There are undead horses! How cool is that, amiright? Sadly, they're not naturally spawning in vanilla. I'd like some feedback on an idea I had for a cool way they could be implemented.
In End City and Nether Fortress dungeons, there will be a 2% and 1% chance, respectively, for either Undead or Skeletal horse armor to spawn. You can put this armor on your horse and it'll jump up onto it's hind legs, a special particle effect will come off of it, and it will change into either a Skeleton or Undead horse.
"Wait, but why would I do that? Just for aesthetics?" Fear not! There is a perfectly explainable reason!
Skeletal and Zombie horses get buffs to their stats! Skeletal horses buff all stats by 25% aside from jumping! Jumping actually gets a nerf by 1 block unless the jump height is below 2 blocks. Zombie horses have the same buff except speed is nerfed and jumping is not. Speed is nerfed by four blocks per second unless it's below 6 blocks per second.
Overall, you can still have a really good horse that has good speed/jumping or jumping/speed ability, but if you just want your super fast 14-blocks-a-second horse to get their speed improved by 25% then turn it into a zombie horse!
Some additional things are:
Cure horse by giving it a weakness I potion and then a golden apple-- just like villagers!
Untamed versions of these horses(which can't be tamed, in case ya didn't know) spawn rarely with their respective riders in thunderstorms.
When you cure a horse that still has the armor on, the armor will pop off of the horse.
The two horse armors have an enchanted sheen on them.
You cannot breed either the Zombie or Skeletal horse.
These don't sound that bad. I am worried about balancing though. Perhaps instead of 25%, it should be variable instead. Like the higher the current stat, the lower the percentage of the upgrade will be.
I really would like to keep the Ruby armor. It just seems sort of interesting to recycle an unimplemented ore into somewhere it could be used, and it'd look really cool on the horse. I thought everyone knew that ruby wasn't going to be an ore due to the whole colorblind thing?
I edited the message and made it say "not naturally spawning in vanilla", that's what I meant. Thanks for catching that. Also, I do need to polish up the whole buff thing I'm just... not very good with complicated things. That's about as complicated as I get, haha.

Nope, not everyone knows that as we still get threads wanting to implement it.
Support, except the horse armor seems kind of unneeded, it should just be some kind of item you feed to your horses... Hm... maybe some kind of skeletal or zombie carrot? Eh, now that I've said that out loud it doesn't make too much sense. I've been playing too much Terraria
There's really no reason to bring these out-of-nowhere ruby and emerald horse armors in the mix... What does that have to do with the horse suddenly turning undead? I think there can be way more creative ways of getting those kind of horses than just slapping an armor on them that magically makes that change...

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

It's sort of meant to be like an item of legendary lore. Why does the ice crown change simon petrikov into the ice king? because REASONS, man. (+900 science collaboration points for getting the reference, and another 500 for THIS reference)
I need to rename the armors something like "Undead Horse Armor" or "Skeletal Horse Armor". Yeah. That'd solve the ruby problem, aswell-- there's your solution to that, I guess, haha.

Minecraft doesn't have lore, nor should it. Everything in the game is more or less originless and works beautifully that way. Also, mentioning something from Adventure Time doesn't exactly... prove anything.

That's a bit more sensible, and even though I said there were more creative ways of getting these type of horses I can't think of any myself. I'd say that zombies and skeletons spawn with these horses, but then they'd be too easy to get.

@Cerroz my point with the Adventure Time thing is that, basically, enchanted items just sort of... work. And, I know, as coolcat430 suggested, I could use some other item, but I wanted to use something that was specifically made for horses-- horse armor. Horse armor seems so common now, and I wanted not only to put some new awesome-looking horse armor into a suggestion but make it relate to the undead horses.
So as it goes, you get an awesome looking horse armor, a cool horse, and all for the price of exploring the end/nether.

I'm just saying SUPPORT because this is probably the best time to add these mobs in. Spider jockeys were a thing, why aren't these? I think to reclaim one you'd have to slay it's rider. They don't spawn naturally on their own. Only with riders zombie and skeleton respectfully.

Give me feedback so I can make this idea better.

Limit your thread to one suggestion, you randomly go from undead horses to ruby and emerald armour.

Two words, undead carrots. One for each type.

Good idea! I like it! Support, but what about breeding? What will you need to bread them? If you breed a skeleton and zombie horse, what happens?
So.. How do I sign my device?
Havent played this game in 1 year... so much new stuff...
They'd probably be sterile like mules, I don't imagine undead creatures having much living tissue, especially the skeleton.
