Quick guide on how to breed horses:
Rules for breeding:
-The horses to breed should be kept close (no more than 4 blocks away)
-There should be no other horses around (8 blocks)
-You have to feed them both to start the process (suitable foods are mushroom soup or pumpkins)
-Both horses should be fertile (i.e. they accept pumpkins/soup)
-you can not be too close (4 blocks) or they won't breed
-it takes time (about 1/2 Minecraft day)
-the results of the breed depends on the genetic 'value' of the horses:
light horses = 1
brown horses = 2
dark horses = 3
unicorns = 4
pegasus = 5
packhorse = 6
nightmare = 7
black pegasus = 8

Depending on the sum of both parents' genetic value you have a CHANCE of getting a rare breed:
-sum equal 7 = chance of getting a packhorse
-sum equals 9 = chance of getting a nightmare
-sum equals 10 = chance of getting a pegasus
-sum equals 12 = chance of getting a black pegasus
-two packhorses won't give birth to a black pegasus
-if the sum is none of the above, you will get a random horse with genetic value 1-5

Does that mean you can randomly get a pegasus from breeding two random horses because it's genetic value is 5?

I will. I'm fixing bugs/adding stuff at the moment, I'm planning on changing the first page to make it clearer for every single mob. I'll do that later. In the meantime, you'll have to figure out stuff.

If only you could get the big cats to lay down or sit, hate having my white tiger follow me off a cliff and almost dieing lol.

Hope Dr. Zhark doesn't mind me posting this, but I just found this bug hilarious. I'm aware most people already know about it, but it caught me off surprise big time! Even though the bug was unintentional, it is still awesome!
Warning: there is swearing, I apologize for it but if swearing is inappropriate to you, you've been warned it's in the video

sorry one more question, what is that mod that allowed you to give yourself torches and lava?
