Horse Overhaul

Horse Overhaul adds a craftable saddle item, mounted and unmounted horse inventory access, and a custom saddled-horse behavior set for Hytale servers.

Features

• Adds a craftable Saddle item (Horse_Saddle) with built-in storage.

• Supports horse inventory access in both major play states:
  • unmounted Primary Action on a saddled horse opens the horse inventory
  • mounted Inventory key opens the same horse inventory
• Supports direct saddle inventory access:
  • Use while holding the saddle opens the saddle bag
• Keeps saddled horses from passively wandering away while still preserving normal livestock sleep and grazing behavior.
• Includes the /horseoverhaul in-game help command.
• Supports config-driven saddle storage size.
• Supports config-driven enabling or disabling of petting on saddled horses.
