Description
Horses like this one have many uses.
Horses are ridable animals.
Being mounted provides a very substantial advantage in combat. It is usually much easier to kill a strong opponent when riding. In addition, mounts are unaffected by the rider's stamina and health, which makes it possible to retreat from combat even with low stamina or critical wounds. Riding a fast mount is often the only way of successfully escaping some of the faster mobs (like aged trolls or crocodiles). This is especially true when carrying loads above a bare minimum because horses are not slowed as much as players are when carrying heavy loads.
Variations
Coat Colour
Horses come in one of 13 colour types: black, white, grey, brown, gold, blood bay, ebony black (also known as "jet black"), piebald pinto, chestnut, appaloosa, gold buckskin, skewbald pinto, and black silver.
Body Form
Horses have varying body types based on their traits. These body types are: hot-blooded, characterised by a wiry build and speed traits; warm-blooded, with a medium build and mixed traits; or cold-blooded, featuring a husky build and draft traits.
Speed
A horse without speed-affecting traits or equipment will have a max speed of ~18 kph when riding it. Riding speed is completely unaffected by terrain type. It is the same everywhere on and off-road. Saddles and horse shoes will raise the maximum speed. A horse's gear can only be accessed or changed when tamed by the tamer, or when branded by whoever has permissions.
Any traits, the horse's hunger, terrain steepness, and the rider's inventory weight can affect the speed of the horse when riding. If the speed of a horse slows suddenly, without a weight or terrain increase, then the horse is most likely hungry. Feed it something or get off and lead the horse to grass tiles. After eating or grazing the speed should be back to normal.
Ebony black horses have a slight speed boost, when both riding and pulling vehicles, over other colours.
Speed Boosting
| Type | 50ql boost | 70ql boost | 90 ql boost | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Horse shoe set of 4 | 0.24km/h | 0.48km/h | 0.72km/h | |
| Saddle | 0.24km/h | 0.48km/h | 0.72km/h | |
| Wind of ages | 0.24km/h | 0.48km/h | 0.72km/h | cast on shoes or saddle |
| rare versions | 0.72km/h | |||
| supreme versions | 1.44km/h |
Equipment speeds aren't determined at 50, 70 or 90 quality thresholds, they are linear and scale according to quality.
Bred Horses
- Bred horses have individual (but not unique) names randomly chosen at birth. They can have traits affecting their speed and other characteristics.
- Bred horses have 2 foal stages (young foal and adolescent foal) before they grow into young horses.
- Color of bred horses will be inherited from their parents, with a very small chance of becoming an entirely different color at birth.
- Traits have a chance to be inherited from the parents. Both parents having a trait will help but does not guarantee that trait will be passed on.
Traits
Numerous traits can positively or negatively affect the speed of a creature being ridden by a player, or pulling a vehicle. For horses, a player is likely to want to seek out speed traits for a horse that's ridden, or draft traits for a horse that pulls a cart or wagon.
See animal husbandry for a full list of traits.
Equipment
Equipment that can be equipped on tamed or branded horses:
Notes
- They can be led with a rope by anybody without being tamed, but they are ridable only with 21 body control.
- Horses can be tamed with seeds and some vegetables. Be aware though that aggressive mobs occasionally attack tamed horses/mounts.
- Horses can be ridden up and down a straight 40 slope ramp or anywhere the sum of two neighbouring sides of a tile does not exceed 40. While only turning, your horse will move forward a little. A horse will move much slower when ridden backwards or up a hill, it moves faster when riding down a hill.
- One or two horses can be used to pull a large cart or a ship transporter. Up to four horses can be hitched to a wagon.
- Horses have 20 body strength.
- Breeding a female horse with a male donkey will produce a mule.
- Adult horses and foals can be found in the wild, including swimming deep in the ocean.
- It is possible for an untamed, branded horse to be attacked by a champion aggressive animal and killed.
