I know a bunch of people want more rideable mobs, and some even want to ride whales across the ocean. I think I just might have the solution to both.
Introducing... The Lord of the Sea.
It is a giant Fish that basically is a giant 3D texture of the normal "Fish", and is summoned using The Ocean's Horn.
How do you get an Ocean's Horn? Well, you would have a 5% chance to find a Conch Shell when digging in naturally spawned Sand near naturally spawned Water. You could right click it and it would make a trumpet noise, but it would be just for fun. To craft The Ocean's Horn, you would do this (numpad)
789 7=Clownfish 8=Fish 9=Salmon
456 4=Pufferfish 5=Conch Shell 6=Ink Sac
123 1=Any kind of Water Breathing Potion 2=Diamond 3=Lily Pad
When you right click with this in your hand, it will make a different/longer trumpet noise than the Conch Shell, and only if you are next to an Ocean, the Lord of the Sea will swim up to you and stay a little bit away from the shore/edge of where you are standing.
What is the use of the Lord of the Sea? Well, you can put a Saddle on it and ride it (only on/in water, duh), and it is 2.5x faster than a normal Boat at its top speed. It will instantly break any Lily Pads and kill any Squids that it comes in contact with. This is very useful for when you need to travel long distances over water.
I know this may not be that good of a suggestion, but with tweaking, it may just work and make those certain people happy. Feedback!
Not yet. We haven't had any good updates to the ocean lately, so I don't think this too good. I would rather tame a mob, then summon it, but that's my opinion. The conch shell looks like a good idea. I'd like to see uses for that.
