Guide to tame each animal in Minecraft
Wolves
Wolves can be tamed with bones and will then protect their owner by attacking any mobs the owner attacks (except creeper). Tamed wolves have collars as well and you can dye the collars in different colors. A wolf’s health can be determined by the position of its tail. The higher the tail, the healthier the wolf is. You can heal your wolf by feeding it any meat other than fish.
Horses, Donkeys, Mules & Llamas
In order to tame any of these animals, you need to ride them around till they don’t throw you off. Horses, donkeys and mules can be equipped with a saddle which will allow players to control them. Llamas however, can’t be equipped with saddles. Horses can also be equipped with armor while donkeys, mules and llamas can be equipped with chests.
Cats
Wanna keep the creepers away? Cats can be tamed with raw salmon or cod but they’re quite quick so you’ll have to approach them carefully. And yes, creepers dislike being around cats.
Parrots
Parrots can be tamed with seeds and will sit on your shoulders if you walk into them once you’ve tamed them. Just don’t feed them cookies.
