Bad Horse Fix
NOTE: As of Minecraft 1.21.2 this bug appears to be fixed! The latest version of the mod (4.0.0) should be compatible with EVERY version of Iris/Oculus that includes the bug.
About
This mod fixes horse markings appearing above horse armor when using Iris or Oculus shaders mods.
Basically, this mod checks everything being rendered to see if it contains "horse", "armor", or "markings" and if it finds anything, it forces it to be rearranged. There doesn't seem to be any noticeable performance hit.
The mod now (as of 4.0.0) looks for just vanilla horse armor and sends it to the end of the Iris rendering batch, so that it's rendered last, above markings. This also means less conflicts, and better performance (though performance never seemed to be an issue)
Bugs
If you run into any glitches, bugs, or problems of any kind, please report them on the GitHub Issues page for this mod. If issues go unreported, they also go unfixed!

Download
I rewrote the logic part of the mod so that it should be lighter-weight and no longer conflict with any mods. The mod now checks for *just* vanilla horse armor and moves it to the end of the Iris render batch, so that it is rendered above the markings.
