# Horse Overview

<p class="callout success">Information targets the latest **supported** release. For legacy (older) versions and bug fixes, read the changelogs.</p>

#### **Introduction**

Lite horses are Minecraft "re-imagined" equestrian mods. Bigger, tougher and more realistic with moderately expanded functionality.

#### **Obtaining**

<p class="callout info">Lite does **not** support converting horses via cantazerite potions! </p>

Horses can be obtained from:

- [Natural Spawning](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/server-config#bkmrk-spawning)
- [Breeding](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/breeding)
- [Spawn Egg](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/horse-overview#bkmrk-spawn-eggs)
- [Summon Command](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/horse-overview#bkmrk-summon-command)

##### Natural Spawns

<p class="callout info">Natural spawns for lite **and** vanilla horses is enabled by default in the [server config](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/server-config). </p>

- Herds of up to 5 horses may spawn in overworld biomes.
- Herds use a single "color tag" out of 7 options to spawn "similar" coat types.
- Naturally spawning horses are wild until tamed by a player.

##### Spawn Eggs

Spawn eggs are a creative menu or command only item. It spawns one horse with a random coat variant and gender.

##### Summon Command  


<p class="callout info">Lite does **not** support randomization via commands. If you require a random coat, use a spawn egg.</p>

Commands can summon an **adult** horse with a specific coat, and gender (optional). For foals, see [here](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/breeding#bkmrk-summon).

<details id="bkmrk-more-information%3A-su"><summary>More Information: Summon Commands</summary>

##### Permissions

Use of summon commands require cheats enabled, and the relevant user permissions in Multiplayer.

---

##### Basics

- Commands must use a valid namespace ID like `swem:`
- Commands must use a valid coat ID
- If `MALE` or `FEMALE` is not set the gender will be random.

---

##### Default Coats

It is easy to view all coat options included in lite.

`/swemlite summon swem:`

<p class="callout info">Press `↑` or `↓` to scroll the list, and `Tab` to select the highlighted option. Add `MALE` or `FEMALE` to specify gender.</p>

<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><colgroup><col style="width: 44.8702%;"></col><col style="width: 55.1298%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td class="align-center" colspan="2" style="background-color: rgb(52, 5, 93);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">**EXAMPLES**</span>  
</td></tr><tr><td>`/swemlite summon swem:helios_arishant` </td><td>Summons the Helios coat with a **random** gender.</td></tr><tr><td>`/swemlite summon swem:helios_arishant FEMALE` </td><td>Summons the Helios coat as a **female** horse.</td></tr></tbody></table>

---

##### Community Pack (Custom) Coats

[Community pack](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian/chapter/community-packs) file names set the "ID" used in game, so if you have a pack called `my_coats` the ID in game is `my_coats:`

`/swemlite summon pack_name:`

<p class="callout info">Press `↑` or `↓` to scroll the list, and `Tab` to select the highlighted option. Add `MALE` or `FEMALE` to specify gender.</p>

<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><colgroup><col style="width: 45.1174%;"></col><col style="width: 54.8826%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td class="align-center" colspan="2" style="background-color: rgb(52, 5, 93);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">**EXAMPLES**</span></td></tr><tr><td>`/swemlite summon custom_coats:arishant_bob` </td><td>Summons the `Bob` coat by `Arishant` with a **random** gender.</td></tr><tr><td>`/swemlite summon custom_coats:arishant_bob MALE` </td><td>Summons the `Bob` coat by `Arishant` as a **male** horse.</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><p class="callout warning">The above examples use an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">**EXAMPLE**</span> community pack called `custom_coats` with a coat option `arishant_bob`</p>

#### **Appearance**

<p class="callout info">Lite does **not** include any complex coat genetics, breeds or model variants (custom models excluded). </p>

Horses use one of 100+ default [adult coats](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian/chapter/horse-coats).

##### Custom Coats

<p class="callout info">Community packs do not support foal coats. All foal coats (14) can be replaced using a [resource pack](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian/page/resource-packs-wip).</p>

- You can add custom coats directly into the game using a [community pack](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian/chapter/community-packs).
- You can override (replace) the default coats using a [resource pack](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian/page/resource-packs-wip).

##### Gender

There are no visual or functional [gender](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/gender) differences aside for the icon displayed on named Horses.

<details id="bkmrk-more-information%3A-%22b"><summary>More Information: "Breeds"</summary>

##### Breeds

Lite does **NOT** include breeds, or breed-specific models, excluding custom **community-made** model replacements (overrides).

</details>---

#### **Behavior**

##### Idle

Horses will idle wander, and occasionally trigger shake, scratch or tail swish idle animations.

##### Aggression

Horses are passive-neutral and do not "aggro" towards entities or players.

- They can retaliate by bucking if harmed or ridden when untamed.
- Bucking deals <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(224, 62, 45);"> **TBC** </span> damage to entities and players in a <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(224, 62, 45);"> **TBC** </span> radius.

<p class="callout danger">Fatal "buck offs" can occur if one horse kicks another, who kicks back etc. It's not an "intentional" risk but it can happen!</p>

---

#### **Horse Inventory**

The horse inventory overviews information on ownership, skills, status and equipment. It is available for all **tamed** horses.  
`Shift` + `Right Click` the horse with an empty hand, or press `E` while riding.
