Latest Release: v1.2 for Bukkit 1.7+

About

DeadHorses is designed to allow players to interact with dead horses (skeleton horse and undead/zombie horse). This plugin enables leashing, feeding, taming, and riding of dead horses. All actions are passed though Bukkit's event system, letting protection plugins such as Worldguard function like they should.

Features

Players using the DeadHorses plugin can:

• Attach leashes to dead horses (tamed and wild)
• Feed dead horses (see below)
• Tame dead horses (see below)
• Mount & ride dead horses
• Equip dead horses with barding (armor)
• Modify packets to send barding information to clients (requires ProtocolLib)

Note: This plugin does not affect natural mob spawning, and is best used with another plugin that allows dead horses to spawn. The horses can be summoned via command (see Commands), but is primarily meant for administrative testing and not for users. Example plugins: NetherMobs and UnLivingHorsies.

Taming

The plugin supports two different modes of taming:

• Vanilla-like taming lets users mount the dead horse in an attempt to tame it, following the same rules as regular horses.
• Food-based taming allows users to feed dead horses in an attempt to tame them. Foods and their respective chances of taming are defined in the configuration.

Feeding

In addition to taming dead horses, feeding can cause baby dead horses to mature into adults. The chance to age a baby dead horse is the same as the chance to tame it (with the food item) as defined in the configuration.

Barding

Dead horses can be equipped with barding like normal horses. When equipped, the damage suffered is reduced by the appropriate amount.

Note: The server does not send the metadata necessary to texture dead horses with the barding texture. Modifying the packets sent to the client fixes this, but requires client-side modifications to render properly. If packet modification is enabled, clients without necessary modifications will see the horse with a pure white texture. One modification that allows this is HorseTweaks.

Installation

1. Download DeadHorses jar file.
2. Move/copy to your server's plugins folder.
3. Restart your server.
