While walking through a tundra biome today and then after a huge frozen ocean, I realized how useful a dog sled would be.
First things first, this is a dog sled:
This picture shows a sled in which the "driver" has to remain standing up, but there is another one where you can sit in it. I am not sure which one would be the best for MC, but I believe the crafting pattern could be the same for both of them.
As Notch recently implemented wolves, I believe this is an extremely fun/practical way to move around on snow terrains.
This is how you would craft it:
The sled:
[] []
The rope: [] []
[] []
[] []
(Where = string)
The sled would be placed anywhere like a minecart or a boat, then you would attach it to your wolves using the rope. How would you do this? Not sure, but I am pretty sure someone can give a good idea. There more wolves you got attached to it, the faster it will go.
Before haters start hating, yes, there are some things which must be taken in consideration first:
-Can it go uphill/downhill?
-Should it only be used over snow/ice?
-Should it's condition degrade over time?
Crafted with wood. 1.5x player speed. Works on snow, ice, and land, with (x)% chance of breaking apart on non -snow/ice terrain. Drops 3 plank blocks upon breaking.
And yeah, tundras would need a major size increase. All biomes do, really.

The sled:

The sled would be placed anywhere like a minecart or a boat, then you would attach it to your wolves using the rope. How would you do this? (Use the rope on the dog when the dog is within 2 blocks of the sled) Not sure, but I am pretty sure someone can give a good idea. There more wolves you got attached to it, the faster it will go. (8 wolves = Santa Claus is Coming to Town achievement :biggrin.gif:)
-Can it go uphill/downhill? (No. It would only be for flat surfaces. This way minecarts aren't ruined by it. They could go downhill, but if you went down too steep a hill your dogs would get damaged.)
-Should it only be used over snow/ice? (Yes! We have to make sure it isn't overpowered, and it should also be realistic.)
-Should it's condition degrade over time? (No. Neither boats nor minecarts do this.)

There, I solved your thread. With this,
I like it
I second that like. If tundras were much bigger, this would be a really fun addition imo.

Your site's motto should be: "I haven't been outside in weeks!"

If there ever was a remote possibility that I would open Minecraft and see rocket ships and lightsabers, I'd much sooner take up alcoholism.

Search. It was everyone else's idea first, and it sucked every time.
Ehh, I see a few faults. This has potential to be overpowered and underpowered simultaneously, plus you can also use things like horses to achieve the same thing.

That's up to you. Discuss.
I hope you like this idea.
spell check died today...
I am not sure. Maybe it could go up one block at a time, like if it were a ramp or something.
Tundras are mostly flat land.
Incompetence is a plague. I am the cure.

Maybe when he implements seasons and such the biomes will change.
And plains are too, but you don't see them big n' flat.

I see tundras flat, hence "Tundras are mostly flat land."
If plains were mostly flat, you'd see it.

Necromancy.
This is an interesting concept, though it might be a bit hard to implement.

Maybe U can check if a thread is two years old before bumping it from the grave?
