When I first heard that Minecraft was going to add Horses, I, like most people, was extremely excited. After the update came out, I realized some things could certainly be improved and added. Here what I think should be changed/added to Horses to make them better.
I'm pretty sure this is not a wish-list sense it all has to do with the specific topic of Horses. I separated them into numbers to help make the poles easier. If you really think it needs to be changed to look less like a list or reformatted, please tell me.
1. When Horses do their grazing animation, they should turn a grass block under them into a dirt block, like Sheep. I'm not sure why they don't do that now, it almost seems like it was going to be implanted but they ran out of time or forgot.
2. When Horses eat grass, they regain 1 heart of health.
3. Getting thrown off a Horse now deals damage. It will be considered fall damage and can be nerfed if wearing feather falling. 1 heart if by a Horse, 2 hearts if by a Donkey or Mule. This makes it more realistic and makes it a bit dangerous trying to ride a Horse/Donkey unprepared.
4. Donkeys and Mules are now harder to tame than Horses. When riding them, instead of the taming chance going up by 5%, for Donkeys it goes up by 3% and Mules it goes up by 4%. Aren't Donkeys and Mules known to be stubborn?
5. Chests can be taken off of Donkeys and Mules in their inventory just like saddles and horse armor. This means they will have a new slot for chests. All chest contents will be dropped on the floor if the chest is taken out.
6. You can see a mount's health when riding them in creative mode. Possibly have an option to turn it on or off in the settings menu.
7. Normal carrots can now be fed to Horses. They'll heal 1 heart, speed growth by 15 seconds, and increase taming probability by 2%.
8. Horses are now only be bred using apples and golden apples. Although gold is a renewable resource, it's still hard to obtain and farm in any way. Apples are still generally hard to find, but can obtained early in the game. Maybe that's the point: you can only breed Horses late in the game. It's just my OCD saying its weird for Horses to need gold to breed. This will most likely be frowned upon, I understand.
I was going to quote you, and give my opinions on every idea seperately, untill I relized I like almost all of them. Except for 8. I know gold can be a rare resource, but that's the reason golden food was chosen. Horses shouldn't be used early in the game. And 8 ingots of gold really isn't that high of a cost. Support overall.
Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, I figured I'd be the only one that would like number 8, that's fine. I finished putting up a pole on the top if you'd like to vote. I'm honestly surprised I'm the first (that I know of) to have these suggestions, at least on the forums.
Oops, double posted. Well, I guess I'll you guys you what you think sense I have a useless post. What about having a seperate spawn egg for Donekys? Does that fit well enough with this page to be added?
Recently, I started a Survival world, and I have gotten many resources. One such resource was a large pack of horses. However, I always thought something was lacking...
Now that I have read this, I know what was.
Full Support.
I also don't know whether or not this belongs here, but I would also like to suggest a slight upgrade in the breeding mechanics.
I do not know for certain, but I believe the current breeding goes like this:
(Horse 1 + Horse 2 + Imaginary horse with random stats) / 3
This is quite random, and it is difficult to breed great horses.
My suggestion is to make it more likely to receive a better horse:
Example 1: Formula changed to (Horse 1 + Horse 2 + Imaginary horse) / 3, then add a random integer of 1-5 to 1-2 of the foal's stats. If one stat is maxed, the extra points do not carry over.
Example 2: Formula changed to (Horse 1 + Horse 2 + Imaginary horse) / 3, but the imaginary horse must have better stats than either Horse 1 or Horse 2 (one is randomly chosen).
I really dislike having to breed 385975893467896349 times to get a 0.4 stat boost to a single stat.
But again, I really like your ideas as well, and give my full support.
As far as the breeding goes, I think that one of two things needs to be changed: No golden apples required or better chance at better horses.
Right now, getting the gold and everything to breed horses is difficult. To make this worse, however, once you breed them you end up with a horse that is more average. As Rioxas stated, the formula is
(Horse 1 + Horse 2 + Imaginary horse with random stats) / 3
except the random stats are weighted towards the center (more likely to be average than very good or very bad). This means that if you have 2 horses with great stats and you breed them, the newborn is almost guaranteed to have worse stats than the parents. If we need to use golden apples to breed, I think breeding should result in a better horse at least 1/5th - 1/10th of the time. If we don't need golden apples, however, I can't really complain about getting a bad horse from a regular apple.
It seems atleast one person did not vote yes or no for one of the ideas (#5), although I won't force you to, I will ask everyone to vote yes or no for each. Otherwise it sort of throws off the data. Thank you.
