Horse Buff

The Horse Buff mod significantly enhances interaction with horses and other rideable animals in Minecraft, eliminating annoying limitations and adding useful features for more comfortable gameplay.

Main Improvements

Server-side Changes

Horses in Rafts Now horses, donkeys, mules, zombie horses, skeleton horses, llamas, and camels can be placed in rafts, opening up new possibilities for water travel.

Saddled Horses Don't Wander Horses with saddles will no longer wander aimlessly around the area, staying in place where you left them.

Removed Mining Speed Penalty Previously, when riding a horse, block breaking speed was reduced by 5 times. Now you can work efficiently without dismounting from your horse.

Improved Step Height Horse step height has been increased from 1 to 1.1 blocks, making movement along paths and uneven terrain much more convenient.

Client-side Changes

Swimming While Mounted Horses no longer sink in water while being ridden - they float on the surface like regular animals. By default, this feature is disabled for undead horses and camels.

No Random Stopping Horses will no longer suddenly "buck" and stop during movement.

Horse Transparency When Looking Down When you look down, the horse becomes semi-transparent, improving visibility when descending into caves or down hills.

Horse Head Pitch Offset An option allows lowering the horse's head up to 45 degrees for better forward visibility. Works with horses, donkeys, mules, and undead horses.

Rainbow Horses If you name a horse (or other rideable animal) "jeb_", it will change colors like a rainbow sheep.

Hotkeys Added a convenient hotkey for opening the survival inventory while riding a horse.

Legacy Features

Some features were removed from the mod as they were officially added to the game:

• Fixing "rubber banding" on stairs and slabs
• Passing through portals without dismounting
• Improved horse breeding logic

Compatibility

The mod works with horses, donkeys, mules, zombie horses, skeleton horses, camels, and llamas, providing comprehensive improvement to interaction with all rideable animals in the game.
