Cub: Dont breed your horses *hears bdubs screaming in the distance*

[@akkiruksavage554]

I actually didn’t agree with his reasoning on that one. While it is true that they will slowly get back to average stats if you just start randomly breeding from your two fastest horses. If you keep breeding whatever your two fastest horses are and ONLY the fastest babies you will get the perfect horse.

[@Leoveroan]

there are a definitely a lot of perks and disadvantages to breeding your horses in minecraft. you are 100% correct in the trial and error part. I have spent part of my time in a minecraft server breeding horses together to get a good horse with decent health and jump, but my main goal was speed. it took a few months, a lot of golden carrots, and a lot of horses but I didn't mind the work because I love horses in general. eventually I managed to get what I was aiming for, though

[@HandleDisliker]

Another way to explain the video's viewpoint is thus (if it doesn't work this way please correct me): Let's say we're only breeding horses for one stat and we start with two horses that are an exact 5 on a 1 (worst) to 10 (best) scale. The first baby has a 50% of being better than its parents. Let's say it ranks a 7. Nice. We now average the 7 with a 5 to get a 6. Now the next horse has a 40% of being better than its parents. There's a declining chance to get the best horse. By the time we breed enough horses to get a 9.9 of 10, the next horse will have to be in the 1% to even surpass its parents. That means a ton of horses to breed among the best for just one statistic. For a horse to be good at all three stats I think you have to take the number of horses you take and multiply it to the third power. That's quite a few. By contrast, flying via elytra tens-of-thousands of blocks to find (potentially) hundreds of horses is probably better. You don't have to breed them and wait for them, nor do you have horses out of the wazoo that you have to "take care of," nor do you have to worry about three statistics working against you. You need only fly, test, and take your version of the perfect horse and leave the rest. All this said, breeding horses actually sounds fun XD

For any bedrock players, if you want a fast horse, splash 2 horses with a speed pot and breed. The game accounts for parent speed in bedrock and the potion speed effect actually carries over. Get multiple of those, rinse and repeat to get exponentially faster horses.

[@versedraccoon4013]

[@yhwhachkg7030]

I actually didn’t know that about horse breeding I was figured that you could make faster horses if you just put them all together, thank you cub you always find a way to teach me something new about Minecraft.

[@cea6770]

You still can. What Cub said is that on average, the offspring will be more average than the parents. If the parents are slower than average, the offspring will likely be faster. Also, even if they are fast, you can still get a randomly fast offspring, just with rapidly diminishing probability. Cub's statements should be preficed with if your goal is to get the fastest horse possible.

[@deathdouspart0x]

You can, and their own data admits this.

[@Ainjyle]

I never knew that you could feed baby horses sugar or even thought of using scaffolding. More videos like this please!

Love when Cub makes a tips and tricks video because, even though I have a near doctorate in Minecraft science at this point from all the time I've wasted watching KZbin videos, there's always at least one thing I've never heard of or thought before. For this video, it's the fact that I need to bring scaffolding with me for horse holes!

[@potato4dawin1]

This makes me think that by combining a passive mob farm with the idea of Gnembon's pathfinding based Blaze Farm and a tripwire/pressure plate based timing mechanism you could probably create a mob farm that sorts horses by speed.

[@cubfan]

Yes. Passive mob farms are the best way to get good horses.

[@FIREOWLHK]

I’m pretty sure scicraft has something like this. They even have redstone timed tests for each horse attribute

[@potato4dawin1]

@@FIREOWLHK I think their timer setup requires riding the horses through manually. If they use an automated pathfinding based system then their farm would probably produce a dozen max speed horses per hour.

[@FIREOWLHK]

@@potato4dawin1 My bad, it does seem a little unreliable though especially on a public server where pathfinding is pretty janky. I know some people who have tried to make gnemboms pathfinding blaze spawner and it had some issues.

