There are currently 2 vehicles in Minecraft; Boats, and Minecarts. Boats are limited to water, and Minecarts are limited to tracks. I am proposing a sled. Here is how it is crafted:
= Boat
So then, you need to take dogs, at least one, and use string to tye it to the sled. I would use rope, but I don't want to suggest more than one thing. You use the string, right click the dog, and then right click the sleigh to attach the dog to the sleigh.
Then, you need to right click the sleigh. It will bring up a menu with several options:
'Release all dogs into 'follow' mode' 'Release all dogs into 'sit' mode' and 'Get in the Sleigh'.
It will also have a little box, like the one on the right side of the 9x9 crafting table where the crafted items go. You can put up to 64 meat in it.
If you click "get in" then the sleigh will now correspond with your movements. Your speed is WolfSpeed times Number of wolves. So one wolf won't help at all, while 12 will make you a speed demon.
However, this alone would be EXETREMELY OVERPOWERED. So, here are some setbacks:
Your sleigh cannot "jump". This is very logical. So you can't just "jump" that ravine with lava at the bottom.
Your sleigh can however, go up 1 block of height. So it can go <-- This way in the following diagram:
Also, to keep you from flying at 100 wolf speed, you are limited to 12 wolves a sleigh.
And finally, that "meat box" has a use. For every 100 blocks you go, you lose sleigh Wolves times Meat. So if you go 300 blocks, and you have the maximum of 12 wolves, the box was deducted 36 meat. This will happen automatically. However, you have to stop the sleigh (By pressing escape key) and get out to fill up the meat box, which is limited at 64.
The last solution to the overpowering problem works the best. After hunger was added, meat became a precious resource. This is for after you have become well established, and have a well to-do meat farm, and it also gets rid of the wolves that sit in your house all day and bark,bark,bark,bark, until you can hear them all over the park.
On a final note, as for gravity, if we return to the ravine, and we try to jump over it even though we know we can't, and half or more of our wolves fall in, all the other wolves, and the sled to, fall in as well. So if we had 12 wolves, and 6 fell in, we and the other dogs go byebye. If only 2 fall, then they will jump around and hopefully get up onto flat land before any more fall in. If the sled falls in, all the wolves fall with it. Wolves take their normal fall damage, and the boatsleigh(I am a bit tired right now :mellow.gif: ) will survive 6 blocks down, and still be around, but if it takes 7 or more, it is destroyed. And the damage isn't transitive. If it had wolves with 50000 health, it could keep jumping down 5 block drops.
Constructive critcisim is not only accepted, it is encouraged.
This is pretty awesome :3 Though if you were ,to say, shot by a skeleton, why not fall off and the dogs slide to a stop? Maybe we'll see this one day but I agree limiting vehicals to tracks & water doesnt make them very effective for the most part.
Maybe there could be two separate items: a sleigh and a cart. The cart uses wheels instead of skis. Wheels are crafted thus:
And then the cart is crafted by placing a wheel under a boat.
Here's the difference between the two:
Sleighs go full speed over snow, ice, and sand (and short stretches of grass, such as under trees), but go 10 times slower over everything else.
Carts are the exact opposite.

I like this, but like my idea of using rope instead of string, it makes it a bit complex. I'll add in a poll for you tomorrow.

It would be logical. All things go faster over ice, and maybe the snow idea.

Retired StaffI think the formula for speed should be slightly less than that.
More like:
yourSpeed + (wolfSpeed/(wolfCount - 1) + wolfCount) = totalSpeed
For example:
Wolf Count: 1
Total Speed: 2
Wolf Count: 2
Total Speed: 4
Wolf Count: 3
Total Speed: 4.5
Wolf Count: 4
Total Speed: 5.3333333333333
Wolf Count: 5
Total Speed: 6.25
Wolf Count: 6
Total Speed: 7.2
Wolf Count: 7
Total Speed: 8.1666666666667
Wolf Count: 8
Total Speed: 9.1428571428571
Wolf Count: 9
Total Speed: 10.125
Wolf Count: 10
Total Speed: 11.111111111111
(I think I over-thought it :tongue.gif: )
(Up to a hundred total speeds: http://bit.ly/zwXYnj)
Note that this formula will slowly decrease in power over time, making the first few ones stronger than the last few ones.

Um, this isn't a mod, and that is why we need a limit.

Retired StaffSuggestion, mod, whatever :tongue.gif: (I'm used to replying to mod suggestions)
Yeah, a limit of about 10 sounds reasonable, but you're the one suggesting it. What do you think the limit should be?

12. No idea why, but I have a hunch it's because of the 12 reindeer that pull santas sleigh.
