About this Mod
Description
Trotting Wagons is a simple mod aimed at adding easy to use, vanilla friendly horse-drawn wagons to the game to help with transporting players, mobs and items.
Wagons
Currently, trotting wagons has three types of wagon with different properties:
- Conestoga - A freight wagon with a cloth cover over it. Has 60 health, 108 inventory slots and medium speed.
- Royal - A coach wagon with a wooden cabin. Has 80 health, 54 inventory slots and is the fastest wagon.
- Armored - A slow, heavy wagon used for battles. Has 120 health, no inventory and accelerates slowly.
Controls
- Horses can be hitched to a wagon by leashing them and crouch interacting with the wagon.
- Wagons can be recoloured by crouch clicking them with wool.
- The Horse Whip is used to control wagons. Right click with it while driving a wagon to change speeds, crouch interacting with the wagon while not seated to switch it between reverse and forwards.
- Mobs can be mounted on the wagon in the same method as hitching a horse, or by crouch right interacting with the mob while it is next to a stationary wagon.
- Mobs can be dismounted from wagons by crouch interacting with them, or by crouch interacting with the wagon using a leash.
- Wagons can be repaired by using iron ingots on them (this is configurable).
- A wagon's inventory can be opened by crouch interacting with it while not holding one of the other items used to interact with it.
- Wagons can be picked up by crouch interacting on them with any axe.
