noticed this as well. Also horses follow you if you are holding bread.

This issue no longer affects potato or beetroot. The description has been updated to reflect this.

Horses are suppose to eat bread aren't they? I know wheat and apples attract horses,Wheat is not a bug. The carrot on a stick is too funny!

No horses are not suppose to eat bread according to the official Minecraft Wiki. Horses are not suppose to follow you even if you have any type of food on hand like wheat or apples. Having horses follow player when having food on hand makes the lead useless since its more easier to obtain.

In 1.0.0 newly spawned horses will not follow you when you're holding food. However, Donkeys and Mules still follow.

Sorry, in 1.0.0 on Window 10, horse still follow you when you're holding bread, wheat,... I think the issue still going on.

Yes tamed horses, donkey, mules will follow you while holding any of the above items. I was just saying in pc java you can feed them bread. Or they changed it? But yes they shouldn't follow you. It's only tamed horses etc.

(Fixed in an earlier version)

I discovered that Mules and Donkeys as of 1.17.2 still follow you when holding bread. you cannot feed them but they still follow you.
