🐴 BetterHorse: Realistic Mount Controls & Physics
BetterHorse overhauls the default riding controls in Minecraft by separating your camera look direction from your mount's movement, providing a smoother and more realistic riding experience.
✨ Features
- Key-Based Steering & Decoupled Camera: Turn your mount using A and D while holding W, instead of forcing the mount to instantly snap to where you look. Player camera movement is capped at a realistic 90° relative to the mount to prevent awkward head turns.
- Speed & Gait Mechanics: Mounts move at a realistic 33% walking speed during standard riding. Engage Sprint to unleash their full speed!
- In-Place Rotation & Anti-Sliding: Steering while stationary smoothly rotates your mount around its central axis, eliminating awkward sideways sliding.
- Body-Aligned Jump Physics: Jumps are locked to the mount's actual facing direction rather than your camera angle.
- In-Game Cloth Config Support: Easily customize turning speeds and control modes directly from the in-game Mods menu.
- Vanilla Friendly & Smart Exclusions: Works smoothly with standard Horses and Camels. Rod-controlled mounts (Pigs and Striders) retain their classic vanilla steering mechanics.
- In-Game Cloth Config Integration: Full support for Cloth Config! Customize turning speeds and control modes directly from the in-game Mods menu.
- In-Place Rotation & Anti-Sliding: Pressing A/D without holding W now smoothly rotates your mount in place without awkward sideways sliding.
- Realistic Gait & Speed Control: Mounts now move at a realistic 33% walking speed during normal riding. Engage Sprint to unleash their full speed!
