Horses, Donkeys, Mules & Camels! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [Ep.27]

[@Dozeji]

A small correction - Donkeys can be equipped with chests as well

[@CZghost]

Yes. And mules are not really that much of an improvement over donkeys, because while it may be faster, jumpier and/or more durable, it's not by much. The real advantage of donkeys is the ability to attach chests to them, which is a great way to make portable inventory. Mules have the same advantage, while also looking kinda like a horse (it has a body of a donkey, but a texture of a horse). Donkeys and mules will always have 3 rows and 6 columns of inventory space (3x6) when equipped with chests, as opposed to llamas, which can also be equipped with chests, but cannot be riden (I mean, you can jump on it, but can't control it), but it is essentially a walking inventory extension. The reason why I say as opposed to llamas is because that's a random trait actually. You can get anywhere between 2 to 5 columns of inventory space, rarely you could get full 6 column space (always 3 rows), so the inventory can be between 3x2 and 3x6. You won't however find a llama that has full inventory space, that's only a rare chance while breeding. You can breed two llamas together and the resulting inventory space will be mostly the average between mommy and daddy. But there is a chance that the result will be slightly higher than the average, which means you can farm them and make as much 6 columned llamas as you want. The biggest advantage to llamas is that you can lead one and every other llama in the vicinity that has been tamed will follow the one that is led, which in theory may create a long carousel of walking inventory. I'm not sure if there is a finite number of llamas that will follow you, but I guess you'd pretty much bet on simulation distance taking a huge role in this (simulation distance in conjunction of render distance). If you crank it up very high (make sure it doesn't overcook your GPU while doing, so you get playable FPS), the carousel could be as long as 20 llamas in line, which if each llama has maxed out inventory space, would make it 20x3x6, which is 360 item slots, plus the 27+9=36 item slots in the player's inventory, which is 396 item slots. That's a lot. Now imagine that you fill each item slot with a shulker box, which has 27 item slots. That's 360x27, whopping 9,720 item slots! Theoretically. You'll never need that much items space for a mobile inventory, ever! :D Of course the trade off is the speed of travel, so as much as it sounds like a very useful amount of space, you'll be moving hell slowly, which makes it not that much useful anymore.

[@Dozeji]

@@CZghost I did happen to use a donkey quite a bit during my various playthroughs, and during one,.I remembered about the mule mechanic. Once I tested them, the difference was night and day, and it even somewhat matched the horse I used to breed it with in terms of speed. I feel like mules are a - surprise - in-between form of a donkey and a horse. Can carry stuff and is way more mobile than a donkey

[@neetscholar4149]

@@CZghost Small mistake in what you said: The inventory size of a Donkey/Mule, as well as the max inventory size of a Llama, is 15, not 18.

Welcome Back Pixlriffs! Glad you were able to get your computer fixed. Not gonna lie, missed your morning videos to start the day with =D

[@bernadettesnow3084]

I love the new horse breeding mechanics! I spent three hours and I managed to get a horse that had a 14.18 speed and a 4.56 jump height (stats gotten from minihud.) This was literally impossible before the breeding update

[@HelloAnrose]

"Horse people, let me know" is such a dangerous statement on the internet! Glad to have you back, Pix!

[@thetoad5407]

True words! Horse people in mine and my wife's family. Watch yourself, Pix.

[@kestrelgaming554]

As a horse person, yes that is the shoulders + never rode a horse in minecraft 😮. Welcome back 😊

[@LeMan12349]

No matter how long we have to wait, these are great

[@molasses3850]

Welcome back Pix! Glad your PC is fixed!

[@bigestpoes8991]

All good Im glad to know there are some fellow horse people here.

[@danielrhouck]

Minor corrections: 1. The new system does not *bias positive*; it fails to *bias neutral* and most horses are quickly better than neutral. If you start with a particularly *bad* pair of horses, the foals will be worse. I think wild donkeys might count there; I forget. 2. Donkeys can carry chests.

[@Vuk_Kovac]

Carrot on a stick was added in 1.4 so before that you could ride pig but not controle it, only reason to ride a pig was to get when pigs fly achievement.

[@r.k.knight2164]

Glad your computer is fixed! I missed starting my day with your videos. They're so chill and informative. Hope everything else is going well. Looking forward to the next video.

[@myrandamiller91]

Hey Pix, note on Donkeys and Camels: Donkeys can be chested; the advantage of a Mule is that Mules can jump higher. You can get a faster mule/donkey by breeding but their base jump height is locked, if I remember correctly. Camels can sprint, and will do so indefinitely as long as they don't get stopped or damaged. It's separate from the Dash, as you just tap your Sprint key and off they go.

[@greybeardmc]

I love how even though I've been playing this game for over a decade, I'm still learning things. For example, I never knew about carrots on a stick used to get the pig to go faster (and taking damage as a result).

