Breeding animals in Minecraft - how it works

Breed animals in Minecraft, get important items such as meat or leather faster. We explain here how to breed the animals correctly.

Attract the animals

Proper nutrition is important for breeding. The first thing is to attract the animals. The animals follow you by picking up the food and walking close to the animal.

• Chicken: Use the item "seeds" as bait.
• Pig: A "carrot rod" or a normal "carrot" attract this animal.
• Sheep: The sheep follows you when you pick up "wheat".
• Cow / mushroom cow: The cow or mushroom cow also loves "wheat".
• Horse: You have to tame these animals first. To do this, go near the animal and right-click on it. Repeat this process until the horse no longer throws you off.
• Cat: This pending animal automatically follows you.
• Wolf: You have to tame the wolf with "bones" before you can breed it. Right-click on the animal's "bones".

Minecraft: breed a cub

To breed you must give both animals the food. Take the right food in your hand and feed the animal with a right click. It then falls into a "love mode". If two animals meet, a young animal is formed after 2.5 seconds.

• Chicken: Mates by feeding "seeds".
• Pig: Decayed by "carrots" in love mode.
• Sheep: Give the sheep "wheat" to eat.
• Cow / mushroom cow: You breed young animals by adding "wheat".
• Tamed horse: Horses are gourmets, only "golden apples" or "golden carrots" cause them to mate.
• Cat: These animals prefer to eat "raw fish".
• Tamed wolf: the main thing is "meat", regardless of the form. Even "rotted meat" can be given to a tamed wolf.
