Usage

Bind a tack box to a horse by right clicking a tamed SWEM Horse with a tack box in hand. Once bound a confirmation message will appear above the inventory hotbar.

Tack boxes (whether bound or unbound) can be placed by right-clicking as with a normal chest. Two tack boxes placed side by side will become a double tack box - this is purely for cosmetic purposes and double tack boxes do not offer any extra space or features. To prevent  tack boxes becoming double, crouch and right click to place as individual (single) boxes side by side.

You cannot open and use a placed tack box unless it is bound to a SWEM Horse.
