How to attract every animal in Minecraft

After hostile entities, animals are the most beneficial mobs in Minecraft. They can be either passive or neutral, and a few of them yield different items in multiple ways. A lot of the animals can also be bred by the player.

Players can move their animals from one place to another by attaching a lead to them. However, there is another effective method of attracting animals and making them follow the player.
