Halo Hog

Quickstart

1. Craft the Halo Hog placer at a crafting table:

1. Select the Halo Hog item and use it on the ground to place the vehicle.
2. Interact with the Halo Hog to ride it. It has one seat and you control it while mounted.
3. Look toward a target, then tap the vehicle’s action control, use the interact button, or press Jump while riding to fire the cannon.
4. Steer across the world and try the cannon against mobs and other targets.

You can also spawn one with:

/summon com_halo_hog_f4foc7po:my_vehicle

Overview

The Halo Hog is a rideable combat vehicle built for charging into battle. It combines player-controlled movement with a forward-firing rapid-fire cannon.

What It Adds

• Halo Hog rideable vehicle
• One player-controlled seat
• Player steering and ground movement
• Mounted rapid-fire cannon
• Cannon projectiles that create small impact explosions
• A durable vehicle with 40 health

How To Use

Placing the Vehicle

Craft the Halo Hog placer and use it on a suitable location in the world. The vehicle appears where you place it.

For quick testing in Creative mode, use the summon command:

/summon com_halo_hog_f4foc7po:my_vehicle

Riding

Interact with the Halo Hog to mount it. Only one player can ride at a time. While mounted:

• Use your normal movement controls to steer.
• Look in the direction you want to attack.
• Tap the vehicle action, use the interact button, or press Jump to fire.
• Crouch to dismount.

The vehicle’s elevated third-person view gives you a wider combat perspective while riding.

Dismounting

Crouch to leave the vehicle. You are placed on top of the Halo Hog when you dismount.

Crafting And Obtaining

The crafted Halo Hog placer requires iron, a minecart, redstone, and a diamond. The complete recipe is shown in the Quickstart section.

The Halo Hog can also be obtained directly by summoning it with:

/summon com_halo_hog_f4foc7po:my_vehicle

Abilities And Mechanics

Rapid-Fire Cannon

The Halo Hog fires a standard arrow projectile in the direction you are looking. Projectiles launch quickly and are fired from ahead of the rider.

Each projectile produces an impact explosion with:

• 2.25-block radius
• No block destruction
• No fire
• A large explosion visual effect

The cannon has a short firing cooldown, so tap repeatedly for sustained fire rather than holding the control.

Vehicle Durability

The Halo Hog has 40 health. It is pushable and can also be moved by pistons.

Movement

The vehicle is ground-controlled and can travel across varied terrain. Its navigation can pass over water and avoids damage-causing blocks when moving under its own behavior.

Progression And Strategy

• Craft the Halo Hog early when you want a mobile combat platform.
• Use its elevated camera and movement to keep distance from hostile mobs.
• Aim slightly ahead of moving targets and fire repeatedly.
• Use the cannon’s non-destructive explosions near builds, since impacts do not break blocks or cause fire.
• Fight from open ground where the vehicle has room to turn and maneuver.
• Keep track of the vehicle’s health before taking it into a large battle.
