Hi all,
Recently the snapshot 13w21a-b came out with new features on the horses AI and how to (un)equip saddles and armour onto a horse. Personally I think this is a very nice addition. But I do believe this can be expanded on a bit.
Ever scince horses came out people have gotten into breeding and trying anxiously to get the best horse in the universe and laying bricks in their pants when they do. This also adds a very cool feature to the game, but how do you know that your horse has the qualities you want it to? Sure you can see the health bar, but it kind of limits it to that.
My suggestion is (obvious now) a way to find out the qualities of a horse. This could be in many forms, like on the horses info bar, where you can also equip armour and saddles, or even like test-strips that you use on the horse to find out its qualities.
I know that these things are not very relative to the minecraft theme, but I think that they can be very helpful to the idea of breeding horses. And it will sure make horses an even bigger feature to the game, although maybe it is kind of overpowering it a bit :(.
I actually don't support. Yes, it would be nice to see the stats, but it's kind of like enchantments. you don't know what you'll get until you try it out. I know that it's likely that they'll include statistics somewhere just like with weapons, but I don't support. It'll be handy, but I think that it'll ruin the feel.

Fair enough,but what if to discover these qualities you need something that actually costs some recources to make to get them? Not like 4 diamond blocks but something moderate, a saddle and some other horsey stuff. Even farther away from the Minecraft theme though :(.

I support this. How about you have to tame them as well? ^^ Just a thought.

People should marry for love, not convenience. And if Uther thinks an unhappy king makes for a stronger kingdom, then he's wrong because you may be destined to rule Camelot but you have a choice... as to how you do it. ~Merlin
1.) In real life you dont give a horse "test strips" to find its qualities, you ride it & test it.
2.) its not difficult to put a saddle on a horse and jump/run it around
This is MINECRAFT man!Realism,what on Earth is dat? Gameplay>Realism.

You know who can tell me something I already know? Me. All the time. I'm really good at telling me stuff I already know. I don't need help in that department. I don't know about others, but I can't imagine I'm alone here.

Yeah, I'd like hannab93 to find ONE game that's perfect realistic to the real world.
Anyways, I do thaink that it'd take away from testing the horses and just having fun with them, but instead you just try to find the best one rather than just having fun with them. It would ruin a lot of races and jousts because you know which horse is faster and which one is heavier and such.
