When ever I start playing my car turns invisible after a while and then minecraft has a million missing chunks. Minecraft wont crash its just not right.
Animals should never de-spawn(death is different).
Riding a spider would be fun, they should despawn if you leave area though.
Benefits to animal mounts:
They go same speed as you do(what's the benefit? you don't take energy walking, jumping or sprinting if it has the functionality)
Pig: Is able to swim faster.
Cow: I agree with the idea of a pouch that holds items.
Sheep: Can color like you said.
Dog: Can sprint.
Something you can try, but you will lose any mods or addons this way. Start Minecraft. When you get to the login screen, put a checkmark in Force Update. That will reload the main minecraft files from the server.
And for that other having issues with waypoints vanishing. I fixed mine tonight. I went into my minecraft folder, then opened mods, then rei_minimap, you'll see some files like this [worldname].DIM0.points (Worldname is the name of the world you created or downloaded and lost your waypoints on. Delete the one that matches the world you're having trouble with. Re-start minecraft and go into your game. Start saving waypoints again.
This fixed mine, hopefully it'll fix yours.
I dont really mind giving up my mods. I just want my minecraft, thanks for the help!
