Horse Transportation: Boating With Horses In Minecraft

Transporting a horse across water in Minecraft can be tricky, especially as it seems horses can no longer be placed in boats as of the 1.19.81 update on Bedrock. However, there are a few workarounds. One method is to push a baby horse into the boat and then stuff it with apples to help it grow. Alternatively, you can ride your horse, jump into the boat, dive underwater and then right-click the boat from below. You can also try to push your horse into the boat by walking into it repeatedly, or by using a lead to guide it.

Horses can be pulled along and tied up using a lead

To use a lead on a horse, you will first need to find a horse in the game. Horses are usually found in the Plains biome. Once you have located a horse, select the lead in your hot bar and leash the horse by tying one end of the lead to it. The game control to tie the lead will depend on the version of Minecraft you are playing. For example, for the Java Edition (PC/Mac), you would right-click on the horse, while for the Pocket Edition (PE), you would move your pointer over the horse and press the Leash button.

With the lead tied to the horse, you can guide its movements and get it to walk in the direction you want. You can also tie the other end of the lead to a fence post to tether your horse. This will prevent it from wandering off.

Additionally, leads can be used to tow horses in two ways. Horses can swim behind a boat by using a lead, or a boat can be attached to a lead and then towed by a player swimming or riding another horse. This can be useful for transporting horses across large bodies of water.

It's important to note that as of the 1.19.81 update, horses can no longer be placed inside boats in the Bedrock version of Minecraft. However, you can still transport horses across water by using a lead to tow them.

Horses can swim behind a boat by using a lead

Horses can be pulled along and tied up using a lead. They can be towed in two ways: Horses can swim behind a boat by using a lead, or a boat can be attached to a lead‌ [Bedrock Edition only] (before putting the horse in the boat) and the player can swim to tow the boat containing the horse.

To attach a lead to a horse, simply hold the lead and right-click on the horse. The lead will attach to the horse's collar, and you can then pull the horse along behind you.

To get a horse to swim behind a boat, first attach the lead to the horse as described above. Then, take the other end of the lead and attach it to the boat by right-clicking on the boat while holding the lead. Once the lead is attached to both the horse and the boat, the horse will automatically swim behind the boat as you move it through the water.

It is worth noting that this method of transporting horses only works with adult horses. Baby horses can fit inside boats, but adult horses are too large and will not be able to board the boat. Additionally, this method only works in the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft. In the Java Edition, horses cannot be attached to boats and must be transported by other means, such as by leading them across land or towing them behind a boat while swimming.

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

As of the 1.19.81 update, horses, donkeys, and mules can no longer be placed in boats in the Bedrock version of Minecraft. This has led players to find alternative ways to transport horses over water.

One method is to attach a lead to the horse and tow the horse by swimming while holding the lead. This method is stable as long as nothing comes between the player and the horse. It is also possible to ride the horse and jump into the boat, then dive underwater and right-click the boat from underneath.

Another option is to place the horse in a minecart and then place the minecart inside the boat.

Horses can be transported in boats by riding the horse into the boat and then clicking it from underneath the water

This technique was previously possible in the Bedrock version of Minecraft, but as of update 1.19.81, horses can no longer be transported in boats in this edition. Players who wish to transport horses by boat in Bedrock will need to find alternative methods, such as using a lead to tow the horse or finding a larger boat that can accommodate the horse.

In the Java edition of Minecraft, adult horses cannot be transported in boats at all. Only baby horses can fit into boats in this version. Players seeking to transport adult horses by boat in Java will need to find workarounds or alternative methods, such as using leads or finding larger boats.

Horses can be transported in boats by clicking the boat from underneath the water without needing to ride the horse in first

Horses can be transported in boats in Minecraft, but only if they are babies. If you try to ride an adult horse into a boat, it will either hover on top as if the boat was a solid block, or bounce off the boat and drift into the water. However, there is a way to transport adult horses in boats. All you have to do is ride the horse, jump into the boat, and then dive underwater and right-click the boat from underneath. This method will allow you to transport your horse without needing to ride it in first.

It's important to note that this method may not work in the Java edition of Minecraft. Some players have reported that they are unable to get their horses into boats in this version of the game. This may be due to a change in the game mechanics or a bug. If you're playing on the Java edition, you may need to find alternative ways to transport your horse, such as using a lead to drag it along or towing the horse behind the boat.

Additionally, some players have suggested that a larger boat specifically designed for transporting horses would be a welcome addition to the game. This could be a good option for players who want to travel with their horses but don't want to risk them falling into the water.
