Care

   UP TO DATE FOR LITE RELEASE VERSION 1.20.1-1.1.1 AND ABOVE    
    UNDER CONSTRUCTION - INFORMATION MAY BE INCOMPLETE    

Introduction

Lite Horses are intended to be low maintenance adventure mounts, but they may need a little care to stay healthy!

Needs

Lite does not include any hunger, thirst, pee or poo functions.

Health

Horse health is default 20 HP (10 D7Nimage.png ) and can be increased by leveling their  HEALTH SKILL  . Damage can occur from:

  • Fall damage over 9 blocks
  • Potion of Harming
  • Dragons Breath
  • Fire 
  • Magma Blocks
  • Lava
  • Cactus
  • Sweet Berry Bushes
  • Wither Roses
  • Hostile mobs
  • Bucking horses
Pathfinding

Horses naturally seek to avoid (while wandering) harmful blocks such as lava, magma, cactus and sweet berry bushes etc. 

Hostile Mobs

Horses are not a target of most hostile mobs, unless indirectly while ridden by a player (ie shot by a skeleton). They can be direct targets of Zoglins and Withers, and any hostile entities from other mods that use a similar hostility logic.

Fall Damage

Horses take fall damage from any drop greater than 9 blocks. This limit increases to 11 with  GOLD TIER HORSE ARMOR

Damage values were thoroughly tested, but the exact formula appears non-linear and has not been verified from code.

Horses cannot die to fall damage unless their health is below the maximum damage cap of 7.0 D7Nimage.png, or 4.0 D7Nimage.png with gold+ horse armor, or they sustain damage from another source shortly after taking a dangerous fall.

Dragons Breath

Horses may not avoid Dragon's Breath if left unsupervised or idle wandering in the End dimension.

Dragon's Breath is extremely hazardous and can result in a buck and rearing loop that makes it very hard to escape!

Damage (per second) and approx. seconds this amount of damage can be sustained (by health level) until fatal.

The following are recommended before going to the End with a horse (if Dragon is not defeated):

  •  HORSE ARMOR  of any tier except leather reduces damage per second by half
  •  HORSE ARMOR  of Amethyst tier (flight) reduces dangers of ground-based combat
  •  HORSE BOOSTER  increases maximum hearts by 10 and has a  TBC  regeneration effect while active
  • Healing supplies to quickly address low health during the fight

Health can be improved or boosted by:

  • Natural Regeneration
  • Splash Potion of Healing
  •  HORSE HEAL POTION 
  •  HEALTH BOOSTER 
  • Command /swemlite set health # (1-5)
Immunity

HORSE ARMOR  can significantly reduce or offer complete immunity to damage from many sources.
Each material armor tier offers unique protections and perks which stack as the armor is further upgraded.

Immortality

Horses can be set as immune to all damage sources using /swemlite horse immortal to toggle "immortality" on or off.

Immortality is a command-only function and prevents further skill gain while active.

Additional

  • Horses use a "sad" animation when their health is low to visually communicate the need for care.
  • Horses sometimes "flee" from or after taking damage, but this is usually very brief and ineffective.
  • Horses sometimes kick or buck when taking damage which has a damage radius for nearby entities and players.

Known Issues

You can report any mod issues to our bugs forum on Discord - please check for duplicate reports first!

  • 1.0.0 Horse health icons do not show above the hotbar when in creative.
  • 1.0.0 Horses occasionally engage in fatal "kick-offs" when harmed.
