Horses are a passive mob in Minecraft and are one of the few mobs in the game whom players can tame and ride. They spawn naturally in Minecraft’s plains and savanna biomes, and can be found in herds of two to six. Horses can appear in a wide variety of colors and patterns, with a few distinct variants.
With long ears and gray coats, donkeys are one such variant. Players can tame and ride donkeys like any other Minecraft horse, but there are still some differences between the two.
Minecraft Horse vs. Donkey: Similarities and differences
</figcaption></figure>
<h4><strong>1) Appearance</strong></h4>
<p>While Minecraft horses can have a variety of coat colors and patterns, donkeys are more or less identical. Donkeys are also slightly more miniature than regular horses. They have taller ears, and manes that don’t visibly stick off the back of their heads.</p>
<h4><strong>2) Spawning</strong></h4>
<p>While horses and donkeys both spawn in Minecraft’s plains and savanna biomes, donkey herds are a little bit smaller. Players will only find one donkey per spawn in savanna biomes, or up to three in the game’s plains.</p>
<h4><strong>3) Equippability</strong></h4>
<p>Horses have two equipable item slots available. One slot is for a saddle, and one is for horse armor. Horses equipped with this armor are granted additional protection and an armored appearance.</p>
<p>Donkeys cannot be equipped with horse armor. They can, however, be equipped with chests. This gives players an additional in-game inventory that they can access, and makes traveling by donkey one of the most efficient ways for players to transport items over long distances.</p>
