Frequently asked questions

How do I start using this mod?
Mount any rideable mob like a horse or donkey, then press F5 to switch to third-person view. Your camera is now free to move independently—use your mouse or controller stick to look around, and press WASD to steer your mount toward where you're looking.
Why does my mount keep turning when I look around?
Make sure you're in third-person view (press F5). If your mount still turns instantly when you move the camera, check that the mod is loaded correctly and that no conflicting camera mod is overriding the decoupled steering behavior.
Can I use this mod with a controller?
Yes, if you have the Controllable mod installed, this mod adds full analog stick support for mount steering. Your right stick controls the camera and your left stick guides the mount toward your viewing direction.
What does mountTurnSpeed do?
This setting controls how quickly your mount rotates to face the direction you're looking. A higher value makes your mount respond faster, while a lower value creates slower, more deliberate turning.
