Q&A for How to Make a Zoo in Minecraft

Yes, hostile mobs will not despawn if they have a name tag, unless you go into peaceful mode of course.

It's up to you, but make sure you have enough space; you don't want to overbuild.

If you separate them with something like fences, you don't need to keep them very far apart.

Simple.Just make a pen out of glass with a wooden roof and then spawn them inside with a spawn egg.

It depends on the mob. You put the plants into their cages depending on the biome or area's surroundings.

Make an enclosure out of glass, then put snow blocks and ice blocks in it. Use a polar bear spawn egg inside the enclosure.

Yes, but you need to do: /summon bat, then leash the bat as soon as possible. If you have achievements, then no.

You can buy it, or get a free trial of it.

There is a very slight chance they might. For example, zombies can attack horses.

Yes, it is. Put the birds inside a glass enclosure, then make a pathway for you to walk through.

If you run out of room, find another good place to build a zoo, and build a new one. Once you are done with that, create a minecart/boat system that leads to the new zoo.

Any pen would do, even better if it's made of glass. Remember to add grass, and a few trees.

To get a bat in a pen, you can use spawn eggs, but if you want cheats off, you can use a lead.

Keep the zombie out of the sunlight and the villager in a cage made of anything you like. If you're worried about the zombie turning the villager into a zombie villager, just separate them with a 2-block high wall.

Yes it will. Zombies are hostile mobs. If you don't want it to attack you, build a cage around it.

Yes, there are public modes. Make your own server. This is how you do it: Click Multiplayer. Then, Click Add Server. Then, Enter a server name. After that, Enter the server address.

You cannot get villagers to come to your zoo. One solution though is to put your zoo next to a village. You can also build a farm inside the zoo, so that the villagers get interested.

You need a mod to do that. Otherwise, there is no way. Some mods are Mo' creatures, Zoocraft Discoveries, or watch the I'm Building a Zoo - Mods video for others.

Usually, you can name any mob in the game. To do it, you name the nametag in a anvil. Then, you right click the animal (in PC). Or, if on mobile, press the "name" button the appears.

Make a pool of water, and in the water add sea lanterns so mobs won't spawn. You can decorate the pool with coral, kelp, and sea grass.

Make sure to add lots of torches (and or lanterns) around the walkways. Light usually keeps away wild mobs.

Yes, the Warden can kill any entity that makes noise, including animals. Additionally, Wardens may not be a good addition to your zoo.

As long as you are not eating the animals, then yes, it is vegan. You can just eat the non-meat foods.

Wild ocelots can only spawn and be found in the jungle biome. They're quite elusive.

Separate the animals by species so they don't eat (or get eaten by) one another.

Taming an ocelot requires a lot of patience, but it can be done. Hold shift to crouch, and have fish in your hand. Wait for the cat to slowly walk towards you, begging for the fish. Then, right-click on the cat to feed them fish until they change color. You now have a domestic cat who will sit and stay like a dog.

You can add an ice cream shop, and it can be as small or as large as you like. I recommend a small stand, but choose a size that complements your zoo.

You can, but it's not recommended. You can't spawn a ghast in survival mode, but if you do, create a large exhibit with a roof to prevent it from flying away.

Use an anvil to rename a name tag and click on your animals with it. Named animals will not despawn.

The plains biome is ideal for building a zoo because it's green and flat. If you want a different ambiance, you can choose any other biome that suits your vision.
