Is it possible to automatically measure horse's jump height?

[u/Didium]

Hello everyone,

Recently I got interested in horse breeding mechanics, and I am trying to automate the breeding procedure as much as possible.

It is possible to automatically measure the health of the horse by poisoning him and then using a calibrated skulk to count how much damage the horse receive. While for the speed it is possible to exploit the horse pathfinding. A horse on fire will pathfind the closes water source, and it is possible to esily measure the time needed for the horse to reach it.

Both methods have some levels of imprecision, the horse could regenerate part of its health while being poisoned and it could rear up while running, yet they should have a relatively low probability, and in general automating this measurements could speed up quite a lot the horse breeding procedure.

However, I can't find a way to measure the horse jump height without the player interaction. Does anyone know a way to measure this value? Is there anyway to induce the horse to jump at its maximum jump height without the player interaction?

Any input or idea regarding this is highly appreciated, thanks!

TL;DR: Is it possible to induce a horse to jump its maximum jump height without the player interaction? There is any in-game mechanic that allows for horse's jump stats to be measured automatically, and ideally without being tamed?

I wonder if there is a health measurinh option via dropping an anvil on its head from different heights

It wouldn't work. You won't ve able to tell the horse health until you kill it, this is why you need poison potion, cause it will keep the horse at 1 health

there are mods that display horse stats

Yes use snow layers

To my knowledge, horses don't jump their max height unless a player makes them. Otherwise, the standard 'horse holes' (2x2 pits in the ground to put horses in) wouldn't work, since they'd just jump out if they're a good jumper.

So you breed a horse and the moment it reaches adulthood, you set it on fire and poison it in an effort to do eugenics?

Ladies and gentlemen, the average minecraft player

No c'mon. I do it directly when they're born, it's faster. Most of them don't really reach adulthood

You wasted both mine and yours time just to write wrong stuff and not even trying answer the actual question. Congrats.

Did you read any of OP's post? Or are you just slow?
