I would love if someone could make a plugin related to saddles. The general idea is that it would allow the player to control the movement of a saddled animal. Below is a simple list showing the essential requested features of the plugin and some suggested added features. Essential features: - Saddled pigs can be user controlled (with 1.5x movement speed or 2x, if possible) Suggested additional features: - Saddled pigs can be user controlled with 1.5x or 2x movement speed and normal fall damage - Cows can be saddled and controlled by the player, with normal movement speed but no fall damage (unless the player dismounts in midair) - Chickens can be saddled and controlled by the player, allowing the player to take flight with normal movement speed and no fall damage (unless the player dismounts in midair) - Perhaps possible item requirements to be able to control saddled animals?
I don't think you can add saddles to animals like cows, chickens, etc. without a client mod, but a pig mod might be possible. The only question is getting the right hooks. Quite possible, though. --- merged: Feb 12, 2011 3:30 PM --- What would be cool is a plugin that allowed you to spawn animals riding animals easily...
Well having that essential functionality of being able to control a saddled pig would be pretty awesome, if the speed bonus is possible that would be a great bonus too. Everything else is just brainstorming. I could've sworn I'd seen saddled chickens before, could've been a single player mod however.
Wow chickens in Minecraft are super strong. They can carry a whole player and fly! Anyway, is minecraft client even sending keystrokes when you are on pig?
Spawnmob doesn't work atm XD. I have tested pigs, and this type of plugin is not possible without directly editing entitypig objects. Bukkit doesn't register pigs as vehicles. Maybe you should submit a request on leaky.bukkit.org? As soon as this ability is added, I will definitely add controllable pigs to my skypirates plugin!
Yep! Bukkit doesn't hook in pig velocity, register it as a vehicle (I'm not even sure Minecraft itself does) or expose direct control of it, unfortunately.
Cant you just make the pig do little sequential teleports to where you want? It wouldnt be smooth, but it would work. Dont know if its possible thou, but I think it is, as I saw on spells plugin a comand where a pig would follow player position. Also, ride a squid would be... awsome.
Spawnmob may not be working, but Essentials's mobspawn does allow for mobs riding mobs *hint hint*. I'm quite fond of the Giants riding Chickens myself.
