Horse Buff Guide

What Horse Buff Changes

Horse Buff adds no new items or blocks. It removes a few long-standing horse behaviours that make riding frustrating, and it does so automatically once a horse is tamed and saddled.

Standing still. A saddled horse normally drifts away when left alone. With this mod, a saddled horse stays exactly where you leave it until you mount it again. You will not return to an empty spot where your horse used to be.

Bucking. A tamed horse you are actively riding can still rear up and throw off your aim. That is disabled while you are in the saddle, so jumping and fighting from horseback stay predictable.

Swimming. Horses stay afloat in deep water and keep moving instead of sinking and drowning beneath you. This makes crossing rivers and other bodies of water on horseback practical rather than dangerous.

All three changes apply only in the situations described: the horse must be saddled, and bucking is suppressed only while you are riding.
