I read a topic on the survial mode part of this forum and got an idea. Not a VERY good idea, just sort of adverage.
Never suggested before, as far as I know. Anyway, Here is my idea.
People are ALWAYS complaining about not being able to control a pig with a saddle. So I came up with an idea.
You can right click a pig with A helmet of any tier or 1 to 2 pairs of boots of any tier. Or both. This let's you make
a sort of battle pig. It Can be controled by the player. Here is how it would work:
(1. If another player is holding wheat while you are on the pig, the pig will follow the player holding wheat. It makes me kind of sad that isn't already in the game.
(2. The amour gives the pig more hearts.
(3. You can wak at normal pig speed or "sprint". This is the same speed at a "Fleeing" pig. The pig WILL get tierd after a while and will stop sprinting for a certin ammount of time. And will be un-able to sprint while during this time. This time could be maybe 15 seconds. Or more. Maybe 30 or higher.
(4. Pigs must have one piece of armour in order to listen. Because IRL, pigs are pretty stuborn creatures.
(5. The pig won't attack, but the player can. Once the pig dies, it does drop the saddle, but not the armour.
(6. Pigs dislike leather more then any other tier. (They hate to see their cow brothers die )
(7. Pigs like GOLD armour more then any other tier. Just like there pigmen brothers in the nether.
Anyway, this isn't really aimed for the vanilla game, but I sure would like some feedback.
Notch said that any kind of rideable mob will never be controlled because it will take away the value of minecarts.
Good thing Jeb isn't Notch, eh?
While you say "pigs like gold armor because I like gold armor", it actually kind of makes sense since Zombie Pigmen wield gold swords. Although, i'd like to know what you mean by liking/disliking the armor.
But anyway, I like the idea. Riding into battle on my trusty pig sounds fun. Plus, if I ever get hungry...

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
The fact we can ride any mob is just pure luck, I'd say be thankful. As AlexanderValkyrie said, Notch made it pretty clear that stuff like this wasn't going to be added. And whilst Jeb took over, Notch's influence on the game still stands. Jeb has been pretty good about not taking away uses of other items such as minecarts.
Just as well, the idea seems silly. We can already put a saddle on them, they don't need armor too.
It's not that it's a terrible idea, in fact I love that you say they would like gold armor as their zombie cousins like gold armor and weapons.
All the same, I think I want pigs to stay derpy and with little serious use other than food.
So from me, no support.
Edit: I now regret giving this topic a bump, honestly my bad. Though you went into more detail this topic was just suggested not 2 hours ago.
On topic, this would be really great for SMP. Perhaps it uses the same controls as you, but it reduces hunger since you aren't walking/running everywhere. Also, if this is ever implemented hopefully whenever you jump in a confined space you won't start suffocating.

Ha ha, I didn't remeber about the gold swords of pig men. Nice catch. (They also have some rare drops. One being a gold helmet.)

But in case his mind can change I'd love to be able to tell my pig where the heck it can and can't go. Lol.

I almost died laughing at the end of your comment. Lol.

I need to get myself one of those...

Yes. I am. I'm a big Slam-a-cow fan.

Gold is pretty good armour. It just doesn't last long. I make gold helmets all the time. In SMP, I have them stock piled.
