Horse

Horse

A proud steed built for the open range.

The Horse Egg

Sold by Farmhand Steve after you defeat him in battle. It is a one-time-use spawn egg: right-click the ground inside a claim or rented plot where you can build (overworld only) to release a permanent Horse onto your ranch. Requires Gathering level 45 to buy AND to use, and the animal counts toward your 50-animal ranch cap. Ranch Protection (toggled per claim in /claimmanager) keeps released animals safe from harm.

Steve's price:

A Turtle Ticket (earned by defeating the Ninja Turtle) pays for any ONE egg in place of its full item cost - the Gathering gate still applies.

Other ways to find the egg

Once you have the Gathering level, horses can hand you the egg themselves: every time you feed one, defeat one in combat, or startle one with the Leaf Staff, there is a 1 in 1,000 chance it leaves a Horse Egg behind (announced server-wide). That rate is tuned by how cheap and renewable its food is.

Feeding horses

Feed it Wheat, a Hay Bale, an Apple or Sugar and it kicks loose one random stack from the found-chest Minecraft table at its feet. One snack per 30 seconds - while it chews, it refuses (and keeps your snack).

Accepted snacks still roll the 1-in-50,000 pet and 1-in-1,000 mob egg chances, and pay a little Gathering XP.

The Horse Pet

Feeding (1 in 50,000), defeating (1 in 5,000), or leaf-startling horses can earn you the Horse Pet - one per player, ever. While it follows you it improves that animal's feeding odds and can add a bonus drop on your kills. Its unique perk - Stable Hand: your out horse pet shortens the cooldown to as little as 22s. All unique perks scale with the pet's mood.

The Horse Spawner

Trade Horse Eggs back to Steve for a Horse Spawner: a placeable spawner that keeps a hardy, farmable horse on your claim - complete with its own job.
