Make horses non-weird

[ErdTod]

Right now you gotta aim yourself sideways in order to enter a house or a cave on a horse, cause your characters hitbox has to touch the door's hitbox. This not only looks weird, but also likely something that newer players will not know with no way of learning this unless someone tells them that, or by an accident. Moreover it has no logical explanation that is not "this is how this game-engine works".

So please just make horse hitbox act like your own hitbox in terms of entering and exiting things when you're mounted!

Maybe that will also fix horses stomping things you want to pick up, like frogs, crickets etc.

And not to make another horses-thread, I'll just shove another idea about horses here: add horses feed-mask that would allow to restore their satiety away from a feeding through

Fixing horse shitbox would probably also fix the issue with taming while on a horse, because the animal is blocked from getting to you while using clover because the horse hitbox is in the way

I think everything can be solved if the horse hitbox is disabled while riding. It might look a little weird in some cases but I think overall it wouldn't be that bad

Another horse idea - reins. Made from 2-3 leather straps and a couple of nuggets, they would become a semi-permanent part of the horse, like saddlebags. When you dismount a horse with reins they are automatically tethered to you (so no more wasting two inventory slots to carry a rope), a hitching post would work normally. If the scripting isn't too complicated you could even tether a horse to a tree or shrub. And since the player can hearth and their boat can "dock" to home, perhaps a horse with reins could have a home hitching post to which they could return if separated from their owner, either on command or automatically after a certain time or distance.
