About

Improve horses by removing stupid stuff and adding useful stuff.

Server Changes:

Horses Sit in Rafts

Rafts only because its impossible to break boats when they are in a boat. Works with horses, donkeys, mules, zombie horses, skeleton horses, camels and llamas.

Saddled Horses don't wander

Remove break speed debuff

Normally being mounted on a horse makes you mine at 1/5 the speed. Now you can actually do stuff on horseback

side by side of mining sand on a horse with/without it enabled. It is significantly faster on horseback

Improve "Step Height" capability

Increases horse step-height from 1 block to 1.1 blocks.\ This makes riding horses around path blocks way less frustrating.

side by side comparison of going down a path with the mod. Horse stops dead at a 1.1 block jump with it off, continues going without a hitch with it on

Client Changes:

Allow swimming while Mounted

Normally Horses will sink in water when you are riding them. This makes you float on the surface as if they weren't mounted. The default config turns this ability off for undead horses and camels.

swimming in river on horseback without sinking

Prevent "Bucking"

Normally horses will randomly "Buck", stopping dead in their tracks while you are riding them. This prevents them from doing that.

Fade Horse as you look down

The same applies to donkeys, mules, zombie horses, skeleton horses, camels and llamas.

Horse Head Pitch offset

Option to lower horse's head down up to 45 degrees to improve visibility. Works with horses, donkeys, mules, zombie horses and skeleton horses.

comparison of 0 vs 45 degree offset

Horses named `jeb_` become rainbow

The same can be applied to donkeys, mules, camels, llamas, zombie horses and skeleton horses.

Hotkey to open survival inventory

image

  • Pre 1.20.2
    • Horse Buff pulls from your Minecraft keybinds, so if you change your inventory/sprint key, that will change what you need to press to access your survival inventory
  • Post 1.20.2
    • A keybind for opening your inventory while on a horse has been added. ALT + Inv (ALT + E) is now the default, but you can change it to whatever you like

Legacy features (removed due to them being added to the game officially)

[Server Side] Fix rubber banding on stairs/slabs "Horse moved wrongly!" (MC-100830) (1.16.5 - 1.21.3)

side by side comparison of going up a staircase with/without the mod. The without frequently goes back a couple of steps in a disorienting manner. The with doesn't have that and results in travel being faster

[Server Side] Allow travel through portals without dismounting (1.16.5 - 1.20.6)

Minecraft Bug Tracker (MC-67) [Fixed] going through a nether portal on horseback without dismounting going through an end portal on horseback without dismounting

[Server Side] Better Breeding Logic (1.16.5 - 1.19.3)
  1. Take average of the parents' traits
  2. Random amount added/subtracted from said average
    • +/- 10% of range between max and min
  3. clamp to vanilla min/max stat

[2.1.7] Horse Buff 2.1.7 by CassieNya on Oct 09, 2026

# Alpha Update for 1.21-pre1
## Changes:
  • Remove PortalHorse as they added it to vanilla
  • Minor changes to Identifiers of mounted modifiers
  • Major rewrite of all rendering code

## How to use:
ModMenu/ClothConfig don't exist for 1.21 yet. Download their latest versions and the mod will work.

Edit config/HorseBuff.toml if you need to edit config.

## Known issues:
Opening ModMenu crashes the game. Unsure if this is at fault of ModMenu/ClothConfig

Partally translucent horses (from looking down with Horse Fade enabled) often hide stuff that is rendered behind them, even with graphics set to Fabulous!
