In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to ride a horse:

## Steps to Tame and Ride a Horse

### 1. Find a Horse

In Minecraft when you find a horse, you can tame it.

Horses are usually found in the Plains biome.

If you are having trouble finding a horse, you can always summon a horse using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

### 2. Tame the Horse

First, select an empty slot in your hotbar (*because you must use your hand to tame the horse*). You will tame a horse by repeatedly trying to mount the horse and getting bucked off.

The game control to tame the horse depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the horse.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the horse and press the `Mount` button.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
* For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
* For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the horse.
* For Education Edition, right click on the horse.

The horse will buck you off. Each time you are knocked off, try to mount the horse again. After every attempt, the horse will let you sit on it a bit longer before it bucks you off.

When the horse is tamed, you should see red hearts appear all around the horse and the horse will no longer buck you off.

Now at this point, you can sit on the horse but you can not control the movement of the horse until you put a saddle on the horse. So let's learn how to put a saddle on the horse.

### 3. Put a Saddle on the Horse

To put a saddle on a horse, select the saddle in your hotbar. The game control to put the saddle on the horse depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the horse to mount it and then press `E` for inventory.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the horse and press the `Mount` button. Once mounted, tap on the button with 3 dots to open your inventory and then tap on the button with the picture of a saddle.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller to mount the horse and then press the Y button to open your inventory.
* For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller to mount the horse and then press the Triangle button to open your inventory.
* For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad to mount the horse and then press the X button to open your inventory.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller to mount the horse and then press the X button to open your inventory.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the horse to mount it and then press `E` for inventory.
* For Education Edition, right click on the horse to mount it and then press `E` for inventory.

A window should open displaying the items that your horse is wearing.

Move the saddle from the hotbar to the saddle box on the left side of the horse picture.

After you move the saddle to the saddle box, you will see your horse's appearance change as the saddle is worn.

Now when you return to the game, you should see the horse wearing the saddle. Now let's learn how to ride the horse.

### 4. Mount the Horse

Now that you have tamed and put a saddle on a horse, you can ride it and control its movements. The game control to mount the horse depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the horse.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the horse and press the `Mount` button.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
* For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
* For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the horse.
* For Education Edition, right click on the horse.

You will mount and be riding the horse. You can move the horse using the same controls that you use to move yourself.

Change the camera angle if you want to see yourself riding the horse.

### 5. Dismount the Horse

The game control to dismount the horse depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the left `shift` key.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), press the Center button (ie: crouch/sneak button) twice.

## Required Materials to Tame and Ride a Llama

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to tame and ride a llama:

**TIP:** You can speed up how fast you tame a llama by feeding the llama either **10 wheat** or **5 hay bales**before trying to mount it.

## Steps to Tame and Ride a Llama

Minecraft has changed the way that llamas are tamed. Here is the latest version of how to tame and ride a llama.

### 1. Find a Llama

In Minecraft when you find a llama, you can tame it.

Llamas are usually found in the Windswept Hills, Windswept Forest and Savanna biomes.

#### Savanna

If you are having trouble finding a llama, you can summon a llama using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

### 2. Feed the Llama

If you want to speed up how fast you tame a llama, you can either feed the llama food. To tame a llama, you will need either 10 wheat or 5 hay bales. To feed the llama, place the food in the hotbar and make sure that it is the selected item in your hotbar.

The game control to feed the llama depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the llama.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the llama and press the `Feed` button.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
* For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
* For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the llama.
* For Education Edition, right click on the llama.

In this tutorial, we will feed wheat to the llama. As you feed the llama each of the wheat, you will hear the llama make an eating sound. Once you have fed the llama 10 wheat and if you try feeding the llama the wheat #11, the llama will make an angry "Naaah" sound. This means that you have fed the llama enough and do not need to feed it anymore.

### 3. Mount the Llama

Next, you need to mount llama. Make sure you have nothing selected in your hotbar. You must use your hand when mounting the llama (so select an empty slot in the hot bar).

The game control to mount the llama depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the llama.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the llama and press the `Mount` button.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
* For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
* For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the llama.
* For Education Edition, right click on the llama.

**TIP:** If you haven't fed the llama enough food, the llama will buck you off when you try to mount it. If this happens, continue trying to mount the llama until the hearts appear and the llama no longer bucks you off.

**Note**: You can actually tame a llama without feeding it any food. Just try mounting the llama again and again with nothing in your hand until the hearts appear.

Once you mount the llama, it will be tamed and you should see red hearts appear all around the llama.

Now, you can sit on the llama but you can not control the movement of the llama. Unfortunately, you can not put a saddle on a llama to control its movements but you can use a lead and guide the llama.

Change the camera angle if you want to see yourself riding the llama.

### 4. Dismount the Llama

The game control to dismount the llama depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the left `shift` key.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), press the Center button (ie: crouch/sneak button) twice.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the Right Stick (RS) on the Xbox controller.
* For PS3 and PS4, press the Right Stick (RS) on the PS controller.
* For Wii U, press the Right Stick (RS) on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the Right Stick (RS) on the controller.

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click and hold.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold.
* For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the L2 button on the PS controller.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the LT button on the Xbox controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click and hold.
* For Wii U, press and hold the ZL button on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZL button on the controller.
* For Education Edition, right click and hold.

As you use the bone, you should see red hearts appear all around the wolf. This means that the wolf is being tamed.

Once the taming process is complete, the hearts will disappear and the wolf will behave like a dog.

Congratulations, you have just tamed a wolf in Minecraft!

