Uses of ocelots in Minecraft

Ocelots were the original felines introduced to Minecraft. They now find themselves at home in the game's jungle biomes.

Although they cannot technically be "tamed" in the way that ordinary cats can, ocelots can be fed raw fish in order to increase their trust in the player.

Top ways that ocelots can assist players in Minecraft

Farming chicken Like foxes, ocelots enjoy stalking and killing chickens in Minecraft. While this may seem counter-productive, ocelots can be used tactfully to farm chickens. 

Deterring phantom For whatever reason, phantoms are scared of cats, including ocelots, and will stay 16 blocks away from them.

Breeding Once ocelots have gained a player's trust, they can be put into love mode with the same food that allowed them to gain that trust: raw cod and/or salmon.

When two ocelots are placed in love mode, they will breed and produce a kitten. In Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, this kitten will be born trusting the player immediately. This means it won't despawn like other ocelots that trust the player.

Achievement/advancement completion There are many animal-focused advancements and achievements that players can unlock in Minecraft.

Keeping away creeper Every Minecraft player has a story about creepers sneaking up on them, exploding, and frightening or surprising them.
