Beyond Horses Resource Pack transforms the look of your standard mounts into almost any creature in the game. It replaces normal horses with other animals and monsters when you use a specific naming trick. You get to ride a giant wolf, a creeper, or even an ender dragon across the land. The pack keeps all the normal riding controls but completely changes what you see on your screen.
To use the Beyond Horses Resource Pack, you just need an anvil and a nametag to start building your own unique stable. If you ever wanted to ride a giant spider up a hill or sit on the back of a flying phantom, this pack makes it happen. The visual changes apply instantly as soon as you name the animal.
