Fox

Foxes are nocturnal passive mobs that spawn commonly in taiga, giant tree taiga and snowy taiga biomes, and sometimes in taiga villages.

Spawning
Foxes spawn in taiga, giant tree taiga, and snowy taiga biomes, and sometimes in taiga villages, in groups of 2–4. 5% of them spawn as babies. When spawned in a snowy taiga biome, foxes are white in color. They spawn more commonly at night time, sleeping in the forests.

Holding items
Adult foxes have a 20% chance to spawn with one of the following items in their mouth:

Drops
Upon death, adult foxes drop 1–2 orbs when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Like other baby animals, killing a baby fox yields no experience.

Foxes always drop any items they pick up and are still holding (they cannot drop food that they have eaten, for example) and drop items they spawn with naturally with a chance of 8.5% or 100%.

If a fox is killed while holding a, then the fox consumes the totem and revives itself instead of dropping the totem.

Behavior
Foxes move quickly, about the same speed as ocelots, and they flee from any nearby players and wolves. They are completely unaffected by sweet berry bushes, taking no damage or speed reduction while moving in them. Breeding two adult foxes with sweet berries produces a baby fox that trusts the player.

Attacking
Foxes will attack chickens, rabbits, cod, salmon, tropical fish, and baby turtles on land. Foxes will also attack any mobs that hurt a player they trust. Foxes will attack either by running up to the target and dealing damage or pouncing. Foxes prepare to pounce by tilting and lowering their heads and lowering their body to become smaller. Then they then spring up, jumping into the air 2-3.5 blocks up. Foxes can jump over fences and walls. $$, foxes also shake side to side before pouncing and their legs can also be seen waving around while midair.

Red foxes prefer to attack chickens, rabbits, and baby turtles, all of which are on land, over cod, salmon, and tropical fish; conversely, arctic foxes prefer to attack cod, salmon, and tropical fish over land-dwelling creatures.

If a fox pounces into a snow layer, they will become momentarily stuck, remaining face-down, emitting particles, and returning to normal shortly after.

Even if attached to a lead, foxes will attempt to run towards the closest attackable mob.

Sleeping
During the day, if the weather is not thunder, foxes attempt to find a space with a sky light level of 14 or less and sleep. Block light has no effect on this. While the fox sleeps, it slowly moves its head up and down. A fox wakes if approached by a player or mob. However, foxes do not move or run away if the player approaches while sneaking.

If the sky light at the fox's position becomes 15 (either due to a block above being destroyed or the fox being moved), the fox immediately wakes up.

Foxes can drop and pick up items in their sleep.

Trusting foxes can fall asleep even if attached to a lead.

Foxes do not sleep if they are within twelve blocks of an armor stand.

Sitting
A fox also randomly sits down every so often, usually during the day if the fox cannot find a “shaded” area to sleep. The fox sits for only a moment, then hops back up. Foxes sometimes sit down even when attached to a lead., as they are easy to spot locked in houses and fallen in the wells.

During the night, foxes occasionally emit a screeching noise.

Breeding
When sweet berries are used on two foxes, the foxes breed, producing a baby fox. The baby fox trusts only the breeder and does not run away from them, even after growing up. However, they follow nearby adult foxes, so an adult running from the player may cause the baby to do the same. If a red fox is bred with a snowy fox, the baby has a 50% chance of being either red or snowy.

Enemies
Wolves are aggressive towards foxes when within 18 blocks of them. Polar bears also sneak towards foxes and attack them if they are close enough. Baby polar bears, normally passive, also attempt to attack foxes within 16 blocks.

Entity data
Foxes have entity data associated with them that contains various properties of the mob.

Trivia

 * Although foxes appear to hold items in their mouth, they are technically holding items in their main hand.
 * Foxes are one of the only non-player mobs that can naturally sleep in Minecraft. The other mobs include cats, villagers, and bats.
 * Foxes are the only overworld land mob that can jump more than one block high without status effects or player input.
 * When a wild fox is bred using berries, despite the child trusting the player, it is kept anchored to its skittish parent until it has grown.
 * The practice of foxes going to villages is based on stories of foxes raiding older towns for food in the real world.
 * In the real world, some species of fox jump high to catch their prey by surprise, an action reflected in their Minecraft counterpart.
