FIGURE 7.2
A wild horse on a lead. It, admittedly, doesn't look very wild. In fact, it
waits indefinitely hitched to a fence post while you go looking for that elusive saddle. By
the way, horses don't like water too much but can stand on ice.
Tip:
When Pigs Fly
In Creative mode, any mob you have attached to a lead can also fly with you. It
looks a little like a fire-fighting helicopter carrying a water hopper, but it can be
done. Just ascend gently so the leash doesn't break. The mobs sustain damage if
dropped heavily onto land, and it is quite difficult to do this gently because they
tend to bounce up and down at the end of the lead like yo-yos. It's easier to drop a
mob down into a body of water instead of onto a hard block so they don't sustain
any damage.
Breeding Animals
Breed animals by right-clicking on them while holding their favorite snack. You'll know
