Fox Loyalty & Disloyalty

This is an idea that I came up with awhile ago, criticism is welcomed.

Main Idea

  • Fox loyalty would be an effect gained from foxes upon feeding them, disloyalty from hitting them.
  • When a player with fox loyalty is nearby they will steal items from mobs(such as a skeleton's bow, villager inventory, and armor on zombies) or players with fox disloyalty and give them to the player(with loyalty). Lasts about a minute
  • Players with disloyalty will inversely have items stolen from them when they aren't looking(they run away when looked at), in hard mode they can even throw the items into nearby lava or cliff.  Can be removed with milk or feeding a fox.  Lasts about 30 seconds

Why?

  • Gives a fun interaction for foxes with other mobs of the game.
  • Discourages attacking them and adds more challenge to hard mode.
  • Adds a way to guarantee armor or weapons used by mobs such a trident drowned(although difficult to pull off in this case).
  • Possible funny PVP interactions where players can punish other players for hitting foxes, although is difficult to pull off.

    Ahhh... no, I disagree with some of your ideas. Mainly the foxes being able to steal from the player's inventory. That would be the worst.

    huh, hearing this, theres one good side and one bad side, i'd say if they didn't like you, they'd either try to steal common items from your inventory (clay, raw beef, pork) and wouldn't attempt to steal anything more difficult to obtain, and or they'd try to convince hostile mobs to attack you, having someone make you punch or hit a fox would normally result in a plan in killing it, this very well makes them sound like theifs
