Ocelots are yellow spotted passive mobs found in jungles.

Spawning[edit]
Spawn cycle[edit]
Ocelots try to spawn on grass blocks or leaf at sea level or higher in jungle biomes. There is a 1⁄3 chance for a spawn attempt to fail. While ocelots are passive mobs, natural spawning considers the hostile mob cap rather than the much-lower passive mob cap.
When a wild ocelot spawns, there is a 1⁄7 (14.28%) chance for two ocelot kittens to spawn with it; this chance includes any kind of spawning, including spawning naturally, by spawn egg, or by monster spawner.
If a player spawns an ocelot within 10 blocks of them in creative mode, the player must leave the range then re-enter if they wish to tame the ocelot.
Breeding[edit]
When ocelots or cats are fed an uncooked fish of any kind, they enter love mode. Breeding creates a kitten, and the parents cannot be bred again until five minutes have passed. The kitten shares the coloring and owner of one of the parents. Two sitting ocelots are unable to breed, but a mobile ocelot can breed with a sitting ocelot, in which case the kitten's breed always matches that of the mobile ocelot.
The growth of baby ocelots can be accelerated slowly, using raw fish. Each fish takes 10% off the remaining time to mature.[Legacy Console Edition only]
Drops[edit]
Ocelots drop when they die:
- 1–3 experience orbs when killed by a player or tamed wolf. Like other baby animals, killing a baby ocelot yields no experience.
Behavior[edit]
Ocelots attack chickens and baby turtles. They assume a sneaking stance, and stalk the animal before chasing it down. They can even kill through a fence or a door if they are against it.
Creepers and phantoms avoid ocelots and cats, keeping a distance of at least 16 blocks even while chasing a player.
Ocelots are immune to fall damage, but still avoid falling off cliffs high enough to normally cause fall damage.
Ocelots can still see players even with the Invisibility status effect.
With the exception of a faster movement rate, ocelot kittens obey the same behavior as adults.
Trust[edit]
An ocelot is a passive, "shy" mob that does not attack the player. Ocelots are one of the few mobs with the ability to sprint, and sprints away if the player approaches too near in Survival or Adventure mode. If enclosed and unable to escape, they stand still until an exit becomes available, after which they quickly sprint through.
A player can feed an ocelot raw salmon or raw cod to gain its trust. Prior to Java Edition 1.14, Bedrock Edition, and PlayStation 4 Edition, feeding an ocelot could tame it, but in current editions feeding an ocelot causes it to trust the player, after which it no longer flees from from the player.
Data values[edit]
Ocelots have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the mob.
- Entity data
- Tags common to all entities see Template:Nbt inherit/entity/template
- Tags common to all mobs see Template:Nbt inherit/mob/template
- Additional fields for mobs that can breed see Template:Nbt inherit/breedable/template
- Trusting: 1 or 0 (true/false) - true if the ocelot trusts players.

Issues[edit]
Issues relating to "Ocelot" or "Cat" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia[edit]
- Ocelots are the first mob created by Jon Kågström, an AI specialist who worked with Jens Bergensten on Minecraft.[3] Jens created the texture for the ocelot, as Jon had trouble doing so himself.[4]
- The tuxedo cat is based on Jeb's pet cat, Newton,[5] who has unfortunately passed away.[6]
- In real life, cats are known for their ability to flip upright during a fall, particularly larger ones; though they still might be injured by landing. This fact is reflected in Minecraft because they take absolutely no fall damage.
- Cats hiss if attacked by a player.
