Stables: register, name and call back your horses at a hitching post

Craft a hitching post, or find one by the animal pens of some villages, and it becomes your stable: up to 8 horses, donkeys, mules, llamas or camels you tamed, kept in one list, wherever they are.

Hitching Post Lead + wooden fence + hay bale

A lead over a wooden fence over a hay bale, in a crafting table.

How it works

Your horses, kept in one place, and never lost again.

  • Right-click the post to see your horses, each with its head, its name and where it is: here, boarded, or out in the world. The list scrolls past five.
  • Register the horse you ride, or the nearest of yours around the post, and name it for free, no name tag needed.
  • Its speed, jump and health, and a llama's strength, show as bars from the worst a horse is born with to the best, as through the naturalist's spyglass.
  • Board it: it leaves the world, safe, with its saddle, armor and chest. Take it out again at any post.
  • A horse left far away comes back with Call back, even from an unloaded chunk or another dimension, as it was there.
  • Sneak and right-click the post to tie the animals you lead to its rail.
  • One animal pen or stable in two has a post by its fence, outside zombie villages. A horse that dies leaves the stable.

Questions

How do I craft a hitching post?

Put a lead, a wooden fence and a hay bale one under the other in the middle column of a crafting table. Any wood works for the fence.

Which animals can I register?

The ones you tamed and ride or lead: horses, donkeys, mules, llamas and camels. Up to 8 per player.

Does calling a horse back work from anywhere?

Yes, from any post, wherever the horse is, even far away in a chunk nobody has loaded, or in another dimension. It comes back as it was when its chunk was last saved.

Do boarded horses keep their saddle and chest?

Yes: a boarded horse keeps everything, its saddle, its armor and what its chest holds.

Can I bring a dead horse back?

No: a horse that dies leaves the stable.

Does it work in multiplayer?

Yes, with Cassonade on the server, which provides the block and keeps each player's stable.
