Donkey

Mobs & entity

The donkey is a passive animal that spawns naturally in six biomes, including meadows, plains, savannas, savanna plateaus, and sunflower plains. It does not attack players and can be found wandering in these open areas.

Players can kill a donkey to collect the leather it drops. A spawn egg for the donkey also exists, which allows players to place one directly into the world.

Stats

Mojang publishes these numbers in the Bedrock behaviour pack (bedrock-samples); the Java edition keeps them in code, not in any data file. Most values match across editions, but not all — treat them as the Bedrock figures.
