Perhaps you could have named pigeon perches that would be I the pigeon GUI rather then typing someone's name and it would land there.

Another mod idea would be plane packages that send down chests on parachutes

I made a reply to both of you, but since it's gone:

@ThesaurusRex84:
Even if the pigeon is in a different pose, why should it's legs be the same length as it's feet? It makes no sense.

@PacozzTacozz:
That is already in the post.

Air Planes in minecraft? Forget it.

You ever seen a bird, man?

This picture shows just how much the foot goes out from the leg... I think I see what you mean now though.
I will not use your model, but I may make some modifications to mine.

That's okay, it's just an example anyway xD

What happens when people kill your pigeon ?
And i think they should spawn in villages like irl u see pigeons in popular places where people visit .

Anyways support . i would still prefer exotic parrots .

They get the items! If people get to your pigeon:
A: You put your perches in a bad place
B. They are Rambo

Support for sure! Great idea, especially for multiplayer. It's like mailboxes!

One thing. Do the slots take in any item at any amount?

Could you fill all slots with 64-stacks of gold blocks?

YOu could at the moment. I have been thinking of changing this.

so perhaps in order to balance this you wouldn't send them to another player but instead have them return home like pigeons in real life

How does this balance it?

Perhaps you shouldn't allow any blocks to be carried by pigeons, just items.

I don't know if this is a joke or not (Judging by the video you linked me to. This suggestion lead to me watching it.) but, I think if anything, I should just reduce the amount of items it can carry.

I wasn't joking, but I thought the similarity was funny enough to include. Birds carrying a cubic meter worth of a block is still silly.

It's actually pretty silly for even a player to carry that. I'ss probably just limit to a stack of 16 blocks.

Partial support. As has been said before, the large amount of chunks being loaded would cause lag but I like the idea of long distance transport even though ender chests were invented for that. I suggest removing the pigeon and using a "Hawk" as well which can do the same thing pigeons do but can also hunt and bring back hunted items.

Large? This issue was sorted ages ago! Everybody reads the comments, but never the op!
You can't send items to other players with enderchests. Nobody except you can access your enderchest.
So change every single thing including the name, detail, and pictures, just so that the pigeons hawks can do something that hardly matters at all if you have a beginners farm? Nah, don't think I'll do that sorry.
Thanks for supporting anyway!

I really love this idea, it would make multiplayer so much more fun!
Lots of people have been talking about the lag they might cause from loading chunks, well I have a solution:
If a player is a very long way away, then instead of flying all that way and loading all the chunks, the pigeon could just fly out of the players render distance and then teleport outside of the receivers render distance.

Everybody are talking about the lag issue that was FIXED on about page 2-3.

Does the Pigeons drop something after death (Exept the item it has in it)

Possibly a few 1-2 feathers.

Awesome idea, full support. I don't have time to read the entire thread, but I assume the preferred method is that of someone's on the first page, who suggested the pigeon despawn after it gets a certain distance from the player, then spawns again. I think that's the definite best way to go about this.

I've been meaining to add that for ages. I am adding some new pictures to the thread today, so expect a few changes.
