Yay, breeding skeleton horses!
Actually, we can try something along the lines of "feeding" types. One can restore health, other can make mob neutral/friendly (wolfes. Also, tamable ghasts), third one can be breeding.
Also, we might need "interaction" types, for when player right-clicks on mob. I can think of right clicking a tamed horse would change its movement type. Reason to separate it from simply being a RMB hook, as I can see, could be that when you right-click a mob with a food it can interact one way, but when you do it, let's say, with a sword or empty-handed - this should be considered an interaction. This way we won't have to write plugins to simply change mob's interaction strategy with noisy checks about what was used to right-click. Besides, different mobs will have different heal/tame/breed items, checking for those might be a little pain in the ass (most likely somewhat along the lines of reading mobs configs and storing it (again, this time in plugin) in RAM. RAM costs would be almost non-existent, but they will bug me).
The other "pro" for interaction types is the ability to make zombie trader for RPG server and whatnot. We find/spawn a zombie via plugin, set hostility for this mob only, change interaction type - boom, zombie trader. Maybe even little friendly zombie village.
