Sadly, Polar Bears in Minecraft cannot be tamed. However, there are other ways to still have fun with these big guys and I’m going to talk to you about those below.

Minecraft: How to Tame a Polar Bear – (Minecraft Tame Polar Bear)

To tame a polar bear, players should bring along several fish for each bear they wish to tame. Feed the polar bear the salmon, and then keep doing so until hearts appear above their heads. These hearts symbolize the success of taming. You will likely have to feed it multiple times to complete the taming process.

When looking for something a bit more fearsome however, you might be tempted to go to the more chilly parts of your Minecraft world. There you may find a large animal in the form of a polar bear who could be a great edition to your growing farm of animals.

If there is any biome that is related to the cold, there is a chance that polar bears will spawn there. The list of biomes that they can spawn in are as follows:

Then change the name tag to a name you would like to give your polar bear and then retrieve the used name tag from the anvil. From there, press use on the polar bear with the nametag and it should have the name you chose, so that way it will not despawn easily.

A polar bear will attack you on the other hand if you obviously attack an adult polar bear itself or if you attack its cub. Attacking a cub first is a very unwise action to take as you will draw the ire of any nearby polar bears that happen to be within 21x21x21 radius. Attacking an adult who has a cub will do more the same, but at a slightly reduced radius of 16x8x16. If you do happen to be attacked by a polar bear, keep in mind that they will be raising their front legs for a mauling attack when they attempt to strike at you.

How to Tame Polar Bears in Minecraft

Players should bring along several fish for each bear they wish to tame. Feed the polar bear the fish, and then keep doing so until hearts appear above their heads. It will take several fish for each bear, so make sure to have plenty on hand. Once the hearts pop up, the bear is tamed. Players can now use polar bears to attack, defend, and even ride. Polar bears are some of the best animals to tame in Minecraft for usefulness.

Using Salmon to Tame Polar Bears

Polar Bears like Salmon the most, and you can tame one by feeding it fewer Salmon than any other fish. Salmon can be caught in any body of water, or you can kill Polar Bears to get raw Salmon.

With a Salmon or other kind of fish in hand, approach the Polar Bear and feed the fish to it with LT/ L2/ ZL/ RMB.

After so many fish, hearts will appear above the Polar Bear and this lets you know that it is now your pet which means it will fight mobs for you, allow you to ride its back (which is the same as riding a horse) and more.

FAQ

How can we tame polar bear?

You can’t tame a polar bear in Minecraft without using a mod! If you want to have a polar bear near your base or home, however, this is possible by using a lead. Locate a polar bear that doesn’t have a cub with it or it will attack you. Use the lead on the polar bear and pull it back to wherever you want it.
