Mod Features:

Interactions:

Taming: Mounts may be tamed by left-clicking them with an empty hand to repeatedly ride them until the mount stops bucking the player off. Like horses, this may take a few attempts before the mount is successfully tamed. Careful! Some mounts are hostile and will fight back during the taming process!

Riding Mounts: Tamed mounts can be ridden by left-clicking them with an empty hand and controlled with saddles. Flying mounts can be flown by repeatedly pressing the jump key to gain altitude, or by aiming via camera controls while flying. Aquatic mounts can similarly gain a “swim boost” by using the jump key underwater.

Instruct a Mount to Stay/Sit: Tamed mounts will naturally wander near (and remain close to) the last place their owner dismounted. To have a mount remain in an exact location without wandering off, right-click them with a stick to have them sit down.

Breeding Mounts: Two mounts of the same species can be bred if the following conditions are met: the mounts must both be tamed; the mounts must both have full health; and, the mounts must be each given the appropriate breeding item.

Mini Mounts: If a baby mount is given a warped fungus before it matures, it will grow into a miniature mount. These mounts cannot be ridden by normal-size people, but otherwise are the same a their larger counterparts. The mini effect can be cancelled by feeding a baby mount a crimson fungus before it matures.

Pet Mount: Right-click a tamed mount with an empty hand while sneaking to pet it.

Equipment:

Add/Remove Inventory: Mounts may be equipped with chests to add additional inventory slots to their equipment screen, and can unequip chests with shears. Total inventory capacity varies between different types of mounts, and can be adjusted in the configuration file if needed.

Open Mount Inventory: Double right-click a tamed mount with an empty hand while sneaking to open the mount inventory.

Mount Armor: Tamed mounts can be equipped/unequipped with horse armor from the inventory screen.

Summoning Staff: Can be used to teleport mounts a short distance. Link a mount by using the staff on them, and summon them by using it again. (Mounts must be in loaded chunks and there must be enough room for them to teleport in)

Summoning Staff Recipe

Other Behaviors:

Battle Mounts: Battle mounts will come to their owner’s aid in combat. This behavior is can be enabled/disabled in the configuration file .

Mount Aggression: Some mounts are naturally hostile to players and/or other mobs. Once tamed, these mounts will no longer attack other entities unless instructed to by their owner. Mount aggression/AI can be adjusted in the configuration file.
