Players can claim, groom, and trade horses. Admins have strong control and data persistence. It works well with both Java and Bedrock, and it integrates with major server plugins.

## 🖼️ Showcase

### 🐴 Horse Creation Menu

Players can make their own horse from scratch. Pick the breed, gender, color, traits, and more. Each option has its own price, and some things like certain breeds, disciplines, or traits cost more than others. Breeds also come with realistic height limits, so it all feels more natural and balanced. Perfect for roleplay or just making your dream horse.

### 🐴 Horse List Menu

The Horse List Menu shows all horses a player owns, pulling info from the database or live game data if the horse is loaded. Horses can be sorted for quick navigation, and admins can check any player’s list. Clicking a horse opens a detailed info menu with real time stats. It’s a smooth mix of database and live server data for a fast, accurate experience.

### 🍎 Horse Hunger and Feeding AI

A fully dynamic hunger system where horses gradually lose hunger over time and intelligently seek out food sources using custom pathfinding AI. When hunger drops below a threshold, horses can locate and navigate to nearby edible blocks or items, simulating realistic foraging behavior. Players can also feed them directly for instant replenishment, with safeguards against overfeeding. Hunger levels are stored persistently, ensuring consistency across sessions. This system blends **server-side AI, persistent data management, and player interaction** for an immersive experience.

### 🚮 Horse Waste System

The Horse Waste System brings a realistic touch to gameplay by letting horses naturally poo and pee at set intervals. Each cleanup rewards players with experience, while collected manure is tracked in their data and can be sold for profit. The system uses timed events with a bit of randomness to keep it feeling natural, blending realism with rewarding gameplay.
