Better Horses - Enhancing Minecraft's Standard Horses!

Tired of the limitations of regular horses in the game? This mod significantly improves your riding experience by adding the ability to install chests for item storage, allowing two players to ride the same horse, and providing speed control! All changes maintain the vanilla Minecraft spirit, making horses much more useful, customizable, and enjoyable to use.

Main Features

Now your horses can transport items - simply tame a horse and use a chest on it, after which you'll gain additional storage space for items. Embark on adventures with friends thanks to the dual riding feature: two players can mount the same horse for exciting journeys.

The speed control system offers convenient pace adjustment. Press CTRL to activate trotting mode for quickly covering long distances, or use the R key for a calm ride at a slow pace, perfect for exploring the surrounding world.

Mod Configuration

The mod provides flexible settings through the configuration file:

[general]
  # Allow installing chests on horses (default: true)
  doHorsesHaveChests = true

  # Allow trotting mode with horses (default: true)
  canSprintWithHorses = true

  # Allow slow riding with horses (default: true)
  canSlowWithHorses = true

  # Allow dual horse riding (default: true)
  canDuoRideHorses = true

Usage

Tame a horse and use a chest on it to create transportation with ample storage. While mounted, press CTRL to switch to speed mode or R for a leisurely stroll. For dual riding, a second player can simply interact with an already saddled animal.
