Mojang released a new snapshot for the PC version of "Minecraft" on Tuesday that previews some of the new features coming in the 1.5 Redstone Update. One of those new features is the mobs riding other mobs. Beware the spider-pig.
The exact method of stacking a mob upon a mob upon a mob in "Minecraft" has not been defined yet but super-crafter SethBling has already added a way to do this in MCEdit. The StackEntities filter for the program allows players to combine all entities in selection into a single stack, sorting by altitude.
Mojang expects the 1.5 Redstone Update to be released for the PC version of "Minecraft" sometime in early March.
You can check out the complete list of changes in the "Minecraft" 13w09a Snapshot below and download it directly from Mojang. It is recommended that only experienced players download snapshots as it may cause issues with existing worlds.
