Breeding horses in the game can be a complex and rewarding experience, with players often seeking to discover new or rare variations. A recent theory suggests a fascinating interplay between “MoC” (presumably a mod or in-game system for horses) and vanilla Minecraft horses, potentially unlocking specific breeds previously only obtainable through rare spawns or specific breeding combinations. This guide delves into the details of this theory, offering insights for players looking to expand their stables.
One of the core tenets of this theory revolves around the idea that to obtain a specific set of six horse breeds, players should exclusively breed with MoC horses. This approach aims to bypass the natural spawning mechanics of certain horses, which have reportedly been removed from the game in version 1.6. By limiting the breeding pool to MoC horses, players might be able to generate these six breeds. The theory posits that without access to these specific MoC horses, players would only encounter four types of horses, making the creation of certain hybrids, like a Zorse (zebra-horse cross), impossible due to the lack of a suitable MoC horse to tame a zebra.
The theory further elaborates on specific breeding outcomes. It’s suggested that by pairing a horse designated as ‘F’ (presumably a specific MoC breed) with various vanilla Minecraft 1.6 horses, players can achieve unique results. While most pairings with generic MC 1.6 horses may result in a clone of horse ‘F’, a particularly interesting outcome is noted when ‘F’ is bred with the vanilla MC 1.6 pure black horse. This combination is said to yield a “cow horse,” which bears a striking resemblance to the tier-one horses found in earlier versions of MoC.
The experimentation doesn’t stop there. Another observation within this theory highlights the successful breeding of a spotted tan MoC horse, similar to an old white MoC horse, by pairing horse ‘F’ with a plain white MC 1.6 horse. This suggests a direct lineage or influence from older MoC horse appearances.
A practical tip for breeders is also shared: when breeding two different types of horses, feeding only the MoC horse a pumpkin can initiate the breeding process. This is contrasted with breeding two vanilla 1.6 MC horses, which reportedly requires golden apples. This distinction in feeding mechanics could be a crucial detail for players aiming for specific outcomes.
The underlying theory proposes that DrZhark, likely the developer or curator of the MoC horses, has replaced the original black and white MoC horses and donkeys with their vanilla MC 1.6 counterparts. The theory suggests that all other MoC horse breeds remain consistent, with the exception that the formerly “tier one” horses can now be bred, thus losing their unique status. A visual aid, a chart, is referenced to illustrate these relationships, though its specific content is not detailed here.
Players are invited to consider this theory and share their thoughts on its validity. An interesting post-scriptum mentions a potential glitch or an unachieved outcome: the inability to obtain a “fairy horse” despite using both pegasus and unicorn with an “essence of light.” This query is open to the community for input on whether others have encountered or resolved this particular breeding challenge in the current version.
It’s important for players to note that while these theories offer an exciting avenue for exploration within the game’s breeding mechanics, outcomes can sometimes vary. The intricate system of genetics and breeding in games like Minecraft, especially when influenced by mods, can lead to unexpected results, making continued experimentation and community discussion valuable for uncovering all the possibilities.
