Watch Nooblet best way to trap a Phoenix and he uses oil jars and a parasajr to find the ashes and traps it.

To the person who asked, Phoenixes eat Sulfur.

You can get it to spawn next to your base because of the following: It always respawns at it's last location, so if the heatwave ends while you are following it you will know where it is for the next heatwave. It also chases you when you eat flowers... hint hint

aparrently putting something to sleep and feeding it its favorite food is considered violent but setting a bird ON FRICKIN FIRE isnt wow wildcard

You can look for it with a parasaur when heatwave isn active...it can detect an ash pile...i got lucky and found one after 5min

Real men don't tame with torches they tame while on fire with there fist and trap it with thatch

Easy, Wait till the heatwave is over then when ashes are down build a cage 5 walls up over the. Itll spawn and be trapepd, Then use oil jards. The more you use the faster it tames.

Find a phenix during a heatwave and follow it until it ends. The phenix will turn into ashes and land on the ground but will spawn right back at the same exact spot during the next heatwave. Build a trap 6 blocks high so I can't glitch out and you have yourself a trapped phenix to tame:)

An easy way to catch a Phoenix is to use a fire stone and to use an oil jar
