I found the appropriate thread for this and posted my opinion there, if you could delete this thread it would be great
I would really like horses in minecraft, possibly with a couple different breeds (colors, like sheep brown, black, white, spotted, etc...).
To get a horse you would have to tame it by throwing a saddle on a wild one and riding it until its tamed (like breaking the horse, think bucking bronco), or maybe the challenge is just putting the saddle on the horse as it runs faster than you and you have to use strategy to capture one.
Once captured it wont despawn (like the dogs that are being shown on youtube )
You would have to feed them of course, *oats* to keep them tame, and a tame horse will follow you when you dismount to say pick a .
After taming a couple horses you could keep them in your pen and after a set amount of time, say a few minecraft days or weeks, they have a foal, and depending on the colors of the parents it would determine if the foal is spotted or solid in color. The foal would have to be fed every day so that it will grow, and you'll know its grown because you'll be abe to put a saddle on it and ride it.
The horse that you have raised will never despawn or go wild, and will follow you like normal.
When riding a horse it would be faster than walking but slower than a minecart on a track.
Riding a horse through water would be faster than normal swimming but significantly slower than a boat.
The control of a horse would be the same as your normal walking movements, as well as jumping over obstacles.
Your horse would'nt be invulnerable, say if a blows up near your horse, or a shoots and hits it, it would be hurt and slow down. You would have to defend it and get it safe and feed it to for it to regain its health. If you don't feed it it will eventually die and you'll have to start from scratch either taming a wild one or raising one.
A problem might be if the saddle isn't craftable, you would then have to find a dungeon with a saddle in order to start taming horses. You wouldn't have to tame a horse if you didn't want to, it would just be another mob to run around, you could kill it if you so choose but it wouldnt drop anything.
They could spawn like a herd of cows, and run around and frolic on grasslands, but would be more rare. They might not spawn in say snow or mountainous terrain, only on the flat open areas so it's more of a challenge to find one to tame.
Well thats all I can think of about my dream horses. Let me know what you think
But, I don't want just a mod, I would seriously like Notch to add these to normal minecraft, not just have to download a mod like the Mo'Creatures mod which adds way to many mobs in my opinion. Yes, some of them are awesome, but I'm only stating my opinion that just horses (and not lions, sharks, bears, ogres ect...) should be added like the tameable wolves that they are posting videos about.
Dknight99 Yes, the ability to have a pack horse would be great, seeing as storage minecarts can only be used on tracks, which you don't have everywhere on your map, and require a powered mincart to move.
Whereas, a packhorse would give you that added bit of storage needed on long trips.
As for the restrictions on climbing, I agree with you. the horse should'nt be able to traipse up and down mountains like a goat, so you would have to teather him to a post or something at the bottom of the mountain if your going up and return to him there. And as for other terrain you could either go around or do what us mincrafters do best and make the terrain change for our beasts of burden.
