Mod Horse Buff

Horse Buff, practical horse improvements

Horse Buff is an archived Fabric mod for Minecraft Java Edition that refines horse travel without changing the spirit of the game. It lets ridden horses swim, sit in rafts, stop wandering when saddled, climb path blocks more smoothly, and mine without the usual mounted speed penalty. It also prevents sudden bucking, improves visibility by fading the mount when looking down and adjusting its head, and adds a hotkey for the survival inventory.

These thoughtful quality of life improvements make horses more useful for exploration and transport on a Minecraft server. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for vanilla focused adventures, while noting that its feature set is now continued by Horseman.
