This is an idea that came to me after think of useless ideas over and over.
I first thought of an idea that was for *literal* fun,no catch and already in-game.
This was:Ride the pig.
I then though,"Well if riding the pig was useless maybe Notch would put something else for a useless/non-useless reason.
Description
Well you would tame the pig by giving it "slop" or pig food. Once tamed the pig will acquire a red leash and have 5 hearts above it.To show it is yours (The hearts are for your newly tamed pigs health) This pig will also NEVER DESPAWN! It can fight for you and follow you,and if equipped with a saddle you can control it,but left alone or without food it will die and you will come to your pig pen to a batch of either 1-2 meat and a saddle (if it was equipped with one,yes you get your saddle back)
Statistics
Food:
Meat-Won't die for 1 day
Bread-Won't die for 3 days
Cooked Meat-Won't die for 8 days
Apple-Won't die for 30 days
Slop-Won't die for 70 days
Golden apple-Won't die at all
Attacking:
Chicken-kills-no damage dealt to your pig
Pig-1 heart dealt to other pig to death-1 heart done to yours
Cow-.5 of a heart to death-.5 of a heart to your pig
Spider(Will attack back)-.5 of a heart (will deteriorate much slower) to death-1 heart to death to your pig
Creeper-.5 of a heart (slower than spider)-Won't get hurt unless creeper explodes(only near you)to death
Skeleton/Zombie-can't kill-.5 heart (deteriorates as slow as a spiders health) to death.
How to use:
Tame-Feed Slop
Follow-right click the pig
Attack-right click the enemy while Pig is following
Stop attacking-right click pig while it's attacking
De-tame pig-kill it
Living habits:
Easiest way to keep is to have fencing around it
It will wander away if left outside
If it is fed too often it will die as well and drop 5-6 bacon(obesity)
Im not sure ( I think im the first to figure this out), on the version 1.4.2 when you give a carrot to a pig theres hearts... Does this mean you can finally tame pigs !

I like this Pig Taming idea. Finally one that came by that I liked.
Don't Ask
But how you make the slop?
The crafting picture?
Corrected. Unless your pig is armor-plated, it ought to be as vulnerable as any other.
And the food stats need tweaking. Meat is plentiful, bread takes time and effort. The healing of the respective items ought to reflect that.
And why would its health regenerate like Peaceful mode? That's cheap and stupid.

About the hearts,thanks I thought I was typing for the chicken again.
Food is I forgot to add cooked meat which is better than bread but meat isn't.
Your right about the health,I was trying to think of a pro for it but it was bad.
Thanks for the feedback.
Welcome. :tongue.gif: Might want to edit those bits.
