This article is about the Ocelots that appear in Minecraft. Explains points and characteristics when feeding Ocelots. Ocelots are animals that are available in the jungle. Unlike the “cats” in the village, they are not tamable, and only yellow ones exist. Ocelots are available on the ground in jungles.

The point is that it appears not only on grass blocks but also on leaf blocks. You can spot them on trees as well as on the ground. Ocelots have a low appearance rate, so if you don’t search patiently, you’ll often not find them.

How do become Friends with Minecraft Ocelots? 

Ocelots are highly cautious and have the property of running away when the player approaches. However, it is possible to prevent them from escaping by feeding them raw fish (raw cod, raw salmon).

When actually giving raw fish, you have to devise ways to prevent Ocelots from escaping. There are some differences between the integrated version (Switch version, smartphone version, PS4 version, etc.) and the Java version, so I will explain them separately.

Integrated version

In the integrated version, hold the raw fish in your hand to lure the Minecraft Ocelots. If you get too close, the cat will run away, so keep a safe distance from it and wait for it to react to the raw fish. If you react to raw fish, it will slowly approach here.

So if you get close to some extent, it is OK to approach from here and give raw fish. If you feed a raw fish and a heart effect appears, it is proof that you have become friends with a wildcat. However, even if you give raw fish, it may fail, so prepare some raw fish.

Java Version

In the Java version, the point is to hold the raw fish in your hand and wait patiently for it to approach. If you hold a raw fish in your hand, the wildcat will slowly approach you. However, even if you have a raw fish, if you chase it from here, it will escape.

Therefore, stay in a spot just outside the wildcat’s field of vision and wait for it to approach without moving at all. (Be careful not only by moving the player but also by moving the viewpoint a lot.)

If you feed a raw fish and a heart effect appears, it is proof that you have become friends with a wildcat. However, even if you give it raw fish, it may fail, so it is better to give it in a state where you have collected several raw fish.

How to increase Ocelots in Minecraft? 

Ocelots can be born like any other animal. The trick is to give raw fish to two Ocelots that have become friends. Then, after the heart effect appears, a child wildcat is born. It will grow into an adult over time, but you can speed up its growth by feeding it raw fish. By the way, baby Ocelots are born without getting along with each other.

Characteristics of Ocelots 

Attacking chickens and baby turtles: Ocelots tend to attack chickens and young turtles. If you are going to keep them together, you should be careful.

Take no fall damage: Ocelots do not take fall damage when falling from high places. However, Ocelots act to avoid falling from high places. By the way, cats have the same characteristics.

Creepers don’t come near: Creepers don’t like Ocelots and will shy away from them if they are nearby. However, even if a Minecraft Ocelots approaches before the explosion, the explosion will not stop, so be careful! By the way, this is also of the same nature as the cat.

Specification changes due to village and loot updates, Ocelots have undergone a major redesign with the “Village and Looting Update”. The village and looting update was around April 2019, ver.1.10.0 for the integrated version.

And ver.1.14 for the Java version, Ocelots can no longer be tamable, and instead can (cannot escape) by feeding them raw fish. As for taming, it’s carried over to the new addition of this update: Cats.

Conclusion 

This is all you need to know about the Ocelots in Minecraft. They are like wildcats of the real world but much more useful than any other mob. When it comes to fighting with Creepers then they are like gold to us. There is not another mob in the entire Minecraft that can help you with night walks.
