Overview
Donkeys are slower than horses but they carry cargo: fit one with a chest and it gains fifteen inventory slots you can access from the saddle, which turns a long mining trip into one journey instead of three. Tame by mounting repeatedly until hearts appear, then saddle it. Breeding a donkey with a horse produces a mule. They cannot wear horse armour, and they jump poorly.
Donkey is one of the tameable mobs you will meet in Minecraft 1.21.4. Health sits at 30 points (15 hearts). Killing one drops 3 experience.
