While You Were Playing...

Beautiful just beautiful, I'm not talking about the video either hehe lol, but I do look forward to this it'll be awesomeness.
 
Justin and I tried to test this out on a server, but it appears horses crash servers so no PvP mounted tests yet :P
 
This is one of the most amazing things to ever be added to the server. I only wonder if you could do more than ride them (Ex. Naming, Pvp nature of horses.)

I have tested out mounted PvP against mobs and it is quite fun ^.^
another feature that most people overlook is the Ropes/Lassos.
you can tie animals up and lead them around, even when you are on horseback or flying, which will make convoys of animals interesting new features :)
 
Good point grid and zack they are interesting things to think about but over all this is going to be totally awesome
 
Ahhh my Childhood Zelda memorys now being brought to life in my favorite Server. thank you (H) ;)
They can be brought further, too. If you rename a spawn egg and use it of the Horse, when you come up to the horse, a tag above it's head will show it's renamed spawn egg name. Name the egg Epona,
Grab yo tights and sword,
then toot your flute on that thing. (party)
 
Messing around with this in single player, and I found some cool things:

They have 3 types of armor: Diamond, gold, and iron.
There are also Donkeys and Mules.
It takes quite a bit to tame from what I've seem.
They auto climb one block.
They have a power jump
They have hunger and heath regen, like a regular player
Move much faster than pigs (Duh)
 
I kinda wish they'd stop adding new things and start working on fixing Minecrafts numerous performance issues.
Maybe after minecraft reaches the 2.whatever update. Still a long way away but I recon by then there will be enough feature that all of 2.0-2.9 could be dedicated to fixing issues of any kind and making miner adjustments. Then in minecraft 3.0 they could start adding stuff again. Note, minecraft 2.0-2.9 would probably not last as long as 1.0-1.9 if this sort of thing was done.
 
We could also hold horse riding and jumping competions with these animals!
 
I have been thinking on this, and im deciding whether to be an equestrian enthusiast or if ill just go Genghis Kahn on everyone. I also can't wait to breed 'perfect horses' to sell for large sums of money, as well as horse races! Yay for betting on horse races!
 
I think I will remain anti-horse. You don't just learn how to ride an animal overnight.
