Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

That's... a really interesting question.

I know that a creature can generally choose to either swim or stand in 4/7 water, but I have no idea is that's what handles air-drowning. It PROBABLY does, though.

Another question, really, is whether or not the animals will even choose to swim while training. Their behavior in the kennels could hardcoded in some bizarre way.


I definitely suggest testing this.

Ill test it and send out my result but first i would need to catch something i could tame not easy to get an aqautic creature in a cage XD. If i dam a river place a bunch of cage trap on the river bed and allow water again will aqautic creature get caught in it?

War carp ftw. I remember people suggested it a few times before and nobody told it doesn't work, however I don't remember if anyone told that it works :P.
