Starting a farm in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Minecraft just isn't the same without your own herd of horses. Thankfully, much like the other animals in Minecraft, horses are quite easy to tame and breed.
Here's everything you need to do to start your own horse family: taming, breeding, and what sort of stats the baby horses might get from their parents. This guide will also cover everything you need to know about horses, donkeys, and mules.
First, You Need To Tame The Horses
You aren't able to breed wild horses, you need to tame them first. Taming a horse 🌊in Minecraft is very simple, and you can do this even before you have a s♍addle.
Approach a horse in the wild. Click on the horse with an empty hand, as if you were trying to use an item. This will put you onto the horse's back. Horses aren't massive fans of being ridden and it may take a few tries for the animal to calm down.
There's a threshold in place for how long it takes to tame a horse: each time you get on the back of the animal you basically tame it by 5 points, and there's a magic number somewhere between 0-99 you have to hit before the horse is yours. That number is random and different for each horse. Some horses will take longer to tame than others.
Some other tips:
- You can increase the taming speed for horses by feeding them apples, wheat, carrots, and sugar.
- You will need a saddle if you want to ride the horse, though you can use a lead to move a tamed horse.
- Some horses have more health, and some are faster (we'll cover that in a later bit of this guide).
- It's a good idea to move your horses to a farm so you can keep an eye on them, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:check out this guide to livestock a🌊reas herꦫe.
How To Breed Your Horses In Minecraft
Okay, so you've tamed two horses and are now ready to have them breed. You will need Golden Carrots or Golden Apples. Yep, horses have expensive taste, apparently. Feed one Golden Carrot or Golden Apple to each horse and you'll see they enter "love" mode, with hearts bubbling up from their heads. This means they're ready to breed.
After a short moment, the horses will produce a baby horse, called a foal. These little guys are cute, but if you want them to grow up quickly you can begin feeding them lots of food. After all, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:even a farm with lots of crops isn't complete without some horses.
The foal will have stats based on its parent's stats. Therefore, if you bred two fast horses together it's very likely that the baby horse will share those traits. Sometimes it might even be faster. Other traits that are shared from horse to foal are HP and Jump Height. You can repeat the breeding process over and over again until you get yourself the perfect horse.
Some general tips:
- Horses can also share their parent's markings and colorings, although there is a chance that the baby horse will come out with completely random markings.
- You can breed horses pretty regularly, although they have a mating cooldown period just like other animals.
How To Breed Donkeys And Mules In Minecraft
Breeding donkeys works exactly the same as with horses. You will need to tame them and then feed them Golden Apples and Carrots. Donkeys are much slower than horses but can equip chests instead of armor. This can be ♉super useful for above-ground adventures and transporting items from one area to another.
If you breed two horses together, you get a foal. If you breed two donkeys together, you get a baby donkey. However, if you breed a horse with a donkey, you'll get a mule. Two Mules cannot be bred in Minecraft. Plus, a horse won't be much use in the Nether, so 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:you might want toꦫ ride a Strider instead.
How To Get The Best Horse, Donkey, Or Mule In Minecraft
The stats of wild horses and donkeys might suggest that the former are naturally faster than donkeys, although some selective breeding can render this claim untrue. Wild horses spawn with random stats, whereas donkeys in the wild are typically pretty slow and a bit useless.
However, if you begin to selectively breed your horses, you could, in theory, create a donkey that is just as fast, healthy, and able to jump as any horse. This can take a bit of time, but it's probably worth it: an animal with chest space is generally more useful than armor because fighting on horseback in Minecraft is a bit of a nightmare.
