1. Lava "Boat" Potential
At the moment, striders are the only way to rapidly transport players over large bodies of lava. In the nether, there are wild striders; however, with the nether portal system hooked up as it is in CV, striders cannot be transported to the overworld to fulfill the same functionality. Offering striders in the admin petshop fills in that gap, allowing for safe vanilla lava transportation.
2. Nether Decor Potential
Between tropical fish and bees, the new map offers tantalizing new ways to use live animals to enhance a setting. Therefore, why not extend this functionality by allowing a few friendly striders to roam your fire-and-brimstone wasteland? Add in their usefulness as a lava transport device (see above), and there is actually quite a lot of minigame potential to be unlocked here in my opinion
3. Adorableness
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words... BEHOLD
Let it stare into your soul... who WOULDN'T want one as a pet? Keep it out of the rain, feed it an occasional blue mushy treat, and love its adorable giant snuggly face
And that is all for now; I humbly open up this post to discussion
ty for reading all!
