They Boogie but They Don’t Eat Cookie
Parrots can be found in the jungle with five color variants for any bird lover. If you want to tame one for yourself, you’ll need to feed them as many seeds as possible. Once the hearts appear, they’ll be your pet, able to fly around you or even sit on your shoulders.
These feathered friends are adorable with the unique ability to dance to music when left to sit near an active jukebox. If you want to cause mischief, they can also mimic mob sounds, including hostile entities. Train one of these to mimic a creeper and leave it in your friend’s base.
Camels can be found in desert villages and all you’ll need is a saddle for up to two players to be able to ride these funny guys around. Since they are taller than horses, hostile mobs won’t be able to reach you as easily, making it great for traveling at night.
When traveling, you may use the camel to dash up to twelve blocks forward and one high if you need to make it over some ravines or simply speed up the journey. Bred using cacti found in their natural biome when they aren’t traversing the desert, these guys love to just sit and chill.
Donkeys are a great alternative to horses if you need some extra inventory space as they can be equipped with chests to store goodies. To tame them, simply hop on their backs until the hearts appear and you can equip a saddle.
They spawn most commonly in plains and meadows with limited numbers in the savanna. With the ability to jump fences and plenty of health, these mobs make a great companion for anyone traveling with a lot of loot and no shulker boxes. If you need to breed them though, be warned they’re expensive, taking golden apples or golden carrots.
The Donkey and Horse Combo
Mules are obtained by breeding a horse and a donkey, after which the mule itself can not be red. They become a blend of the pair, functioning like a donkey with some of the horse’s traits. This means they can be used to equip chests and increase inventory space.

Sticks and Snow

Surprisingly Useful
Llamas are often found in the mountains or savannas with several different coat variants. However, special llama variants can spawn with wandering traders. While often overlooked as they can not be controlled with a saddle and must be led with a lead, llamas have so much potential.

The standard inventory space ranges from three to nine slots, but through breeding you may get up to fifteen. With fun carpet patterns you can use to customize your llamas, you’ll be traveling in style as you take them through your world.

After a long day of hard work, be sure to give them pork chops for being good boys and restore their health.
The Purrfect Companion
If you’re not a dog person, then perhaps a feline is better suited to your tastes. Found in villages or swamp huts, cats can be tamed by slowly approaching them with fish in hand. If you try to chase them down, they’ll only run.
