    Minecraft is the most popular game that positioned itself as a “Sandbox game.” It is so popular as the gamer is allowed to learn while gaming. In short, Minecraft is a virtual land where the user can create their own world. The users can also experience various views using their creativity. The game is available on multiple platforms like Xbox, Smartphones, Computers, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation. Above all, this game is often referred to as virtual lego as it is so flexible with no rules to abide by. As mentioned earlier, you are allowed to create your own world to breed and tame horses. So let us see how to breed horses in the Minecraft game.

    The phrase “Breed Horses” stands for itself. Depending upon the world you built, Horses will either be your necessity or luxury. Horses play an essential role in this ecosystem. So breeding horses means potentially increasing the number of horses you own. And in turn, it will also increase the population of the horses.

    1. How to get Horses?

    You can find the horses in one of the three places, mostly in savannas or in plains or the village setups. Based on where you set your world, you can find the horses in herds of two to six. The horses are available in various colors like black, white, grey, brown, etc. If you have any preferences over color, you got to hunt.

    Savanna – Tan grassland with few acacia trees

    Plain– Grassy empty land with fewer trees

    Village – A typical civilized areas in various forms

    2. Requirements

    To breed horses in Minecraft, you would require the following supplies.

    2. One horse and one donkey (to create mule in case)
    3. Sparks fly
    4. Two Golden Apples or Carrots

    Oaktree drops the Apples, and Zombie drops carrots in the village. You can combine apples with golden ingots and carrots with the Golden nuggets.

    3. Tame the Horses

    First, it is vital to tam horses. Wild horses cannot be bred. So it is important to tame the horses before going for breeding. Two wild horses will not breed. Likewise, a tamed horse wouldn’t breed with a wild horse. If you want to tame wisely and efficiently, you can refer to the guides available on the game. Taming horses also includes feeding them. Taming varies in length based on the horse’s temper.

    2. Then tie them to the fence post.
    3. To tame, you need to mount the horse.
    4. A saddle wouldn’t be necessary.
    5. The horse will throw you off unless it is tamed completely.
    6. Repeatedly mount on the horse until fully tamed.

    The following steps work when you breed two horses in the paddock or a horse and a donkey to breed a mule.

    Love Mode

    Keep the two horses 8 blocks apart, and they will meet and kiss. The new foal will appear. Once the horse enters into love mode, it will stay for 30 seconds. If not bred within this time, the heart will disappear, and the horse gets into an inactive stage. You need to feed them again.

    5. Foal’s Genetic Offspring Probabilities

    Finding offspring variety is very easy. There are various possibilities that you can get from the game guide. But this section summarized a few basic possibilities.

    • Two horses of the same color will produce the same offspring of the foal.
    • With 17.78% probability, offspring will resemble Parent A or B. Or variation of each or a combination of both.
    • There is a 44.44% chance for the horse to resemble parents.
    • The 11.11% of the offspring may differ.

    The temper state or the health or speed and jump strength are determined by taking an average of both the parent’s strength.

    6. Down Times

    1. Two horses will not enter or be incapable of breeding for the next 5 minutes. After that, the horses can be fed and made to breed. So if you want many foals, you need to have more studs and mares.
    2. Likewise, it will take 20 minutes for the foal to attain an adult stage. Only then riding or breeding is possible. And the time can be reduced by feeding more sugar, apple, wheat, or haybales. Each number of food will reduce the time by 10%.

    In earlier days, Horse breeding is one of the ways to civilize. As Minecraft is about building a world, horses are indeed an important ride or travel. That’s why people of all age groups love Minecraft. Even schools and colleges started giving educational training with this game. That was all about breeding horses in the Minecraft game.
