Horse Transportation: Boat Accessory For Easy Horse Travel

Transporting your horse in a boat in Minecraft is a tricky endeavour. While some players suggest that it is possible to transport a horse in a boat, others claim that only baby horses can fit. One user suggests that you can get a horse into a boat by pushing it in, stuffing it with apples to help it grow, and then putting a chest and/or saddle on it. Another user suggests that you can ride your horse into a boat and then dive underwater to right-click the boat from below. However, some players disagree, stating that adult horses cannot be put in boats.

Horses can be pulled along and tied up using a lead

To craft a lead, you will need to find slime to get slimeballs. Once you have slimeballs, you can craft a lead.

You can also transport a baby horse in a boat. Push the baby horse into the boat and stuff it with apples to help it grow.

Horses can swim behind a boat by using a lead

Horses can be transported in Minecraft in a couple of ways. One way is to have them swim behind a boat by using a lead. Another way is to attach a lead to a boat (before putting the horse in the boat) and then swim and tow the boat containing the horse. However, adult horses cannot ride in boats in the Java edition.

To craft a lead, you need to find some slimeballs and spiders in a swamp.

In the Bedrock edition, adult horses can fit in boats. However, in the Java edition, adult horses cannot fit in boats. This has been a source of frustration for some players, who have called for bigger boats or for the feature to be added to the Java edition.

A boat can be attached to a lead and the player can swim to tow the boat containing the horse

Horses are passive mobs in Minecraft that can be ridden when tamed and saddled. They can be pulled along and tied up using a lead. There are two ways to tow a horse: horses can swim behind a boat using a lead, or a boat can be attached to a lead and the player can swim to tow the boat containing the horse.

To attach a horse to a lead, the player must first craft a lead using slimeballs and string. The lead can then be used to pull the horse along. Leads can also be used to tie up the horse.

When towing a horse in a boat, it is important to note that only baby horses can fit inside boats. Adult horses are too large and will not be able to enter the boat. Therefore, if you are planning to transport an adult horse, you will need to use the first method of towing the horse behind the boat.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that horses cannot float on water when being controlled by a player. They can be ridden in water up to 2 blocks deep. In deeper water, the player will automatically be dismounted.

Find/breed a baby horse/donkey, push it into the boat, stuff it with apples to grow, and put a chest and/or saddle on it

To put a horse in a boat in Minecraft, you'll first need to find or breed a baby horse or donkey. Baby horses spawn in plains and savannas in herds of 2-6, with 20% spawning as foals. You can also find them in villages, which naturally generate with stables and animal pens containing horses. To breed a baby horse, feed two tamed horses golden apples or golden carrots to activate love mode, causing them to mate and produce a foal.

Once you have your baby horse or donkey, you can push it into the boat. Note that adult horses cannot ride in boats. You can also try to get the horse into the boat by riding it and jumping into the boat, then dismounting.

To make your baby horse or donkey grow faster, feed it apples.

Finally, you can put a chest and/or saddle on your horse or donkey. However, note that donkeys can only be equipped with a simple saddle, not the full covered armour.

Make the boat stuck so it doesn't move, then push the horse into the boat

To make the boat stuck so it doesn't move, you can trap the boat in a 2x2 structure and then push your horse into the boat. Here are some detailed steps to help you with the process:

• Build a 2x2 structure: Create a small enclosure using blocks that is two blocks wide and two blocks long. This will serve as a temporary pen for your boat.
• Position the boat: Carefully manoeuvre your boat into the centre of the 2x2 structure. Make sure the boat is securely trapped within the enclosure and cannot move.
• Lead the horse: Use a lead to guide your horse towards the trapped boat. Attach the lead to the horse and gently pull it towards the boat.
• Push the horse into the boat: Once the horse is close to the boat, walk into the horse repeatedly to nudge it towards the boat. You can also use the lead to guide the horse directly into the boat.
• Secure the horse: Once the horse is inside the boat, stuff it with apples or other food to keep it occupied and calm. You can also put a chest and/or a saddle on the horse to prepare for your journey.

By following these steps, you can successfully make the boat stuck and then push your horse into it, allowing for safe transportation across bodies of water.
