Tips
- Horses and other creatures can be attached to horse-powered blocks by leading them with a lead and right-clicking the block
- Horse-powered blocks require a clear 7x7 working area around them with a sturdy floor below
- A small number of obstructions (chests, hoppers, gears) are tolerated inside the ring; see Horse Path & Speed for details
- Levers placed inside the working area are allowed, so you can host redstone toggles right on the floor (useful for the Generator)
- The floor blocks under the path scale the worker's speed: dirt and grass slow it down, dirt paths run at full speed, packed ice doubles it. See Horse Path & Speed for the full list and configuration
- Shift+Right-click a horse-powered block with an empty hand to see its required working area
