay an amethyst shard, causing it to duplicate into two allays. After duplication, both allays have a cooldown period before they can duplicate again.

Axolotls

Axolotls are aquatic passive mobs found in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile, primarily spawning underwater in Lush Cave biomes. They typically appear in areas with clay blocks less than five blocks below the spawning space. To befriend an axolotl, you can carry it in a water bucket, which prevents it from despawning and allows for easy transport. Alternatively, you can lead them using a bucket of tropical fish. Axolotls are helpful allies in underwater combat, attacking hostile mobs and granting players temporary regeneration when engaged in battle.​

Breeding axolotls requires feeding two adult axolotls buckets of tropical fish, prompting them to produce a baby axolotl. The offspring usually inherit the color of one parent, but there is a rare chance it will be a unique blue variant. Axolotls come in five color variations: pink (leucistic), brown (wild), yellow (gold), cyan, and the rare blue. When transporting axolotls, remember they cannot survive more than five minutes out of water. Additionally, ensure they are in a safe environment, as they may wander into hazardous areas or be attacked by hostile mobs.

Foxes

​Foxes are passive mobs that inhabit taiga, old growth taiga, snowy taiga, and grove biomes, often appearing in groups of two to four. Their fur color varies by habitat: red-orange in standard taiga biomes and white in snowy regions. Naturally spawned adult foxes are skittish and will flee from players, making them difficult to approach. They are nocturnal creatures, hunting small animals like chickens and rabbits during the night, and they have a unique ability to pick up and carry items in their mouths. ​

To gain the trust of a fox, you must breed two wild ones by feeding them sweet berries or glow berries, resulting in a baby fox that will not flee from you. While the baby fox will trust you, it won’t follow you unless you use a lead to guide it. Trusted foxes can be beneficial companions, as they will defend you against certain hostile mobs, such as skeletons and zombies. However, they remain independent and require leads to stay by your side during adventures.

Ocelots

Ocelots are elusive, passive mobs native to jungle biomes in Minecraft Bedrock Mobile. Unlike cats, ocelots cannot be tamed to follow players, but you can gain their trust by slowly approaching and feeding them raw cod or raw salmon. Once an ocelot trusts you, it will no longer flee upon your approach, though it won’t follow you like a tamed pet. Trusted ocelots are beneficial as they deter creepers, which instinctively avoid them, providing an added layer of security around your base.​

To breed ocelots, ensure you have two that trust you and feed each raw cod or raw salmon to initiate love mode, resulting in a baby ocelot that also trusts you. While these trusting ocelots won’t despawn, they tend to wander, so using leads can help keep them nearby. It’s important to note that, despite gaining their trust, ocelots won’t follow you like other tamed animals, so plan accordingly when incorporating them into your environment.​
