If you are a fan of unicorns and other horse-like creatures, the Ultimate Unicorn Mod is for you. This mod introduces a collection of new mythical creatures that you can tame, ride and utilize in fight scenarios. Let us take a look at some of these creatures and their features.

Unicorns, Pegasus and More

New Mythical Creatures

Tame, ride and battle with them

The mod introduces seven new creatures in total - Unicorn, Pegasus, Nightmare, Destrier, Hippocamp, Kirin, and Reindeer. Of these, the most notable ones are the unicorn and the Pegasus. Unicorns have horns that can be utilized in combat scenarios, whereas Pegasus has flight ability, which helps the player soar the skies.

Taming a Unicorn

Unicorn Taming

Ride until success

Taming a unicorn is a very easy process. You can right-click on a unicorn to sit on its back. And it will unmount you. Repeat this a couple of times until heart particles appear from the unicorn. The unicorn will no longer remove you from its back - hence tamed.

Riding a Unicorn

You need a saddle

Taming by itself will not allow you to control a unicorn. You need to equip it with a saddle, or else the unicorn will simply move however it likes with you on its back. Crouch and right-click on a unicorn to open its inventory. Alternatively, you can mount the unicorn and press the inventory shortcut key. In the unicorn inventory, a dedicated slot for a saddle is provided.

Unicorn Ramming

Ram Your Enemies

Unicorn ability

"Ramming" is an unique attack style of unicorn. When mounted on a unicorn, the player can press a keybind (R by default) to make the unicorn lower its head, making their horn point out straight. When in this state, the player can make the unicorn run into opponents. The horn will pierce into enemies and other mobs, and will deal damage.

Taming a Pegasus

Pegasus Taming

Tame and fly

The steps to tame a Pegasus is exactly the same as that of taming a unicorn. But while taming a Pegasus, you have to be careful of one thing. When you mount the Pegasus, it might fly high up into the air and unmount you, making you fall from heights that can actually kill you. To prevent this, it is recommended to tame Pegasus' indoors.

Riding a Pegasus

Once tamed, you can equip a saddle and start riding the Pegasus. Press the spacebar to fly upwards and use the crouch-keybind to dive downward. You can use the WASD keys for controlling direction, but note that the direction be relative to the direction the Pegasus is facing. Basically, the W key will make the Pegasus fly straight in the direction it is facing.

Accessories

Power-up your creature

The mod also introduces several new accessories that can be equipped into the various dedicated slots within your pet's inventory. You can equip horse armor, horseshoes and horse helms that are common for all creatures. Unicorns have horn caps and Pegasus' have wing tips that are unique to them.

Customizing Appearances

Rename for custom appearances

You can use nametags to rename a creature to give it a special appearance. The one shown in the above image was renamed 'Adrian". You can create you own design that will be visible to all other players. To do so, visit this wesbite and learn how to design one: https://www.hackshop.com/p/unicorn.html

Crossbreeding Creatures

Different creatures introduces by this mod have different abilities that prove useful in different circumstances. For example, the flight ability of a Pegasus and the ramming ability of a unicorn are useful in completely different ways. But what if you need a creature who can prove helpful in both scenarios. This is where crossbreeding comes in.

Crosbreeding

Pegasus + Unicorn

To begin, simple bring two creatures closer to one another and feed them both golden apples until hear particles appear. In this example, we are crossbreeding an Unicorn and a Pegasus. Once done, a baby mob will appear. This baby creature will have features of both its parents.

The Pegacorn

Crossbreed creature

The above breeding has given birth to a combination of the Unicorn and the Pegasus, which we will call a "Pegacorn". You can feed the baby creature more golden apples to accelerate its growth. And as you can see, it has the horn of a Unicorn along with the wings of a Pegasus.

Conclusion

With the ability for high-level customizations and unique features, this mod lives up to its claim of being the "Ultimate" Unicorn mod. One thing to keep in mind while downloading the mod is that many of the features only exist in the 1.12.2 version of the mod and might be missing in the new version. Recent news from the creator suggests that these features will be brought to newer version soon.
