Horses are another mob which can be tamed by players. They are excellent for traversing through land, as horses can easily climb mountains, jump high, and ride fast.

In the Minecraft 1.18 update, horses can be lured in if a player is holding a golden apple, enchanted golden apple or a golden carrot. These food items can also be used to breed horses.

Cats are one of the best mobs in Minecraft 1.18 update. Cats can be found in all types of villages, and are tamed with raw cod or salmon. The only tricky part is that players will have to sneak or chase a cat and feed it enough food to tame them. Cats are excellent, as creepers are afraid of cats and won't come near.
