Fox types

This mod adds 6 new natural types, making a total of 8 natural types. In addition, it adds two skins for foxes with certain name tags.

Foxes have a certain chance to have a specific type when spawned in a certain biome (this can be modified in a data pack, see below).

Red fox (vanilla)

The most common type of fox, spawning in all taiga variants except snowy ones.

• Type ID: red
• Summon: /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {Type: red}

Arctic fox (vanilla)

The most common type of fox in snowy taiga biomes, highly dominating all other fox types there. Only spawns in snowy taiga biomes.

• Type ID: snow
• Summon: /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {Type: snow}

Black fox

A relatively common type of fox that spawns in all taiga variants.

• Type ID: black
• Summon: /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {Type: black}

Silver fox

A relatively common type of fox that spawns in all normal taiga variants. Has a rare chance to spawn in snowy taiga as well.

• Type ID: silver
• Summon: /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {Type: silver}

Platinum fox

A rare type of fox that spawns in any taiga, yet more commonly in snowy biomes.

• Type ID: platinum
• Summon: /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {Type: platinum}

Gold platinum fox

A rarer variant of the platinum fox, that spawns in any taiga, yet more commonly in snowy biomes.

• Type ID: gold_platinum
• Summon: /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {Type: gold_platinum}

Grey fox

A relatively rare variant that spawns only in giant taiga biomes.

• Type ID: grey
• Summon: /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {Type: grey}

Cross fox

A common variant that spawns in all not-snowy taiga biomes.

• Type ID: cross
• Summon: /summon fox ~ ~ ~ {Type: cross}

Name tags

Naming a fox “FoxShadew” gives it this heterochromia skin:

The blue skin you see in pictures exists in 1.2 but has been removed due to personal reasons. Sorry.

Other changes

• This mod fixes MC-170551. Foxes can now properly spawn on podzol, dirt, or coarse dirt, making them much more common in giant tree taiga biomes.
• Spawning a fox using a spawn egg in snowy biomes other than snowy taigas now spawns arctic types (in vanilla it will incorrectly spawn red foxes), by default using the same rates as in snowy taigas.
• When the splash on the title screen reads In case it wasn't obvious, foxes aren't players., it is replaced with In case it wasn't obvious, foxes are players..
