Show (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) Foxes are amongst the latest mobs to leap their way into Minecraft and have already captured the attention of many players with their furry tails and adorable day-time naps. Having been present on the Java Edition of Minecraft for a while, foxes have officially made the jump to the Bedrock Edition with the latest beta, meaning it's time to go over what foxes do, and how you can become best friends with them. (Image credit: Source: Windows Central)Joining the prestigious ranks of tamable mobs with wolves, ocelots, and cats, foxes seek to take the crown for most adorable Minecraft animal. And they may very well succeed. Foxes are a passive mob with some unique behaviors that make them an exciting addition to the game's bewilderingly expansive collection of wildlife. Depending on your luck, foxes may be a tad challenging to track down in-game. They can only be found in taiga biomes (cold forests populated by spruce trees), and they won't be as common as mobs like pigs or cows. However, foxes do typically spawn in groups of 3-4, which offsets their rarity. There are two different kinds of foxes that can be found in the game. In taiga biomes devoid of snow and ice, the foxes that spawn there will be red and white. However, foxes that spawn in taiga biomes that do have an abundance of snow will generate with white and grey fur, much like arctic foxes. This, of course, makes them the best thing in Minecraft. If you have a desire to maximize your chances of finding a fox in-game, they also enjoy hanging out around villages. Minecraft foxes are just as mischievous as their real-life counterparts, leading to some amusing fuzzy capers when nighttime comes around. Overall, foxes are quite small (bigger than a cat but smaller than a wolf) and have large amounts of energy when they're active. Large heads and big, fluffy tails complete their look. There are also baby foxes, although those are rarer in the wild.

With all the many behaviors foxes exhibit, and the bees that will be added later on, Mojang is making cows, pigs and chickens dreadfully dull. That said, there's a lot to cover, so let's jump into it.
How to tame and breed foxes in MinecraftNow that you know more about foxes, it's more important than ever to learn how to become friends with them. As mentioned before, foxes are tamable as well as breedable, so you're able to have your own pack of them. That way, they can sleep all day and ignore you. Of course, foxes just had to go and be different from other mobs, so you can't just tame a couple then start breeding them. It actually happens in the reverse order.
