Nice Swimming Mounts
I don't know my version or loader
📖 Description
Mojang finally adds swimming horses with the Mounts of Mayhem Game Drop - which makes this data pack kind of redundant. Therefore it'll be archived.
Nice Swimming Mobs allows players to swim with their favorite mounts. Simply ride into water and start swimming. When a mount is submerged you can swim up by pressing the Sprint-Key. Mounts also don't take drowning damage when ridden. (Striders are technically supported but keep in mind that they take damage when in water.)
Supported Mounts:
- Strider
- Camel
- Horse
- Zombie Horse
- Skeleton Horse
- Donkey
- Mule
- Llama
- Trader Llama
- Pig
🛠️ How to, Instructions & Commands
The datapack usually just needs to be installed. There is nothing else you have to do. It just works out of the box.
But if you are playing on a PaperMC Server (or a PaperMC Fork like Purpur) make sure to set allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards in your paper config files to true in order for everything to work properly.
