About this Mod

The undead horses

Requires Geckolib to work !

                                                    Now available on Aternos ! 

In the aim of making minecraft vanilla better I'm doing some mods and resource packs with vanilla-like content.

Drowned & Dried introduce a new way to make horses (from the mod) wearing a saddle.

-By right clicking + pressing shift you can put or get back your saddle.

-By clicking on a horse with a saddle it will give it the saddle because it is already a vanilla feature

This mod adds 5 horses variant yet and they all have their own uses :

-The husk horse can spit at its target when he is attacked by it and his spit will give hunger. You can ride it and by pressing F key also use its spit against whatever creatures you want. By using a water bucket on it you can get a rideable zombie horse in survival !

-The drowned horse can't be ridden but it will gives you some effects which might be useful under water. By leashing it you can literaly play under water !

-The stray skeleton horse does a trail of slowing smoke while being ridden which can be extremely useful against mobs like zombies and wither skeletons but less against skeletons.

-The wither skeleton horse is basicaly hostile toward players. He does many damages and applies a new Amplified wither effect which does 2.5 hearts of damages whatever armors you wear. You can tame it by using a red fungus and it will protect you from mobs that attacks you/you attacked.

-The bogged skeleton horse will avoid players by running from them. You'll need to kill some of them first to manage to get a mushroom parasite. By using it in a crafting table with an apple you'll get an infected apple which will allow you to tame an ride this skeleton horse ! Unlike the basic skeleton horse it will drown under water but it takes no damages from falling due to its mushrooms. (1.21.1 only)

About the spawns ?

-I'll let you discover where they spawn but they will not appear the day.

-The wither skeleton horse has the lowest spawning rate but they all have a rare spawning rate anyway.
