MINECRAFT HORSES! FINALLY! RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION!

ITS HERE FOLKS! HORSES! YOU CAN ALSO RIDE THEM!

DIFFERENT COLORS: First of all, horses can appear in multiple colors. Here are some types:

Left to right: black with white spots, brown with dark brown mane with white mark on head, reddish with white spots and beige mane, pure black

reddish brown with beige mane, dark brown with dark dark brown mane

mule

Left to right: pure white, dark brown with white spots and really dark brown mane, black with white feet and white forehead mark, donkey, black with large white spots

NOTE: All those horses up there are actually a small number of horses you can see. Some may have different colors, but similar characteristics I.E spots. Those horses up there are previews. If I wanted to list all the horses it would take AGES. Anyway, before you ride a horse, you need to tame it.

HEALTH:

SPAWN: Horses only spawn in plains biomes.

TAMING: To tame a horse, you need to earn its trust. Press the use item button while looking at a horse to ride it. Sometimes, the horse won't even allow you to get on it at all. Persistence is key. It will buck you off and you must repeat this process. Do it until it doesn't buck you off. Then it's tamed! You can also speed up the process of taming with food.

You can feed a horse food to increase the taming probability

DISMOUNTING: To dismount a horse, press left shift.

HAY IS FOR HORSES: You can feed a horse hay, which will heal ten of its hearts and speed its growth by 3 minutes. How to craft hay:

Takes 9 wheat

DROPS:

RIDING: You need a saddle to actually ride a tamed horse.You can only find saddles in dungeons.

Press E while riding a horse and put the saddle in its inventory slot that has an outline of a saddle.

Saddled up!

Use the WASD keys to ride a horse. Horses can go extremely fast, and can jump if they need to. They don't have to jump to get above 1 block. To charge up a jump, hold space (or whatever your jump key is) and release when your jump meter is full. It will fill up as you hold space. If you hold space too long, the meter will decrease. Timing is important!

BREEDING: To breed horses, you need two tamed ones. To breed them, start riding one of them and press the use item button with a wheat or a golden apple on them. Do the same to the other. Horses can't be bred while wearing armor (we'll get to horse armor soon). They should make a baby horse! The foal should get their parent's characteristics. To speed up a foal's growth, feed it sugar, apples, wheat, bread, hay blocks, or golden apples.

ATTACKING?: Nope. Horses can't attack.

PACK HORSES: Mules and donkeys can wear chests, which allows you to transport items. Press the use item button on a horse with a chest to put it on the horse. Then, ride the horse and press E. You will see your inventory and the horses inventory. You can fill his inventory with items. Mules and donkeys cannot wear armor, because they can wear chests.

STAY HORSE!: To make a horse stay in one spot, you need a lead. Here's how to make a lead.

takes 1 slimeball and 3 string

To tie up the horse, you need a fence post. Press the use item with the lead on the horse, then on the fence post. Then it should stay in place! Press the use item button on the lead where it is tied to the fence to remove the lead.

 Also,  you can only click the lead on the horse and not the fence post, which causes the lead to act like a leash. The horse will follow you when it has a lead on, but if you get too far away from the horse the lead may snap.

ARMORED CALVARY: Yes! You can put armor on your horses! Mules and donkeys cannot wear armor, however. Here's how to make the types of horse armor:

Iron ingots+any type of wool = iron horse armor

Gold ingots+any type of wool = gold horse armor

Diamonds+any type of wool = diamond horse armor

 Put on the armor like you did with the saddle.
TIP: There is no durability for horse armor, horse armor cannot break. Gold is better than iron armor only because there is no durability.
