# Vanilla* Horses

Ride horses in your world again!

This mod is a long-needed update to horses that still stays within the spirit of vanilla Minecraft.

It improves horse movement, lets you customize horse armor, adds horseshoes for walking across

rivers, and more.

##  Overview

Horses are slow compared to endgame modes of transportation like elytras. They should be attractive

early- and midgame, but they’re impractical in face of common terrain features like forests and

rivers. They’re also very outdated—except for breeding tweaks in 2023 ([JE 1.19.4](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_1.19.4)/[BE 1.19.70](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Bedrock_Edition_1.19.70)),

they’ve seen no meaningful improvements in their mechanics since their first introduction in 2013 ([JE 1.6.1](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_1.6.1)).

This mod catches up horses to modern Minecraft and makes them a viable, competitive and pleasant

mode of transportation.

(Bonus: This also makes the Frost Walker enchantment useful instead of a novelty. Applied to

horseshoes, it lets your horse run across water with ease.)



  



##  All Changes

### Horse Movement

- **Remove leaves collision in certain cases** for ridden horses (and other ridden animals),

  especially under trees

  - Leaves lose collision if at your horse’s eye level and above a non-collidable block.

  - This means your horse can navigate forests with ease as well as run on treetops as before.

- **Automatically leash** horses (and other rideable animals) **when automatically dismounting

  underwater**, if leads are in the player’s inventory

- Horses (and donkeys and mules) **move faster in water**—horses in real life are excellent

  swimmers!

### Horse Armor

- Add **netherite horse armor** ,

  crafted by upgrading diamond horse armor

- Support **enchanting** with all generic and armor-specific enchantments (e.g., Protection, Thorns)

- Support **trimming** with all armor trims

- Add **durability** according to its material

- Miscellaneous fixes for existing bugs:

  - [`MC-16829`](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-16829): The horse armor model does not show the

    enchantment glint effect

  - [`MC-275395`](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-275395): Some model parts of horse armor do not

    have a visible 0.1F cube deformation

  - [`MC-275574`](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-275574): Rendered horse armor textures are

    asymmetric

### Horseshoe

- Add **horseshoes** ,

  crafted with copper ingots

- **Speeds up horses** (and donkeys and mules) when equipped in the new horseshoe slot

- Support **enchanting** with all generic and boots-specific enchantments (Depth Strider, Feather

  Falling, Frost Walker, Soul Speed)

- De-facto fixes for existing bugs:

  - [`MC-268935`](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-268935): The frost walker enchantment doesn’t

    function on horse armor

  - [`MC-268936`](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-268936): The soul speed enchantment doesn’t

    function on horse armor
