Top 5 Mobs To Tame In Minecraft

Minecraft is one of the biggest open-world sandbox ever made, and it is filled to the brim with features. Amongst them, taming is probably the most popular. Players can tame wild mobs in the environment and use them to unlock various new features.

In this article, we are going to list out the top 5 mobs to tame in Minecraft.

5 - Axolotl

The Axolotl is a new animal introduced in the most recent patch, Caves and Cliffs. They are usually considered an aquatic hybrid of wolves and foxes. There are five variants of Axolotls and they can be scooped up in buckets.

Players can use Tropical Fish to bait the Axolotl into attacking Drowned and Guardians. When injured, the Axolotls have a chance to fake their death, dropping to the ocean floor to heal.

4 - Wolf

Wolves often appear in packs in forest and taiga biomes. They are neutral unless attacked and can be named using bones. Wolves don't get food poisoning so you can feed them with pretty much everything, from rotten flesh to pufferfishes. Once tamed, it will follow the player and attack mobs hostile to them.

Skeletons avoid wolves, just like how creepers avoid cats. Having a pack of both wolves and cats in your travel will let you scatter dangerous mobs.
