Details
This resource pack overalls all of the saddles equipped by the player. This includes those which are worn by horses, mules, donkeys, skeleton horses, zombie horses, pigs, camels, and striders.
It does not make any changes to happy ghast harnesses or ravager saddles since both of those have significant differences in functionality.
If you're looking to change either of those, consider trying out Harnesses Aren't Ghastly and/or Ravagers Have Depth!
Horses:
The vanilla appearance of horse saddles has been mostly preserved, simply with added depth. However, saddles worn by the four major horse variants (mules, donkeys, skeleton horses, and zombie horses) have all had significant changes, as explained below:
-
Mule saddles were changed to a light tan color to match with their bellies.
-
Donkey saddles are now a dark, desaturated shade of brown which complements their gray coats.
-
Skeleton horse saddles have a slightly different model than the rest; this was done to prevent any visible clipping as well as to add some flair! Their design is primarily based off of Strays.
-
Zombie horses saddles aren't left out either: they're now based off of rotten flesh!
NOTE: To see the updated zombie horse saddles in-game, you'll have to either spawn in a tamed zombie horse using commands, or download a mod/data pack which allows them to spawn naturally. I'd recommend Zombie Horses From Abandoned Villages and/or Zombie Horsemen.
Pigs:
Pig saddles have been translated into 3D with minimal changes -- they remain just as orange as before!
All pig variants use the same model & texture for their saddles. As far as I'm aware, there's no method currently available to give them unique designs.
Camels:
Camel saddles have only had one significant change, that being their color palette. In vanilla, camels have vibrant orange saddles much like pigs do, however, I find that it clashes poorly with their tan fur. As such, I've changed it to an ochre-yellow.
Striders:
Strider saddles have had the most dramatic change in appearance: they've been almost completely overhauled! Their new color palette is based off of warped wart blocks and twisting vines now wrap around their bodies to keep their saddles secure.
Known Issues:
- For some reason the saddles don't show up on the 3D preview shown in the horse inventory GUI. I have no idea why they don't, but IMO it's a very minor issue.
