To provide a sense of reality, mobs are designed to be scared of something and have something they like. For example, foxes are scared of players and love to pick berries off bushes. Skeleton mobs are afraid of wolves while wolves love hunting skeleton mobs.

Players can use wolves to farm skeletons or use cats to keep creepers out of their homes.


#2 – New chunks load new animals

Hostile mobs can spawn when the light level is below seven in Minecraft. But this is not the case with animal mobs. Animal mobs rarely spawn in loaded chunks. In a new world, players end up killing all the animals nearby to get food and later fail to find animals for farming.

In such cases, they can visit new areas to find more animal mobs.


#1 – Wolves and cats can teleport to the player’s location

Players will have to protect their pets from teleporting to the wrong places, such as a lava pool. They can also use their teleportation ability to take them to a place that cannot be reached by walking.