# How to Tame a Cat in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to tame a cat with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In older versions of Minecraft, a cat was a type of mob that was created by taming an ocelot. However, in newer versions of the game, a cat is a new type of mob that is independent of the ocelot. Now, there are stray cats wandering around in the game that you can tame into pets (*instead of taming an ocelot*).

Let's explore how to tame a cat.

## Required Materials to Tame a Cat

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to tame a cat:

## Steps to Tame a Cat

### 1. Find a Cat

Once you have the required materials, you will need to find a stray cat to tame.

If you are having trouble finding a stray cat, you can always summon a cat using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

### 2. Use the Raw Fish

You can tame a cat by giving it any kind of raw fish such as raw cod or raw salmon. In this tutorial, we will use raw salmon to tame the cat. To do this, place your raw salmon in the hotbar and make sure that it is the selected item in your hotbar.

Now you need to use the raw salmon. The game control to use the raw salmon depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the cat.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the cat and press the `Tame` button.
* For Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
* For PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the cat.
* For Education Edition, right click on the cat.

**TIP:** You will likely need to feed more than one raw fish to the cat to tame it.

Once you feed the raw salmon to the cat, you will most likely see gray smoke appear above the cat. The cat is not yet tamed. Continue to feed the cat more raw fish until you see red hearts appear all around the cat. This means that the cat is being tamed.

Once the taming process is complete, the hearts will disappear and the cat will behave like your pet.

Congratulations, you have just tamed a cat in Minecraft!

Once you have the required materials, you will need to find an ocelot to tame.

If you are having trouble finding an ocelot, you can always summon an ocelot using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

### 2. Use the Fish

You can tame an ocelot by giving it a raw fish. So add the raw fish to your inventory and select the raw fish in your hotbar.

**TIP:** Make sure you are in a large space when trying to tame the ocelot so that the ocelot has lots of room to move. If you are in a space that is too small, you will not be able to tame the ocelot.

Next, while holding the raw fish, do not move. If you move, you will scare away the ocelot. If you are very still, the ocelot will eventually notice the fish in your hand and begin to walk over to you.

When the ocelot has walked up to you, hold out the fish to the ocelot. The game control to use the fish depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click and hold.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold.
* For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the L2 button on the PS controller.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the LT button on the Xbox controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click and hold.
* For Wii U, press and hold the ZL button on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZL button on the controller.
* For Education Edition, right click and hold.

As you use the fish, you should see red hearts appear around the ocelot and the ocelot will turn into a cute cat. The ocelot has been tamed.

Once the taming process is complete, the hearts will disappear and the ocelot will behave like a cat.

# How to Tame a..... Pillager?

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to tame a pillager with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, you can tame a pillager by breaking its crossbow. Let's explore how to do this.

Subscribe

## Required Materials to Tame a Pillager

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to tame a pillager:

## Steps to Tame a Pillager

### 1. Find a Pillager

First, you need to find a pillager. You can usually find a pillager near the Pillager Outpost, but be sure to lure the pillager away (*before starting to tame it*) so that it is alone. You don't want any other pillagers wandering over.

If you are having trouble finding a pillager, you can always summon a pillager using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

### 2. Use a Shield to Break its Crossbow

To tame the pillager, you need to break its crossbow. Since a crossbow has a durability of 326, you need the pillager to use its crossbow 326 times to break it!

So add 5 shields to your hotbar (*we added 6, just in case*) and possibly some food. Then stand near the pillager and use a shield to block the arrows as the pillager shoots at you.

**TIP:** When you block an arrow with your shield, you can earn the advancement called **[Not Today. Thank You]**.

It will take up to 5 shields and nearly 15 minutes to break the pillager's crossbow. And once the crossbow breaks, the pillager will no longer attack. Instead, it will just wander away. Also, the pillager will NOT pick up any weapons off the ground, so it is safe to hang around with.

### 3. Use a Name Tag to prevent your Pillager from Despawning

If you want to keep the pillager as a friend, you can use a name tag to prevent the pillager from despawning.

We will give our pillager the name of *Friendly Fred* by using the following name tag:

### 4. Move your Pillager around in a Boat

Now the tricky part is to move the pillager around in the game with you. Since a Lead won't work on a pillager, you can use a Boat to move the pillager to different locations in your world.

Just place a Boat on the ground, wait for the pillager to hop in, and then get into the boat yourself and row to your destination!

Congratulations, you have just tamed a pillager in Minecraft!

## Tips when Taming a Pillager

1. DO NOT stand too close to the pillager when blocking with your shield or the arrow will bounce off your shield and hit the pillager (*hurting and eventually killing the pillager before you've tamed him*).
2. DO NOT get in the boat with the pillager until it is tamed or it will attack you.
3. The name tag does NOT tame the pillager, it only prevents the pillager from naturally despawning from the game.

## Side Effects of Taming a Pillager

If you decide to keep your pillager by your side in the game, there are a few side effects that you should be aware of:

1. Your tamed pillager will still scare away villagers. Even though your tame pillager will not attack any of the villagers, the villagers are still programmed to run away from pillagers in the game.
2. You will NOT be able to sleep in a bed when your tamed pillager is nearby because the game still considers the pillager to be a monster. If you try to sleep in a bed with your tame pillager nearby, the following message will appear in the game: "**You may not rest now; there are monsters nearby**"
3. You should use a name tag on your tamed pillager to prevent him from despawning. After spending nearly 15 minutes taming the pillager, you don't want him to disappear in the game.
