Kolkolkol, finally found horses. In a ravine in some far away plains.
One of them has 10 hearts, is very fast but doesn't jump very high. The other one has 12 hearts, is a bit slower, but seems able to jump maybe 3-4 meters up.
I lead them back to Epicland, near Border Hill, the unused building, and set up a small stable, which is meant to be mostly temporary. I have thought out a plan for a stable hub and horse infrastructure at Spawntown, since the town isn't very easy to navigate with horses. The plan is here:
The green island is a large artificial island for keeping horses, surrounded by a fence. It will have spots for horse storage, possibly tower/underground areas to keep additional horses if the island itself is too small.
A bridge might connect the horse island to the peninsula with the spleef arena, since that is a relatively open part of Spawntown for horses.
The orange ring is a tunnel/elevated road which is 3-5 blocks wide which is made for horses.
The red-white circles are rail stations. The orange ring for horses is made to intersect the stations so that the horses can move onto the already built minecart tunnels.
The pink lines are rail lines, the light pink one a future planned rail route.
The red-gray squares are points where the horse road connects to the world's surface. I tried to find the most open spaces in/around Spawntown and areas with roads which I consider upgrading to be 3-5 blocks wide.
The yellow lines are alternative, additional horse roads. I think it would be reasonable to build a horse road west beyond Yukitown, because the terrain/road there isn't very good for horses. Same goes for the area south of Spawntown, where it is hard to expand the road without destroying a lot of nature as well.
The big yellow R symbolizes my idea to build a horse racing track, probably in Earthquake Forest, possibly elsewhere, Idk yet.
You can use this topic to anything you want which is horse-related, but you're very welcome to give feedback to the plans.
But if we want underground horse tunnels, we should consider something like a standard y-height for them. I plan to deviate a lot from such a standard though and as said maybe even have elevated parts.
People are also encouraged to make their rail stations horse-friendly (connecting the stations to a staircase to the surface which horses can use).
