Donkey (mob)

Donkeys are mobs similar to horses that, when tamed, can be ridden and equipped with chests.
== Biology ==
Adult donkeys have a width and length of 1.4 blocks, and a height of 1.6 blocks. Foals, on the other hand, start at half the size of adults and in Bedrock Edition, they grow progressively larger as they age. Donkeys do not undergo any physical changes once they have been tamed, unlike wolves and cats. However, tamed donkeys can be distinguished by equipping them with various items. 
Donkeys are distinguishable from horses due to their smaller size and long, upright ears. Their manes are not prominent, but are instead depicted directly on the back of their heads and necks. All donkeys have gray-brown coats with darker ankles, ears, manes, and tails. They can be outfitted with a basic saddle, as opposed to full armor, and can also carry chests to hold up to 15 stacks of items.
Interestingly, donkeys with saddles or chests do not display these items when they are invisible, setting them apart from most other creatures in the game.
== Spawning ==
In the Java Edition, plains and savannas are home to a varying number of donkeys. While 1-3 donkeys can be found in plains, only 1 donkey is present in savannas. Additionally, donkeys can also be spotted in meadows. It is worth noting that 20% of all donkeys that naturally spawn are foals. However, when using spawn eggs, all donkeys appear as adults.
On the other hand, in the Bedrock Edition, donkeys exclusively spawn in plains when the light level is 7 or above. The number of donkeys that can be encountered ranges from 2 to 6.
== Behavior ==
Donkeys can be seen wandering aimlessly, pausing from time to time to exhibit various behaviors such as rearing, swishing their tails, or bending down as if to graze. In contrast to sheep, the act of eating does not result in any grass being consumed. When approached by a player, a donkey may turn its head to observe. Interestingly, any donkey, whether domesticated or wild, can be easily led without resistance. On the other hand, if an untamed donkey is attempted to be saddled, it will rear up and kick its front hooves. Donkeys maintain a calm demeanor, even when provoked.
Donkeys are known to occasionally make a braying noise.
Fully grown donkeys are unable to ride in boats; however, young foals can.
In contrast to other passive creatures, donkeys have the ability to slowly regenerate their health.
== Trivia ==
* If a player picks up leather dropped by an adult donkey, they receive the "Cow Tipper" achievement. This is due to the achievement being given when a player picks up any piece of leather instead of being given when killing a cow.
* A player riding a donkey is dragged along if the donkey is being pulled by a lead, and can even be lifted up in the air in the same way.
* Using commands, it is possible to make a donkey with no armor slot, but also no way to equip a chest.
* In the Bedrock Edition, the donkey can be transported in a boat by riding the donkey and jumping into the boat then dismounting (leaving the donkey behind in the boat) and activating the boat from underneath/underwater. Attempting to activate the boat to pilot it from above results in the player being mounted on the donkey again rather than being placed inside the boat to pilot it.
