RideFeed
This mod adds a simple feeding requirement for riding mounts.
While riding a mount, feed will occasionally be consumed from the rider's inventory.
If no suitable feed is available, the rider will be forced to dismount.
The purpose of this mod is to add a small maintenance cost to mount usage and to provide a common feeding system for mounts added by various mods.
How It Works
Every 10 seconds, there is a 30% chance that a mount will consume one feed item.
If the required feed is not present in the rider's inventory when consumption is attempted, the rider will be dismounted.
Vanilla Mounts
The following vanilla mounts are supported:
- Horse
- Donkey
- Mule
- Llama
- Trader Llama
- Camel
These mounts can consume any of the following items:
- Wheat
- Carrot
- Potato
- Low Energy Feed
Modded Mounts
For modded mounts, RideFeed automatically determines the required feed type based on the mount's maximum health.
| Maximum Health |
Required Feed |
| Less than 50 HP |
Low Energy Feed |
| Less than 250 HP |
Medium Energy Feed |
| Less than 500 HP |
High Energy Feed |
| 500 HP or higher |
Ultra Energy Feed |
This allows RideFeed to support many mount mods without requiring individual compatibility definitions.
Feed Items
RideFeed adds four feed items.
