Tamable Snakes [Suggestion]

Hello, I'd just like to suggest that you make snakes tamable.

My idea for it would be that they'd be like parrots where they're either sitting (coiled), wandering, or on your shoulder (coiled around your neck).

When wandering, the snake will bite anything that gets close to it instead of attacking things that the player attacks / that attack the player. This can take aggression off of the player (usually at the cost of the snake's life) or provide extra defense against enemies in the nearby area.

When coiled around the player's neck (shoulder-mounted), the snake will attack anything hostile that gets within a certain distance of the player by lashing out and biting the enemy, dealing enough knockback to keep enemies away from the player as well. This will add a sort of repellent feature to the game, allowing players to keep snakes on them to keep close-range mobs like zombies and spiders away.

Snakes could be tamed with eggs by a somewhat similar method of the Racoon, by dropping an egg nearby and letting the snake pick it up. Wild snakes will search for and eat eggs dropped by chickens in the wild as well to complement this feature. After a snake has been given enough eggs, it will stop being defensive around you and will allow you to tame it with more eggs.

Either that, or you could tame snakes with a jukebox. Snake charming lmao

I love the rattlesnakes in this mod and was really sad to see they can't be tamed (they can irl so I was a bit confused). Currently, they don't even have a function outside of their respective potion made from their rattles, so being tamable would definitely polish them up as a mob imo.

Thanks for everything you've done btw, I love this mod!
