We are approaching 60 total custom horses in the Ultimate Unicorn Mod, which is pretty awesome. However, as I add new horses, and as I create new powers for horses (like Rainbow Smash's new Rainbow Beam power), I'm beginning to think that I need to add more options for controlling how your horse's powers work.
Naughty Destriers and Config Options
In the Minecraft Forum for the Ultimate Unicorn mod, I've also seen people asking for ways to keep destriers from breaking stuff. To help with that issue, I added some new configuration options to allow you to make destriers (and other horses) nicer to the environment when they are not being ridden. It occurs to me now that I should probably do the same with nightmares!
I don't think configuration options are enough, though. I think when you're riding your horse, you should have a fine-grained control over how her powers work, and that goes beyond just throwing on some Horseshoes of Gentling.
Flame Auras
In particular, I find myself getting a little concerned whenever I see someone make a custom horse with the "Flame Aura" power. It's an awesome power, but I often wonder if the person ordering knows what he is getting into, because the flame aura can burn up the player if he is not careful! Sure, you're protected when you are riding your horse, but if you jump off, that aura is going to burn you, too! (So put Horseshoes of Gentling on your horse before jumping off to turn that Flame Aura power off!)
The Solution - A Better Inventory Screen
The best idea I've come up with to improve the current situation is to modify the Magical Horse Inventory Screen. I'm looking into adding checkboxes to the inventory screen so you can turn on and off the various powers your horse has. Dangerous powers like Flame Aura will be turned off by default, and will deactivate if you jump off your horse.
This will take me a little time to put into the mod, but it's high on my priority list.
No one has complained about the Flame Aura yet, but I want to make sure that I'm giving people the best possible experience with my mod. For those of you playing, I appreciate your support, and I hope you are enjoying the mod!
Please post a comment if you have anything to say about this issue!
I found an easter egg i think because I got something called a celestial horse, when i cross bread all of them its real cool!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds cool! Define crossbred "all" of them, please? I really want to see that...
DeleteThat's the Celestial Seahorse, and it's one of the Ultimate Unicorns! Good job finding it!
DeleteThere are four more Ultimate Unicorn breeds you can discover, and the Zebra breed. If you want to take a shortcut, you can always check out the cheats page.
I found it without even knowing it was a thing lol, it's my favourite horse now!
DeleteSpecial request to make horses with flaming hooves and fish tails be able to swim in lava like they do in water? I bred a horse like that for Nether exploration, but while immune to the lava, she just sank and I was forced to dismount. It was the same thing as trying to ride a non-Hippocamp in deep water.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea. I'll put this on the big list of things I need to do, and I'll try to get it implemented in the near future.

ReplyDeleteYou should make a separate kind of breed to where you can get the normal breeds( Pegasus, Unicorn,etc... ) and they should have a crystal-like appearance.
