About this Mod
About This Mod:
Normally foxes run away when players approach - this mod removes that fear mechanic.
In version 6.0+, feeding a fox a Apple will make it follow you. Right-clicking or exiting the game will make it wait in place.
Foxes regenerate health when eating autonomously.
Crouch + Right-click allows the owner to change the item their fox is holding.
This mod can be added to modpacks.
1.12.2 Version:
- Backported foxes (added foxes to 1.12.2).
- Breed with carrots, beetroots, or items with "berries" in their registry name.
- Supports picking sweet berries from the "Future MC" mod.
Compatibility:
- Fabric-1.0 version should theoretically work with all versions above 1.18.
