Saddles Squared

This resource pack overhauls 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.

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 clipping as well as to add some flair! Their design is based off of the color palette used by skeleton horses prior to 1.14.

• Zombie horse 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/datapack which allows them to spawn naturally. I’d recommend Zombie Horses From Abandoned Villages and/or Zombie Horsemen.

Changes made in version 1.0.1:

• The models were tweaked to be much more pixel consistent. Previously, some parts of the model were scaled slightly differently which lead to annoying mixels.

• As a result, the textures had to be tweaked as well to match the updated models.

• The skeleton horse saddle has even less clipping now; the saddle is flush to the horse’s spine and the underneath is fully textured.

• It’s been given an updated color palette as well! Previously, the skeleton horse saddle was based off of _strays_ rather than regular _skeletons_.

Undead Horse Variants:

As of version 1.0.1, Saddles Squared has built-in compatability with Undead Horse Variants! Each of the mounts added by UHV have their own style of saddle.

_Saddles Squared should be placed above Undead Horse Variants in your resource pack list._

NOTE: Undead Horse Variants is not a requirement, this resource pack functions with or without it.

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 (reliable) 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.
