Ocelots can serve as a primary defense against some of the most annoying mobs in Minecraft.

Phantoms (bedrock edition only) and creepers (both editions) will not come close to Ocelot. If a player decides to build a base in a jungle biome, there is a chance that Ocelot will confidently defend his base when it matters most.

#4 – A reliable mechanic

Ocelot cannot be controlled by the player. They only have the ability to trust them.

Although they cannot be tamed, a reliable ocelot will not run away from a player as they usually do. Ocelots also won’t lose confidence if they aren’t too far away.
