AutoMount
by Brov
AutoMount lets a player seat entities into boats and minecarts with a single click, and a Loader Stick chooses which ones.
What it does
Holding a Loader Stick and pressing Shift with right click on an entity sends it into a nearby boat or minecart. AutoMount covers animals and mobs as well as vehicles, so a farm animal can be carried from one place to another without being led by hand. The Loader Stick is crafted from 2x Iron Ingot, 3x Chain and 2x Stick.
Press N to switch between Single and Multi mode. Single mode selects one entity at a time, while Multi mode lets the player collect several entities and load them into different vehicles. The mod is for Forge on 1.20.1, and its files target the 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 range, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest release.
AutoMount runs on client and server, so both sides need it. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features

A right click with the Loader Stick after Shift loads the chosen entity into the boat or minecart in front of the player.
Single and Multi modes
Pressing N switches the Loader Stick between selecting one entity and selecting several at once.
Animal and mob transport
Animals and other mobs can be placed in vehicles, so they can be moved with minecarts and boats.

Use cases
Moving livestock
A farmer can load animals into a boat or minecart and transport them across a world without leading each one.
Organizing vehicles on a server
Server owners running a transport-focused world can let players move mobs and entities quickly between areas.
Who it’s for: Players who move animals or entities around a world with boats and minecarts, and server owners who want players to do the same. Both sides must run the mod.
