Donkeys are typically stubborn creatures and wonder aimlessly over the ground. A donkey's behavior usually consists of a few steps of movement then stopping to look at its surroundings before resuming its aimless movement. When stopped, a donkey will, at random, bray. Younger donkeys have a higher tone than when mature. Donkeys do not have a particular pattern to their movement and are able to climb [[blocks]] that are at most a one-block change in height. They do however, stay in the vicinity of carrots and carrot plants and do not stray too far from these. | Donkeys are typically stubborn creatures and wonder aimlessly over the ground.

To mount and ride a donkey, a | To mount and ride a donkey, a blockhead must [[Crafting|craft]] and then use a [[Carrot On A Stick|carrot on a stick]] on the donkey. In doing so, a blockhead will climb and mount the donkey and dangle the carrot on a stick in front of the donkey to coerce it walk. The donkey walks at a faster pace than a blockhead by foot and is controlled by tilting the game device in the direction of travel. Donkeys are also able to jump over small obstacles and over changes of height that are up to at least three blocks high by swiping the game device UP while tilting the game device in the direction of travel. | ||
The carrot on a stick does not need to remain the selected item during a ride. It can even be shifted into a nested slot where it can't be viewed and the ride will continue uninterrupted. | The carrot on a stick does not need to remain the selected item during a ride.

Donkeys will swim if ridden into [[water]]. They aren't terribly fast swimmers, and sometimes appear to be completely submerged.
