So in the snapshot you can ride a pig with a saddle and control wher eyou go with a carrot on a stick. What if I see a cave I'd like to explore or need to do some mining? Instead of steering the pig into a fenced off area or building a small fence around it what if there was a hitching post? It could be a single fence block placed down in the world not connected to anything or maybe just use fencing for hitching. A re-usable hitching strap could be crafted using leather and string in any configuration. While holding the hitching strap in your hand you could activate the pig and a line could appear much like a cast fishing rod. Then after activating the pig you could activate the fence post and the strap would disappear from your inventory and appear as a line between the fence post and the pig. The pig could either stand still or ( the idea I like) the pig could wander wthin a certain amount of blocks of the hitching post. The strap could have a wear down meter much like other tools. When wanting to unhitch the pig activate the fence post it is hitched to and the strap will drop and can be picked up or would apear in your inventory. The strap could be breakable like most tools.The hitching stap could also be used as a leash by just activating the pig with it in hand and keeping it in your selected slot.
Ever try being courteous to other who may not have much experience with computers sheesh not much luck with this site everyone is a dirt block so far.Dirt block MY swear. I claim it in the name of insanity
Ya I never thought about using the leashing method of the hitching strap on other animals it would be good for wolves possibly cats as well although I find cats rather useless. Great idea NoNamesRight.
@Squidfather Like I said to someone else before, give him a break, he's new. Can't expect EVERYBODY to know EVERYTHING within their first few posts.
I apologize for the duplicate pig hitching forum.
