taming was tweaked a couple of patches back and im not aware of any significant changes to it in HnH other than the requirement to use the butchers knife to slaughter tamed animals. initially you could only tame with Carrots after HnH but that has now been patched and changed.
the significant change that was made was essentially a nerf on breeders design at the time; the way animals feed was changed to make sure they have enough space to feed and the food was on the same level as them. essentially nerfing single or double tile breeders.
breeding mechanics in general remain the same:
create a fenced off area and lure your chosen beast into in then close it fully in. throw in relevant food and retreat to a distance where the animal wont get "agro".
also be aware that animals have LOS and the current agro trigger is about 6-10 metres.
once thats all sorted you need to stay within visual range of the animal; essentially close enough to see the yellow hearts floating from it. a 0 star boar will take about 2 days to tame...more stars= longer taming and agro to the animal will halt (not wipe) taming until it calms down again. dont have fire nearby; or if you are planning to wait the taming out ie: with a wolf you can then make follow you; make a small cabin with a bed and have a fire in there which will break LOS and also give you some safe space.
boars will tame to red mushrooms (not yellow), raspberries and blueberries. and yes you can throw a stack in.
current breeding limit is 6 in a 10*10 area i believe. beyond that amount they simply wont breed.
thats when you build a raised breeder and create an "infinite" breeding system which works for both boar and wolves.
Lox tame in exactly the same way except they are way harder to trap as they do so much damage. so best way is to dig a hole and trap them in it.

this breeder design works still in HnH and will produce essentially unlimited boars...it can easily be modified to work with wolves as well (they require a taller area to feed as they are a larger model) which you can see in the background to the left
