Frequently asked questions

How do I turn a horse into a different animal?
Use an anvil to rename a nametag with the creature's name in brackets followed by your desired pet name, like "[Wolf] Fang", then use the nametag on any horse. The horse will instantly change appearance to match that creature while keeping all its original stats and riding behavior.
What mods do I need for Beyond Horses to work?
You need Entity Texture Features and Entity Model Features mods installed alongside Beyond Horses for the custom models and textures to display correctly. Without these, the resource pack won't function as intended.
Can I ride boss mobs like the Ender Dragon or Wither?
Yes, you can use nametags to transform a horse into boss creatures like the Ender Dragon, Wither, Warden, or Elder Guardian. The horse retains its normal rideable stats, so you can safely ride these powerful mobs without taking damage from their abilities.
Do flying creatures like bats or phantoms actually fly when I ride them?
No, flying creatures still move on the ground with standard walking animations—they won't actually take flight. The pack only changes their appearance, not their movement mechanics, so you'll walk or gallop normally even on a bat or phantom.