[@eloquentornot]

Welcome back!! So great to see you again, and I love the pig inclusion at the end! I'd never heard of horses growing up in multiple stages before, and that didn't actually seem to be demonstrated in this video from what I could see, with the foal both when it first spawned and shortly before it grew up being just shorter than its parents' bodies and its body just shorter than a fence post, at least I think that's what it looked like. (I think the mule is just smaller anyway.) So, I just now googled Minecraft horse growth stages and it sounds (from the Fandom wiki) like that is actually a thing, but only on Bedrock edition?

[@StarNanny]

The newborn foal was significantly smaller than the pre-adult which was smaller than the adult.

[@christianhohenstein1422]

Glad to have you back. I have two additions: You kinda missed the skeletton horses, though I get they are a special case. Horses/mules/donkeys are wider then one block so they wont fit trough a single fence gate or door. I guess that is true for camels, too but I have to claim one yet. Btw. sand is technically renewable, because you can buy it from the wandering trader how useful that may be

[@easternv1lle]

It is not common to come across skeleton horses as they can only be spawned from a horse being struck by lightning, so I see why he did not introduce them

[@christianhohenstein1422]

@@easternv1lle Skeleton horses spawn naturally as skeleton trap horses during thunderstorms. No need to struck horses with lightning. ;) I was sure Pixel would pick up that topic when he encounters it I was just surprised he didn't even mention that this horse variant exists.

[@easternv1lle]

@@christianhohenstein1422 yeah I know lol, but maybe if he finds one, he may make a video about it

[@Lea_D.]

Welcome back! I wondered if you were going to explain how to make the horse jump, but later you kind of did when you talked about making a camel dash. For those wondering, hold the space bar down and you'll see the jump bar filling up. Release the space bar to jump. Try to release just as the bar gets to max filled for the highest jump. BTW I would always (at least before chest boats!) get a saddle and donkey early on for the extra inventory. I always name my first donkey "Burrito".

[@thetoad5407]

I've been learning Spanish for a few years now, and it wasn't until I read your comment that I realized the association. *Sound of my palm slapping my forhead! So then I went on a deep dive on why soft tortilla wraps are called little donkeys. I'm back now, still not quite sure, but I do know I won't look at burritos or donkeys the same again.

[@crazoatmeal1854]

Adding "gold horse armor is actually better than iron horse armor" to the "things the Survival Guide taught me that I didn't already know as an experienced player" collection

[@magicmagic8188]

Camels are so cute. I love their smiles

[@RadRafe]

Correction: you can craft a carrot on a stick even when the fishing rod is damaged. And when the carrot on stick breaks, you get back a repaired fishing rod! When a tool is a crafting ingredient, your recipe book only has the recipe for when the ingredient tool is fresh. But you can still craft the item by putting the ingredients in the grid yourself. This can save you a lot of work crafting dispensers out of damaged bows. I have a dispenser-crafting station at my mob farm so I can take busted skeleton bows and make dispensers on the spot.

[@georginatoland]

For April Fools, Mojang should create pig armor. With trims.

[@Flareontoast]

A) yes that's the shoulder! It's usually where you measure the horse's height, too. B) while both a called mule generally, the offspring of a horse and a donkey is called a Mule or a Hinny depending on which animal was the father and mother. The German names of this translate as "mouth/mule donkey" and "mouth/mule animal"

[@Techdawg77]

Yes! Thank you for this. I love random facts

[@dragon97006]

Welcome back. Really missed your videos. Always learn something new.

[@TheRealWormbo]

The vanilla way to obtain the actual horse values is the /data command. MiniHud is definitely more convenient, though. As for in-world measurements, stacked snow layers are the most precise option, being 1/8th of a block (or 2 pixels) in height. (The block collision height is one fewer layer than stacked on top of each other.) For the speed measurement it's a good idea to use cobwebs along the test track to slow down the horse/donkey. Soul sand (especially with packed or even blue ice below) can further slow things down, proportionally to the horse's original speed. To measure time, you can use the transfer rate of hoppers (an item every 0.4 seconds) or droppers on a clock (up to an item every 0.2 seconds), starting the item transfer when the horse enters the test track and stopping it when the horse reaches the end.

[@niiikaaa21]

Welcome back!! :) I kinda stopped playing in my solo world because my sister, a couple friends and I have started playing together on our old server again and that's a lot of fun. But I also still love my solo world, and now that your survival guide videos are back, I'll definitely continue playing along in there again too!

FINALLY!!! Another ep... LET'S GO!!

[@_Abjuranax_]

See if you can breed up the stats on camels and other mob please, and it looked like you popped a lead while feeding a camel. You can also of course use a boat to pop off a wondering traders lead (any mob on a lead actually), and then use a lead to safely remove any non-hostile mobs from a boat. Try it, works like a charm.

[@silvinity4939]

I believe camels just have a standard set of stats, same as llamas. Only horses and donkeys have variable stats iirc.

[@Hiznogood]

18:51 Well you can get sand from killing Husks, so building a mob farm in the desert can solve that problem!

[@Pixlriffs]

Husks do not naturally drop sand. If this happens in your world or on a server, you’re dealing with modified loot tables. The only time I’ve ever seen this happen is in skyblock, where the loot table was modified to make sand farmable when there’s no terrain to explore.
