Berserker Fox: how an item in its teeth changes the outcome in Minecraft

Hold onto your seats, because today I’ve got a truly scientific (and slightly crazy) story from the world of Minecraft! As always, in the name of science and your smile, I decided to test: if you give a mace to a fox to hold in its teeth, does it change her chances against a regular chicken? First thought: «What if that epic fall bonus actually works?» I was ready for anything—Minecraft tests often surprise.

Fox hunt, or how to tame a tiny tester

Honestly, the hardest part isn’t the experiment, it’s the prep. Try catching a fox—these fluffballs are so swift I had to run a lot and gather sweet berries to get her to participate. Next, handing over the mace. You should’ve seen that face: as if I’d given her a magic staff, not a weapon! Anyway, everything’s set: our hero of the day, the mace, and a clueless chicken.

Round one: fox VS chicken — a classic

For experiment purity, first I checked what happens when a fox meets a chicken with no “magic” items. Simple setup: small arena, minimal distractions—strictly scientific! The fox rushes in, lands the first bite… the chicken’s alive! Second hit—and only then it’s the end for our feathered friend. Two hits, folks; only after the second does the chicken yield to the fox’s inexhaustible zeal.

Act two: super-fox and the mighty mace

Now for the exciting part! We repeat the scene, but this time our fluff proudly holds the mace. I was honestly ready to dance around the arena waiting for the result and… it all happened in a flash. First hit—and the chicken’s gone! I didn’t even have time to blink. Armed with this epic weapon, the fox drops the chicken with a single precise strike. That was something else! Right there I was convinced: the mace isn’t just for looks—it really gives the beast a tangible bonus.

Impressions and unexpected details

To be honest, the experiment was not only useful but hilarious. A fox with a mace looks like the true boss of this world. As soon as it ended, the fluff bolted with a “wasn’t even here” look, and I thought: “Why didn’t I put on this show earlier?”

An interesting nuance—the mace result consistently differs from standard behavior. Even if the chicken looks surprised, its fate is decided in a single swing. Then a tiny geek-voice popped up: “What if we give the fox an enchanted mace? Or run a fox tournament?” As you can see, ideas keep multiplying.

Takeaways and an invite to crazy experiments

In short: a “normal” fox takes down a chicken in two steps; with a mace gleaming in its teeth—the chicken drops instantly. One of those times when the experiment delights not just with the result, but the whole process.

Now I’m really curious: what else would you like to test in the spirit of a true Minecraft lab? Which experiments hook you? Send ideas, jokes, even wild challenges—I’m all in! Let’s make this game even cooler and more fun together.
