[MC-164345] Can't equip pigs, horses, mules, donkeys, llamas with saddles or horse armor using a dispenser

Expected Behavior
While players and armor stands can be equipped with armor using a dispenser, this doesn't work for animals

Current Behavior
The dispenser ejects the horse armor or saddle. This is inconsistent with dispensing other entities.

important:

this is not a feature request. Similarly MC-131061 wasn't treated as feature request.

Dispensers are plenty inconsistent. There were also tickets about dispensers not being able to shear pumpkins or mooshrooms, but those got marked as intended. Still hoping this one stays open.

Dispensers can (or used to?) place armor on villagers
why doesn't it do it for other mobs?

So this one should be invalid to

I would argue that this is also an expected behavior

I'm still confused as to why dispenser shearing of mooshrooms and pumpkins is intended but this ticket is valid. Kind of hoping they'll get implemented with this ticket, but they probably won't.

Does this also affect carpets on llamas?

EDIT: or chests?

This is a feature request.

Is it really, Lime? It's inconsistent with expected behavior. And like others said, MC-131061 wasn't treated as a feature request. What makes this different?

PR0CESS 2020-04-07T15:04:40Z

It's inconsistent behavior. Nothing should be different between dispensing armor onto armor stands and dispensing armor onto horses!

wobst.michael 2020-04-07T15:08:17Z

The inconsistency is due to a functionality (feature) that's not implemented.

slicedlime 2020-04-07T15:14:23Z

The dispenser being inconsistent doesn't mean changing it to be less so is not a feature request. You could easily argue for all kinds of functionality based on current dispenser functionality, which could be good or bad - but is certainly still in the realm of feature requests. Things being feature requests doesn't make them bad, by the way, it just means they aren't bugs.

Please move any further discussion of this to the mojira subreddit.

Slicedlime? More like, sly lime, making us think you weren't going to add this! I have a question though. The changelog does not say you can equip striders with saddles using a dispenser. Would that be reported as a bug or a feature request?

Eyal Sasson 2020-04-08T19:18:49Z

Seems like it was fixed in 20w15a.

slicedlime 2020-04-16T09:22:34Z

It was not fixed, because it was not a bug.

A new feature was added, however.

With all due respect, many tickets with inconsistent dispenser behavior are marked as invalid, why are they not marked with 'works as intended'? If the difference is ment to be the individual is intentionally making a feature request shouldn't it be said most people making reports related to inconsistent dispensers think the feature is a bug?

bugsbugsbugs 2020-04-16T16:38:49Z

Same I also wonder, why bug reports were people said it would be a feature request are marked as invalid and not works as intended. I think it does more sense to resolve them as works as intended.

thistriagonalsign 2020-04-16T17:02:41Z

I don't think this is the proper place for this kind of discussion. I believe r/Mojira is a better place.

I have created the post on r/Mojira
