Fox, carrot... and an indifferent pig? in Minecraft

Hello, Minecraft experiment enthusiasts and fans of unexpected questions! Have you ever had this happen: you're sitting there peacefully, and suddenly a thought pops into your head: «What if…?» I just had one of those moments of inspiration. Imagine: another evening, the base is set up, pigs are grunting in the pen, foxes are darting around. And then it hits me — if I give a fox a carrot, would a pig want to chase after it? My first thought — «This would be amazing if it works!» I can already see the scene: a red fox leading the way, followed by a cheerful parade of pigs — an automatic convoy for farmers! It would be a crime not to test this hypothesis, right?

Getting to work

I immediately decided to turn this fantasy into a real experiment. The plan came together in a flash — simple, yet intriguing:

• Find a suitable fox (friendly… well, as much as possible).
• Bring a pig clearly interested in a snack to the fox.
• Carefully toss a carrot near the fox so it grabs it (honestly, it felt more like a battle of wits: me versus the fox).
• Arm myself with patience and… popcorn!

The moment of truth

The scene was perfect! The fox happily grabbed the carrot, sat down with an important air — as if it had won the lottery of life. And the pig? To be honest, its reaction almost offended me. First — a focused look: at me, then at the fox. Then a moment of contemplation — and zero enthusiasm. I could see it clearly on its face: «Do you seriously think I'm going to chase after that redhead? No way!» The level of indifference — through the roof: not a single step forward, zero interest in the carrot holder.

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed — how could this happen? Such a cool plan, so much hope, and the pig ignored even the hint of an adventure. Apparently, Minecraft's rules are unforgiving: for a pig, it's not the treat itself that matters, but who is holding it. Only a player with a carrot, potato, or beetroot can suddenly become its idol.

Still, I got a ton of emotions and a good dose of fun: it was something else! Moments like these make you realize — experimenting in Minecraft is never boring.

Let's experiment together!

So that's how the experiment turned out — unexpected and amusing in its own way! Have you ever tried something like this? Do you have hypotheses you're afraid to test alone? Share your boldest (or funniest) ideas in the comments, and I'll gladly set up the next Minecraft testing ground!