[@potato4dawin1]

@@FIREOWLHK yeah, pretty much every public server uses Paper or Spigot to reduce lag and it messes with lots of stuff like pathfinding. There's a project in the technical community to make server software that preserves those vanilla mechanics while cutting down lag but it's still in development so that's a bit disappointing.

[@redbladehunter9719]

[@brickbot2.038]

This makes me wish horses were more useful than they are. Other methods of travel are preferred by people, like elytras, minecart tracks, or soul speed, and since horses have trouble in certain terrains (Like water, as you showed), they really aren't used much, except maybe a bit by early game players.

[@Seb_Semos]

once you get elytras you don't really use anything else. They should revamp other ways of transport to make them as good as elytras...

[@burke615]

@@Seb_Semos I would agree with that if the way to upgrade other forms of travel were also available only in the End.

[@brickbot2.038]

@@Seb_Semos Yeah, exactly. What I would think is give each form of transport special advantages and disadvantages, so that players have to use all sorts in different scenarios. Kinda like how rails and boats are still used, because you need them for transporting mobs.

[@XyloJW123]

I only just realized like last week that Frost Walker 2 is sufficient for a horse on a lead to follow you safely across water. I lucked into frost walker boots from a sunken ship, and I was able to walk my horse across the ocean with a lead from a wandering trader. Total game changer for pre-elytra travel

[@katrinarobinson1037]

I've always be fascinated by horse in general, and minecraft made them even more interesting. One thing I found out about horses in minecraft is, if you breed a family of them. And continue to have more fouls. Soon making a family tree. The horses will soon start to naturally follow you or come out already tamed (though I believe the 2nd one is a glitch)

[@Markezasdf]

It took me quite some time to understand why horses and the like can't ride a boat, but can ride a minecart, that's because you can drop off the horse with activating rails, while you need to actually break the boat to free your horse, which you can't because the hitbox of the horse is larger and cover the entirely boat. WE NEED LARGER BOATS!

[@deathdouspart0x]

I did not know about how good Sugar was for speeding up the growth process.. pro tip!!

[@loumu7176]

Always suspected their walk speed was directly correlated to their speed. Thanks for confirming. Another thing I’ve noticed is that when you hop on a horse to tame it, it makes a trotting noise. “Click clock, click, clock”. I feel like the speed at which that sound repeats might also inform you of how fast the horse is. Any idea if that’s correct?

[@cecillewolters1995]

Ben nu benieuwd of een slimeblock ook werkt...

[@piranha5211]

Hm. I sort of disagree with the breeding advice. It's true that breeding random horses in general will regress to the mean, and so it doesn't make sense to breed the random horses you've got in order to improve your herd -- but if you collect some great horses as starter stock and only breed your very best ones, with a lot of breeding and some luck you will eventually have a herd of excellent horses. I think the chances of collecting an entire herd of excellent horses in the wild isn't as good (and takes a lot more running around instead of just breeding the ones you already have). But I still gotta watch Ilmango's undoubtedly very sciency video to see what he has to say about that. And of course few people want herds of excellent horses; they just want one really fast jumper, and for that the chances are probably just as good to run around the world and test random horses for stick and snow numbers. ;) I didn't know about the scaffolding trick; neat!

[@abbyreid991]

I agree with you! I’ve bred excellent horses to each other and produced herds of amazing horses without having them regress to lesser wild type stats. I’ve done this is multiple worlds including realms and made a very nice business out of it. I’ve even done the same with donkeys and mules. The parents have majority over the random horse stats so in my experience at least it is rare for already good horses to produce something lesser than themselves. They usually produce a foal that is either equal to themselves or a little bit better. It’s all in how you select your breeding partners and HOW you breed them. I guess I can’t speak for everyone but I agree with you based on my experience and am curious to see if other people share the same experience :)

Horses will revert to the mean from their fast parents… if you just breed them randomly. But thatʼs why you have to kill the slower ones too. Thereʼs a chance that the foal will be faster (or jump higher, my preferred attribute) than the parents, at which point you kill the slowest parent.
