Adds a new enchantment to Horse Armour of any type.

To obtain, throw Horse Armour and 1 Lapis onto an enchantment table while you have 5 levels of XP. This will give the item the level 1 version of the enchantment.
If you want level 2, you need 2 Lapis and 8 Levels.
Works with any type of Horse Armour.
If you're trying for Level 2, either throw the Lapis first or throw it already in a stack of 2 or you will likely just get the level 1 enchantment.

There's a delay of roughly 2 seconds once you trample something before you can trample again. This is to prevent nearly instant shredding of anything that can be hit.
You need to be moving to trample something.
You can't trample horses, but everything else is fair game.
Since you're trampling things underneath you, there's no knock-back

Due to my method of dealing damage, it can be buggy with 'Max Health Boost' effect and deal a lot more damage.
I do mean a lot. However, 'Max Health Boost' cannot be gained in vanilla survival, so it should be fine.

Mobs also will not panic if you run them over. I still can't really figure out a decent way of working around this, so it's staying as a feature for now.
Currently methods like hitting them with a snowball or arrow leave behind particles and also generally hits the horse instead of what you want to trample.
You could just assume that being trampled underneath a horse dazes them - that's why they get slowness.

Ignores armour, so probably not that balanced in PvP. Then again, End Crystals are a thing.

Could also stand to be more optimised, but shouldn't lag unless you're somehow playing on a Nintendo DSi.
