Better Horses - Making Vanilla Horses Better!

Tired of the limitations of vanilla horses? Better Horses enhances your riding experience by adding chest supports so you can store items in your horses, dual riding, and adjustable speed controls! This mod aims to make horses more useful, customizable, and fun to ride—without straying too far from the vanilla feel.

🏇 Features

  • Chests on Horses: Just like donkeys and mules, horses can now carry chests! Simply tame your horse and right-click it with a chest to expand your storage.
  • Dual Riding: Bring a friend along for the ride! Two players can mount the same horse, making adventures even more fun.
  • Sprint Mode: Need to speed up? Press CTRL to toggle sprinting on or off while on a horse.
  • Slow Mode: Take in the scenery at a leisurely pace. Press R to slow your horse down, perfect for exploring without rushing past everything, and press again to toggle off slow mode.

⚙️ Configuration Options

Better Horses comes with a common config file that lets you customize how the mod behaves. The following settings can be adjusted:

    [general]
      # Allow horses to have chests (default: true)
      doHorsesHaveChests = true

      # Allow sprinting with horses (default: true)
      canSprintWithHorses = true

      # Allow slowing down with horses (default: true)
      canSlowWithHorses = true

      # Allow two players to ride one horse (default: true)
      canDuoRideHorses = true

These settings can be found in the mod’s config file, allowing you to tweak your gameplay experience to fit your preferences.

🎠 How to Use

  • Adding Chests: Once a horse is tamed, right-click it with a chest to attach storage—just like with donkeys!
  • Sprinting: Press CTRL to toggle sprint mode on or off while riding.
  • Slow Ride Mode: Press R to toggle slow movement mode, making for a relaxing ride.
  • Dual Riding: Simply have another player right-click your horse to hop on!
