Poll: Should You Control Saddled Pigs

TheGreatNut · 06-13-2012, 09:45,

The title is self explanitory. Kiwike is an rp server in midevil steampunk era, in the midevil era mounts where quite popular. But there are no costom blocks so we cant have horses. But we should have controlable mounts, curently the best option is the saddled pig.
You would find a pig, put a saddle on it and mabye feed it some wheat to tame it. Then you would right click to mount and control it by taping W to spur forward (reapeatedly to go faster) it would achive a maximum speed of 1.5 that of a sprinting player, S to pull back (making it slow, stop, and eventualy go backwards at minimal speed), and use A and D to turn it left and right. You would press spacebar to jump (It would jump one block high and be very similar to the player), it would also be able to swim when holding spacebar like the player, and drown if it is underwater to long. You would be able to shoot arrows (as well as snowballs, potions, and eggs) and use swords normally but not use other tools or place and break blocks. You would look at the saddle and right click to dismount.
I hope Kiwike will realize the rp significance and gameplay possibilities for this idea.

It might be simpler to just make it with the same controls as a player, but go 1.5 times as fast.

That's essentially exactly what you can do WITHOUT a pig or saddle. It's just a waste of money/time/saddles.

not a bad idea at all, but is it like a spiderjockey? Does the pig absorb damage until it dies? or more lke a spider jockey, can you jump with it and get stuck in the ceiling like the skeletons do and suffocate?? probably will be worked out if approved

Pig has normal pig health and is compleatly independent of ure health, if it dies u get pork and lose a saddle and get thrown off if rideing when it dies.

We have discussed this before and it's a great idea. But it's not possible. The Minecraft client does not send key presses to the server so it would require client side mods such as Spout.

Better idea, have people work as taxis - sit on a pig and have somebody constantly lure the pig with wheat.

LOL

Good idea.

Honestly, it would be awesome, but even if it was possible, having a bunch of people riding around on pigs would be rather ridiculous.
