Skeleton Horse
A skeleton horse is a horse as far as the mod is concerned: troughs or grass, lying down to sleep, and the brush instead of petting.
- Horse family
- Troughs or grass
- Lies down
- Brush, don't pet
| Becomes a pet | A skeleton horse from a skeleton trap is already tame, so it becomes your pet automatically once it's yours. Otherwise use a Pet Collar on it (that tames it too). |
|---|---|
| Needs |  Hunger  Thirst  Hygiene  Mood  Energy |
| Eats | From a Feed Trough; without one it grazes on grass (within 10 blocks). Never from pet bowls. |
| Drinks | From a Water Trough; without one, from a pond, river or lake (within 10 blocks). |
| Favourite kibble | None |
| Hand-feed with | Horse food (wheat, apples, sugar, hay, golden carrots...), or Pet Kibble |
| Toilet | None: only cats, ocelots, dogs and foxes have a bladder need. |
| Sleeps | Lies down where it is (or on its Rest Spot). It doesn't use pet beds. |
| Plays | Chases a thrown Pet Ball and noses it around. |
| Can sit | No: on Stay it just stands still. |
| Petting | Sneaking with an empty hand opens its inventory, as in vanilla. Use a Pet Brush to bond with it instead. |
Eating & drinking
Bones or not, it gets hungry and thirsty like any horse. It eats from a feed trough or grazes, and drinks from a water trough or a pond.
A hay bale fills a Feed Trough (6 servings); its usual food, apples, or other farm animal food adds one serving each. Kibble doesn't go in troughs.
Sleeping
A tired skeleton horse lies down where it is, the way a horse does.
Getting one
A skeleton trap (the lightning strike that brings skeleton horsemen) leaves you with tame skeleton horses. Deal with the riders: a tame horse with no rider is free to be yours.
Tips
- Sneak + empty hand opens its inventory, so groom it with the Pet Brush.
- Use Rest Spot on a block in the stable to make it sleep there.
