I think a player should be able to tame animals to use as a traveling companion. They should help out in combat and may be able to help dig as well. Also right clicking on them might expose a small inventory and possibly even gear. I really want a war pig! maybe you could mount a torch on one to carry as you spelunk?
It has been mentioned several times before. People say Notch has confirmed horses and other animals, but I don't have a source at hand. But it seems like a safe bet.
I want a cat.
Or a dog.
There could be a collar item that you could place on an animal to make it never de-spawn, and also follow you. Each animal could have a 'bravery' variable, a random number chosen to determine how willing it is to help you in battle or flee when things get too heavy.
For instance, cats and sheep and such would have a very low number for that, dogs and pigs and such would have the highest.
Lock the animals behind a door in your home to keep them inside.

Oh yeah, since I posted that reply, I gathered all those sources. Notch seems very excited about the idea of farming animals, rides and even taming certain mobs. He really liked the idea of having a friendly spider. I want that. :biggrin.gif:
The path finding would be the hardest obstacle leap that Notch would have to come across if he did make these "pets" follow you. I like theNakedFanatic's Idea of having to corral certain animals and use Guard dogs to keep them in or other things out. On a side note, why don't enemies attack animals?

I am deathly afraid of my evil spider skin that I have in my game now. I would rather NOT have one that follows me around.

Light travels faster than sound, thats why people seem bright until you hear them speak.
the really problem with having pets following you is the path finding. They would probably fall in to holes or in case you go over a wall they wold have problems finding you.
Maybe we should have farm animals, like pigs chickens and cows, that you need to keep walled. Have guard animals that in this case it would be the tame dogs, that would basically guard where ever you put them, maybe you would have chains that you would use on them so they guard that specific area. And then you would have traveling animals that would be horses or camels(since we will have the desert biome), that basically you would ride them and would be you that would control theirs movements, of course that when you unhorse then they could maybe run away in case there are enemies attacking them or something like that.
Why not do it where it uses the exact same path that you use. and it jumps when you did at that spot.
Also if it dies it spawns where your spawn point is. But you can`t have more than about 1-5 pets.

I think that if i Mob that is with you dies it should stay dead but drop what ever your controlling it with (Eg. Collar, leash, what ever notch decides to use).
But i like the idea of copying your every move. :biggrin.gif:
