am I the only one who thinks this is foolish? theyre taking the same path that jagex took with RuneScape: Kept adding stupid stuff to a game that was already really successful and made it an awful game. With mojang adding all this crap (Wolves, horses, redstone update, etc) i fear this is going to happen...
How was the redstone update bad? It was freaking awesome!! I am eager to see horses. But what we really need are llamas.
Which is why I'd rather stick with just the pigs. Quirky and at best flirting with making sense is how I like my Minecraft. Riding horses just seem so... normal.
NO! that's one of the main reasons people search for dungeons, if saddles were craft-able they would lose their appeal. If Mojang listened to the majority of the people who play their game it really would get ruined.
While I've found saddles in dungeons, the only time I actually wanted one (when I didn't have a couple lying around) I just went to the local village and bought it.

Why am I seeing butthurt about horses being added? And all this whining about how "Oh, Minecraft is turning into trash!" It is not. Minecraft is being ADDED to, not CHANGED or removed from. Don't like the new stuff? Don't use it. Don't like the newest versions of Minecraft? You can play the Beta and Alpha on the Curse client. But I repeat. Minecraft is only being added to. Recipes have not changed. Blocks have not been removed.

They should replace axes with jelly beans. Chopping down a tree with an axe is too normal!

You can already chop down trees with an egg. Axes are just the faster alternative. And chopping down the middle of a tree with an axe while the rest remains healthy and upright is exactly the kind of coy flirtation with sense-making I like in my Minecraft.
I give Mojang full credit, and benefit of the doubt in this case. These are the folks who added fishing rods for fishing... and Scorpion-esque "Get over here!" attacks. Their horses might be quite unique and charming and quirky and not-completely-sense-making.
The horses that just about everyone asks for, however, are banal and boring. If they go that route they might as well add guns in at the same time and call it the "Unimaginative Boring Rip-Offs of Every Game Ever Update".
Think about it for more than two seconds from a different perspective. Instead of following your MCredditor instinct and switching straight into idiot mode, imagine for a second what minecraft felt like a long time ago. Now, i know what you're going to say "but that was beta and this is full release the game changes blah blah blah." but the game didn't get popular for nothing, it was innovative, interesting and had a great game feel. Now, with all random crap current mojang team has pinned onto the game, minecraft feels more like a sad attempt at an RPG rather than a creative survival game. The interesting terrain has been flattened, we have two useless bosses, combat is a stunlock fiesta, fishing is still a terrible minigame that doesn't work during slight lag, and farming is bland. We don't need horses added to the game, mainly because we already have a mountable mob that works on land, but also because the same thing that happened with wolves and cats will happen. The mob will be mainly useless, having a use that is mainly outweighed by the problems plaguing its use. If that doesn't happen, the horses might be really useful, but it still doesn't change the fact that jeb messed up one mob simply to add an other to do its job. it's like if we added a creeper with more blast radius or a zombie who runs slightly faster.

Honestly, here's my two cents(bits since I'm a brony. Don't like it? Deal with it.jpg): Simple: One quote to all those who say they hate the fact that horses are confirmed for 1.6:
Never say you "hate" anything. If you don't like something, say "I don't care for ___________" or "I would prefer ___________" or "I would like it better if ___________".

I just took the Minecraft Noob test! Check out what I scored. Think you can beat me?!
whiny 10 years olds? im really sorry but you are really wrong! Ofcoruse there are some "whiny 10 years" olds who also want this but why not? you did not explain why is this bad. You just sayd we already have something we can ride but its not an excuse and i just cant understand what you mean by "I'm all up for having another mount in the game, but couldn't we have something that's not so cliché and over-used?" i try to translate it to chinese and back to english and now its clearer for me...
You're one of those people who was brought up with horses and got riding lessons, so you think every game must have horses. Hopefully, you will hate how the horses work. I hope you hate how the horses work because that would mean they wouldn't be terrible and won't turn the game into a "take care of your basically useless pet" simulator. We already have ridable pigs, the only people who want horses are the people who spam like idiots for them, mainly because they are idiots and can't come up with a good reason the game should have horses other than "horses are so cool i love them so much also let's add kitties and bunnies cuz theyr cute!1!1"
Hmm... unless Jeb is being clever. Maybe, just maybe, horses will be made unrideable. Out of anger, you kill it, and it drops... GLUE. The glue will be used to glue blocks together and make vehicles!
... I hope anyways

Personally, i'm more upset that jeb is just adding crap that the MC reddit audience screams for rather than the things that are actually required to make the game interesting, like better terrain and ect.

Instead of horses/yaks/snails/[generic land animal], maybe what we could ask for could be a new underground mob. A giant mole perhaps, or a worm beast. Something to distinctly add something new, something special, to the mining experience. I mean, this is Minecraft. We have the new awesome crafting, where's the new mining? Add a new mining animal! If anyone disagrees, please tell me. I would love some feedback to make this idea better!

Horses are cool.. would still like to see more world generation options like a normal world without the swiss cheese effect the cave and ravine over-generation make now. Some controls to adjust how many and what size the biomes are generated in a normal survival world would be nice as well. Just saying... all of my worlds seem to look the same now and I spend more time looking for a seed with a spawn that isn't in a crappy locale than doing anything else it seems.
Dude, I could totally go for a giant mole that digs tunnels. That would nicely cover fun, imaginative and useful all in one tidy package. perhaps the option to add a hopper and chest setup to the saddle to collect drops?
But no, something that crazy and fun is not to be. Jeb would rather pay attention to the spamming minority that think that just because they scream louder than everyone else they must be right.
To be honest, I didn't think about making it a mount... I was just thinking a neutral mob that you could encounter underground. Now that you mention it, that could be cool to ride a giant mole! Alternatively, it could just drop loads of dirt, stone, and random ores upon death. Also, you never know, if enough people get behind it, and if someone decides to make a mod of it, Jeb might pull a "piston" on us and ask us if he could add it to vanilla. Unlikely, but maybe!

Of course the best part about adding horses will be the inevitable adding of a 'glue' item drop from them used for crafting new things or repairing items.

You don't understand. It's a free update and we don't have to use it. That's why I'm so angry. 8)
If only people were as passionate over the state of the real world... Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth!
