Better Mount Steering

Showcase

Decoupled mount camera and smoother lock-on body turns while mounted. Forge 1.20.1, NeoForge 1.21.1, Fabric 1.20.1, Fabric 1.21.1.

Loaders

Loader Minecraft Mod version
Forge 1.20.1 1.0.5
NeoForge 1.21.1 1.0.5
Fabric 1.20.1 1.0.0
Fabric 1.21.1 1.0.5

Features

All loaders

  • Mouse moves the camera separately from the mount in third person; WASD steers the mount toward where you're looking. Works without Better Third Person.
  • With Shoulder Surfing Reloaded, stops SSR from dragging the camera toward mount steering while decoupled.
  • Controllable: right stick moves the decoupled mount camera like the mouse.

Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.1

  • Smooth body turns during Better Lockon mount lock-on (BLO's default 8-way snap replaced with trailing)
  • No camera flicker when you release lock-on on a mount
  • No body snap back to mount forward on lock-off while sprinting
  • Epic Fight TPS camera backs off while mount steering is active; returns on dismount or when you stop steering

Config

config/bettermountsteering-client.toml:

  • mountTurnSpeed - how fast the body catches the camera while steering (default 0.25)

Forge and NeoForge also have:

  • smoothLockOnMountTurn - smooth BLO mount lock-on (default true; false = vanilla BLO snap)
  • bloLockOnTurnSmoothness - lock-on turn smoothness (default 0.5)
