What's new

 

  • Horse/rider inventory switcher: switch between horse equipment and your own armor/offhand from the horse inventory, using a button or keybind.
  • Added the horse icon, player-face indicator, switching animation, and tooltips for that panel.
  • Updated slot visibility, positioning, and item transfers to support the two equipment views.
  • Separate horse-combat settings: charge bashing, kicks, defending the owner, and spooking when hit now have individual toggles alongside the master combat switch.
  • In-game charge toggle: players can switch charge bashing off for themselves; the charge meter hides while disabled. Server restrictions still apply.
  • Configurable HUD placement: choose the side of the hotbar and spacing for the charge meter and Glidewing Harness gauge.
  • Adjusted HUD positioning around occupied offhand slots and left-handed controls.
  • American Paint “Spoils” ability: mounted kills receive Looting I at bond 0, II at bond 40, and III at bond 100. Stronger weapon Looting takes precedence; the bonuses do not stack.
  • Lightning and creeper spooking: nearby strikes/explosions can startle horses, with resistance affected by bond and class. Unridden owned horses ordered to Stay hold their ground.
  • Cart movement improvements: carts lag slightly behind turns, tilt with terrain, and ease between positions instead of remaining rigidly aligned.
  • Cart flotation: attached and parked carts respond to the water surface.
  • Updated cart passenger positions and reins to follow the cart’s movement, tilt, and lift.
  • Horse-rendering jitter fixes: corrected how world rendering and GUI previews share animation state.
  • Adjusted mounted movement validation to reduce unwanted movement corrections.
  • Horses align with the rider’s facing direction when mounting.
  • Updated handbook pages, configuration descriptions, and translations for the new features.

Modded-biome spawning 

  • Added breed-specific modded-biome spawn tags for all 15 breeds.
  • Added an aggregate modded horse-spawn tag.
  • Allowed eligible modded Overworld biomes to receive horse spawns.
  • Extended breed selection to use those tags, allowing datapacks to customize distribution.
