More Domesticated Foxes
Vanilla foxes in Minecraft are charming, but they never truly become yours. They snatch your items, sleep through your adventures, and vanish into the nearest berry bush. More Domesticated Foxes changes all of that by turning wild foxes into loyal companions you can tame, breed, and command. If you have ever wanted a furry friend that follows you into the night, this add-on delivers exactly that.
What More Domesticated Foxes Adds to the Game
The core idea is simple. You craft a sugar covered sweet berry using one sweet berry and one sugar, then feed it to a wild fox to convert it into a more domesticated fox. Feed it a second time to tame it, and congratulations, you now have a bonded fox companion that answers to you.
Right-clicking your new friend toggles them between following and wandering. When they follow, they stick close and leap into action against anything that hurts you. When they wander, they patrol on their own and even target hostile monsters, which makes them surprisingly effective home guards.
Fox Behavior, Breeding, and Sleep Cycles
Following and Guarding
Your fox is not just decoration. It hunts down chickens and rabbits with genuine enthusiasm, and it defends you against attackers. Set it to wander and it will pick fights with monsters by itself, turning your base into a guarded territory.
Breeding and Sleeping
Domesticated foxes breed with sugar covered sweet berries, but only while they are awake. That detail matters because these foxes sleep during the day and wake up at night, flipping the usual Minecraft rhythm. If you need your companion, simply ask it to follow and it will happily rouse itself from its nap.
Custom Baby Models
The developer could not reuse vanilla baby fox models, so custom models and textures were made from scratch. The result is a litter of cubs that look distinct from anything in the base game. Babies grow up after three sleep cycles, which means sleeping in a bed speeds their development considerably. Until they mature, they are untamed and ignore every command, just like real wild kits.
Supported Versions and Loaders
More Domesticated Foxes was built with MCreator and targets Minecraft 1.16 on the Forge loader. The creator has since stepped back from further development, so the add-on remains listed primarily for players who still run 1.16 worlds. Newer versions are not planned, and the original announcement openly recommends Domestication Innovation for anyone on modern Minecraft releases who wants deeper fox taming systems.
If you are browsing for add-ons, the foxygame.net launcher makes it painless to grab More Domesticated Foxes for Minecraft, since its built-in catalog handles the download and drops the file straight into the correct mods folder for your profile.
How to Install More Domesticated Foxes
Setting up the add-on takes only a few minutes:
- Install Minecraft Forge for 1.16 if you have not already done so.
- Download More Domesticated Foxes from the official listing page.
- Place the .jar file into your mods folder, found inside your Minecraft directory.
- Launch the Forge profile and confirm the add-on appears in your mod list.
- Load a world, craft sugar covered sweet berries, and find a fox to befriend.
Always match the add-on to the correct game version. A Forge mod built for 1.16 will not load on a newer release, and mixing versions is the most common cause of crashes during startup.
Final Thoughts
More Domesticated Foxes is a small, focused add-on with a clear promise: foxes that actually belong to you. The taming loop, the day-night sleep inversion, the guard behavior, and the custom cub models give it a personality that vanilla foxes lack. It is a solid pick for anyone still playing 1.16 who wants a companion that hunts, protects, and curls up for a nap after a long night. For players on later versions, the creator's own advice points toward newer alternatives, but for its target release, this add-on remains a genuinely enjoyable way to bring a fox home.
