Old Horse Model FAQ

Make sure Entity Model Features mod is installed alongside the resource pack—the pack alone cannot replace horse models without it. Check your resource packs menu to confirm Old Horse Model is activated and ranked above any conflicting packs.

This pack may conflict with other mods that alter horse appearance or models. Test by activating only Old Horse Model first; if horses display correctly, you can try adding other mods one at a time to find incompatibilities.

The pack restores the original mouth opening and leg animations from older versions, so you'll see the classic movement style when horses walk, run, or stand still. Horse speed and gameplay mechanics remain unchanged.

Open one of the included Blockbench project files in Blockbench, make your changes to the geometry or textures, and export it back into the resource pack's model folder. Refer to the Blockbench guide for detailed editing steps.

Yes—the pack includes texture files for different armor styles that fit the classic horse body shape. Saddles and horse armor will sit on the blocky frame the same way they did in older versions.

Yes, the resource pack works in multiplayer. Other players will see the old horse model on your end, but they'll only see it if they also have the pack installed.

Breeding works normally—the pack only changes how horses look, not their stats or breeding mechanics. Foals will also display with the old model.

This usually means Entity Model Features isn't installed or the resource pack isn't ranked high enough in your pack list. Try moving Old Horse Model to the top of your active packs and restart the game.

Yes, the pack works with shader mods since it only changes model geometry and textures, not rendering code. Your shaders will apply normally to the old horse model.

Travel to plains or savanna biomes where horses naturally spawn, or use a spawn egg in Creative mode. Once you find one, look at its snout, neck, and legs to see the thick, blocky shape from older versions.
