Before we start, it is worth noting that ocelots are only found in jungle biomes. So if you want to tame an ocelot, the first thing you need to do is to find a jungle biome. Once you have found a jungle biome, you can begin your quest to tame an ocelot.
Step 1: Preparing for the Hunt
Before you start looking for ocelots, you need to prepare for the hunt. Firstly, you need to craft some fish. You can catch fish using a fishing rod, or you can cook raw fish in a furnace. You will need at least two to three fish for each ocelot you want to tame.
Secondly, you need to make sure that you are well-equipped for the jungle biome. This means that you need to have a good set of armor, weapons, and tools. You will also need to bring some food with you since jungles can be dangerous and you may need to fight off other mobs.
Step 2: Finding the Ocelots
Once you are prepared, it is time to start looking for ocelots. Ocelots spawn in the jungle biome at night or during a thunderstorm. They are also shy creatures, so they will run away from you if they sense that you are approaching them.
To find an ocelot, you need to move slowly and crouch. This will make you less visible, and the ocelots will not run away. You can also use food to lure ocelots towards you. Hold out a fish and slowly approach the ocelot. If it is hungry, it will follow you to get the fish.
Step 3: Taming the Ocelot
Once you have found an ocelot, it is time to tame it. The first thing you need to do is to feed it with fish. Approach the ocelot while holding out the fish, and click on it to feed it. You need to feed it several times before it trusts you.
When the ocelot starts to trust you, it will start to approach you and may even rub against your leg. When this happens, you need to stop moving and let the ocelot approach you. When the ocelot is close enough, you need to right-click on it with an empty hand to tame it.
Step 4: Bringing the Ocelot Home
Once you have tamed the ocelot, you can bring it home as a pet. To do this, you will need to lead the ocelot with a lead. A lead is crafted using four string and a slimeball. Once you have crafted the lead, you need to attach it to the ocelot by right-clicking on it. Then, you can lead the ocelot home.
You can also make your ocelot sit down by right-clicking on it with a fish. This will make it stay in one place and prevent it from following you. When you want to pick it up again, simply right-click on it with another fish.
Conclusion
Taming an ocelot in Minecraft can be a fun and rewarding experience. It requires patience, skill, and preparation. Following our tips on how to tame an ocelot will help you to succeed in your quest. So, get out there and start hunting for those adorable little jungle cats!
