Minecraft – Why are animals not following me when I’m holding wheat

minecraft-legacy-console

I'm holding wheat and they won't follow me. Why not? I'm sticking it right in their faces and they are not taking it and it's bothering me. Why is this happening?

Best Answer

Breeding, which is one use for wheat, is not present in the current Xbox version, so as a result I doubt any animals will respond to wheat at all.

In the current PC version, wheat is only used for breeding cows, sheep, and mooshrooms. Breeding chickens is done with wheat seeds, and breeding pigs is done with carrots. Ocelots/Cats are tamed and bred with raw fish. Wolves/Dogs are tamed with bones, but bred with meat.
