Requires Mixin Booter and Elegant Networking to function.
What this mod does:
- Horses will no longer always face the direction the player is, instead they will face the direction they are moving.
- Horses can no longer change direction instantly (unless configured to), and will rotate to their intended direction over time.
- Gives horses very light acceleration so they feel less jarring / more smooth.
- Allows horses to sprint, increasing their speed but making them turn a lot slower.
- Allows non-undead horses to swim in water, and water will no longer dismount the player.
- Removes rearing / the horse randomly halting all movement at times.
- Wild horse stats (HP, jump, and speed) distribution, min, and max values are now configurable.
- Breeding now takes the average of the parents with a +/- modifier up to a cap instead of the average with a third totally random horse's stats (configurable).
- Horse hitboxes are a bit smaller (still roughly the same space requirements)
- Leaning mechanics while on a horse - When the player is looking down over the edge of a horse, they'll lean over for a better view.
- Drawing a bow increases lean, allowing the player to shoot down from the horse.
- Subtle head bobbing up and down while riding a moving horse.
- Configuration for all of the above.
What this mod does not do (currently, may change in the future, no guarantees): - Horse armor or saddle enchantments.
- Taming of undead horses. Use Universal Tweaks for that.
- Automatic / AFK horse movement.
- Horse calling. Quark has a whistle for this.
- Work on versions other than 1.12. Not planning to change this in the foreseeable future.
