The fascinating story of a Minecraft player who stumbled upon a massive cat in an old save, shedding light on a forgotten era of the game when ocelots could be tamed as pets.
The enduringly popular sandbox game Minecraft continues to astound users with unanticipated throwback features. In a lovely turn of events, one Minecraft fan discovered a gigantic cat while returning to an old save, igniting interest and memories among gamers.
The Constantly Changing World of Minecraft: As Minecraft has grown, it has received several updates, from simple adjustments to revolutionary changes. The environment of the game has changed as a result of these updates, which added new creatures and blocks. Among these changes, a unique occurrence recently surfaced, harking back to a time when Minecraft operated entirely differently.
The Reddit finding: A player by the name of 360Fanatic used the Minecraft subreddit as a platform to announce their astonishing finding. They encountered a huge cat that dwarfed the other tameable cats in the game when they loaded their old save. A visual comparison revealed the startling size gap, inspiring humorous comparisons to well-known cartoon characters like Garfield, big cat breeds like the Maine Coon, and well-known fat cat memes.
The mysterious gigantic cat's origins can be found in 360Fanatic's old Minecraft file, a holdover from a time before cats and ocelots were distinct characters in the game. The revolutionary "Village and Pillage" update, which added common stray cats and changed ocelot behaviour, signalled a sea change. Ocelots were once as domesticable as modern cats. Instead of shrinking to normal size or returning to its untamed condition, a domesticated Minecraft ocelot instead developed into a gigantic cat. This is an outlier since the distinction between small domestic cats and ocelots became absolute.
A Strange, Non-Game-Changing Surprise Thankfully, this enormous cat doesn't interfere with gameplay. The 2019 update that gave rise to the ocelot's transformation has made this enormous feline extremely rarer. Players' remarks indicate a tangible yearning for the time when ocelots could be domesticated and treasured as pets, even though the large pet cat doesn't provide any notable in-game advantages. Although taming ocelots is no longer possible in the source game, Minecraft's thriving modding community makes sure that players can recreate this experience, whether they want to embrace nostalgia or welcome new players to the game.
