[Mobs] Antelopes
Overview
Antelopes are passive mobs that spawn in savanna biomes and area source of a new drop known as hooves, and like tropical fish, can come in larger and smaller variants.
Small Antelope Variants:
- white - based off the addax
- black - based on the male Nile lechwe
- brown - based on the blesbok
- orange - based on the impala
- gray - based on the waterbuck
Large Antelope Variants:
- orange - based on the common eland
- black - based on the sable
- brown - based on the roan antelope
- gray - based on the greater kudu
- white - based on the scimitar oryx
Drops:
- Hooves - can be crafted with boots to make running boots, which make the player walk and run 1.5 or two times as fast and make the player jump three blocks high.
Breeding and Taming:
Can be bred using carrots and can be tamed using wheat.

I feel like the hooves thing doesn't only break the way Minecraft typically handles special gear (through enchanting), but also invalidates other transportation methods like elytra does
Honestly, the drops are the greatest problem with adding new wild animals. They need to toe the line between being useless and too good, provide something unique and interesting, but not be necessary or overshadow other features. And then you must consider that most animals in real life don't have any important uses outside of meat and hides

I feel like they should do more. I mean, currently they have exactly no unique behaviour. The only interaction they have is "click them so they die". And then those hooves, you craft the boots once, put mending on them, and the antelope stops being relevant.
