With the nearly limitless modding API named Forge bringing forth more mods than many could imagine, I feel that something is missing. We've got custom tools with Tinkers Construct, we have a large list of well thought out ores from Metallurgy, we can go to space with Galacticraft, yet we still can't have pet enemy mobs. I was thinking of something along the lines of the old Coros' pets mod for MineCraft 1.1, where you could craft a relatively expensive wand to tame enemy mobs such as endermen. The deadly companions wouldn't despawn if you changed the difficulty to peaceful and would fight for you and such. As I rewrote the last paragraph ten times with it always being confusing grammar wise, I'll just write a list of things I think would be cool as features.
The taming wand only has 3 durability, and taming a mob would take one durability. Perhaps there could be different tiers of taming wands that have more durability but are a lot more expensive than the former.
You can ride tamed spiders/cave spiders
You can command another one of your tamed pet mobs to ride your tamed spider.. Zombie jockey, anyone?
You can command your tamed mobs to attack, follow you, move to a selected spot, or just stand there.
You can give humanoid mobs, for example endermen and skeletons, equipment such as armor and weapons by shift right clicking them while holding the desired equipment
For the mobs that have negative side effects in the day, gold helmets and diamond helmets protect them. For example, endermen won't teleport like crazy and zombies and skeletons wont burn.
As for how the commands will work, you will need to create another relatively expensive wand called something like Command Wand. Kind of like the power tool ability selection from Modular Power suits, you would hold shift and scroll the mouse wheel to scroll through the various commands. You could right click, for the sake of example, your pet zombie with the command wand to select your zombie. You would hold shift and scroll the mouse wheel, and again for the sake of example, to select the "Ride" command and right click your tamed spider. It would work similar to this for other commands.
As a second thought, the mod would cover all mobs in general. Imagine, a pig army. And perhaps you would need a special wand to tame enemy mobs and such. There are quite a few possibilities with this.
This idea would probably be a relatively small mod, therefore easier to update.
These are all idea's I'm just throwing out, feel free to change everything and anything you see here. I don't want any credit, if there is even the slightest chance of somebody wanting to make this happen.
