It will be useful for the wilderness, as you can control the horses and make them jump, unlike with pigs And also they travel MUCH faster.
I already have it all planned out. Rope. Horse named Luna. :3 Mining tools. And then i will ride out 20k into the sunset in the Wastelands and i shall build a little hut. Tie my horse up where it will be safe. Then i will mine like a madman, ride back, and rinse and repeat. I shall become the richest man alive.
Just don't do any battle on Luna against creepers. Even with Diamond horse armor they are killed instantly by creeper 'splosions. I'm gonna name mine Applejack (When I sex my axolotls I might rename one and call it AppleJack xD) Or Blackjack. Percy Jackson reference.
Wastelands will be capped at about 4000 As for horses, we def intend to let you travel with them in town. also horses will be bound to the owner so they cant be stolen.
Yay, now I can snipe people on a horse and go ridiculously fast, because that is what I do, I grab a bow, and shoot people with it. OMG watabout tp-ing, will you be able to tp on a horse, and have the horse tp with you? because I feel that would be a problem, with giant empty res's I will fall in, and my horse will die, and if it survives, it wil be stuck
Horses can be made immune to indirect damage in town (so only the owner hitting it could kill it) TP'ing is going to be difficult. Minecraft does not support TP'ing with vehicles, but maybe we can fix that
or maybe, (although I imagine it would be difficult) there could be a command for horse tp to you, like /tp horse [playername]
or, because I suggested it (this is a joke by the way, but you know, implementing it would be kinda funny) /darksuperlord horse [playername]
This sounds like a good idea, what if someone wanted to sell/trade horses in the wild based on their appearance and/or perks?
I can't wait. My horse's name shall be........ Shadow. Or possibly Fluffy, or I could go super nerd and name it Shruikan or possibly Smaug.
