Better Mounts

by foper

Better Mounts lets villagers ride along on horses, mules, donkeys, camels and llamas, and adds an extra seat so a rider can share a mount with a villager.

What it does

Villagers can be pushed toward a mount in the same way a boat or minecart is entered, so a villager settles into the saddle and the animal carries it. The mod covers horses, mules, donkeys, camels and llamas, letting a player move villagers over distances without walking them.

The feature is built around passenger seats: a mount that carries a villager gains an additional seat, so a player can ride alongside the villager. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on Fabric only. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Snapshot builds are not published.

Builds exist for 26.2 only, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.2, a beta release dated 2026-07-21. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

HorseStats is also client-side only, for Fabric 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Better Mounts differs by requiring both sides and by carrying villagers on mounts rather than showing mount information.
