Where Horses Appear and the Items They Carry

Before we get into the main topic, you need to know where horses appear in Minecraft. They usually appear in various types of land and savannas in groups of 2 to 6.

A herd of horses has the same color but has different markings. There are 20% possible chances that an individual horse will appear as a foal.

Like other mobs in Minecraft, horses will also drop items when they are killed. Here is the list:

1. 0 – 2 Leather (the number can increase according to the player's Looting level up to 5 pieces)
2. 1 – 3 EXP when killed by a player or tamed wolf
3. Horse Armor and Saddle if the horse carries it
4. A successful breeding process will give the player 1 – 7 EXP.

You can only get this item by killing an adult horse. You will not get any items or EXP points when killing a foal.

How to Tame a Horse in Minecraft

To breed horses in Minecraft, the first thing you have to do is tame them.

Taming horses is also important so players can give them additional equipment and use them as a means of transportation.

You can mount a horse by pressing the “Use” command on them with your bare hands or while holding an object that cannot be used on a horse.

Continue riding the horse you want to tame until they no longer resist the player. The length of this process depends on the temperament of the horse.

Each horse has a different temperament level, ranging from 0 to 100. The horse will be tame if the temperament level exceeds 100.

In addition to riding them, players can also improve the temperament of horses by giving them food. If the taming process is successful, a heart icon will appear above the horse.

How to Breed Horses in Minecraft

To start breeding, players need two tame horses. Once you have both, the breeding process can begin.

The first step you have to do is collect Golden Apple and Golden Carrot and give them to both horses.

This will cause them to enter Love Mode which causes the two horses to mate and produce offspring.

Foals have a thinner body shape than adult horses. To help them grow into adults more quickly, provide plenty of food.

The color a foal will have depends on the variety of its parents. They tend to have the same coloration as the markings of one of the parents.

Horses can also breed with donkeys and produce a Mule that can no longer reproduce. Doing so will unlock the Artificial Selection achievement.
