Ride Any Entity - Beta 1.7.3
This unique modification overturns the familiar rules of Minecraft, allowing you to mount absolutely any mob in the game without the need for a saddle! Now you can jump on the back of a cow, sheep, pig, wolf, or even a squid and embark on an exciting journey through the blocky world.
Technical Features
The mod works on both sides - client and server, introducing changes to the main Entity, EntityCow, EntityPig, EntitySheep, EntitySquid, and EntityWolf classes. The main mechanics are implemented through simple but effective code that adds the mount function to standard creature interaction.
public boolean interact(EntityPlayer entityPlayer1) {
entityPlayer1.mountEntity(this);
return false;
}
Each individual mob class was adapted while preserving riding capability. For example, pigs became available for riding regardless of saddle presence.

The mod works without requiring Modloader installation, although selecting a suitable API was necessary for proper operation. Compatibility with creatures from other mods is possible, opening up even more options for unusual riding adventures!
