Horse Auto Mount [85 Supporters]

REEE YOU EDITED!!!

 

Bump! We need this!

 

Yeah, ever since Warlords, the lack of auto-mounting has bothered me.

 

I know it can be annoying sometimes but it seems like a waste of time to add. They have got better things to do. So... No.

I still voted yes tho <3

 

This would literally be the easiest thing ever to code. Like this could be done in minutes. I'm a programmer and plugin developer, take my word for it.

 

i need this in my life

 

I initially read the title and though of "Horse Theft Auto"

 

Bit of a pointless thing to add to be honest. Would it really do much for the game? Not really. Would it matter if it was added? Ha no, although I see no reason why it can't be optional, (except maybe if you're surrounded by one or two hard mobs and the horse will still come out it may be a bit op), but I don't see any reason not to add it. Good suggestion! +1

 

+1
Though, wouldn't this thread be more appropriate in the Feedback section under the Game Design tag because horses are already a feature?

 

I wouldn't care if it gets added so uh
+.25 or something

 

It’s a quality of life change that would be extremely easy to add, which many including myself would love to see

No one reads feedback, suggestions gets much more attention

 

I never said I was against it, just that it would be a bit pointless when they could be adding other, more important, features.

 

Right bow? Extremely annoying. Half the time I end up accidentally clicking the saddle a second time, despawning the horse. And in the middle of combat it can be costly.

Would fix it. 10/10 would be fixed again

 

+1 - Seems like a useful and great idea!

like all the others said, make it toggleable/optional and bam we got an easy qol. Not difficult to code either, we’ve seen other servers do it.

 

This feature would be phenomenal.

I fully back this idea, however it should 100% be toggleable. There’s no real argument that it shouldn’t be implemented or it “takes up time”. Just like Theeef, I’ve developed plugins before, and I can 2nd the fact that it would not be that difficult.

There’s also no realistic “limit” to the number of features a server can have. Furthermore, QoL changes are just as important as bug fixes and tweaks/balances. Of course adding this feature wouldn’t be as big as say the most recent 1.18 update, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist at all, it just carries less of a priority than other ones.

To comment on the “cheating” aspect, getting on top of a horse mid-combat or avoiding combat through using a horse is cheating (IMO) when the specific goal is to get through a horde of mobs. There are limits to this, such as riding in the overworld vs. riding in a dungeon or during a quest cave, etc.

I think to sum this up though: who cares? It’s an easy addition to make. Just make smart decisions. Personally, to avoid these kinds of complaints, I’d say the horse should start off untoggled (don’t auto-ride), so that the player has to go out of there way to be like “yes, I want this feature, and I accept any potential downsides that may follow this feature” (the downsides being, referencing a reply, falling off a cliff with your horse—somehow)
