Vinaigrette and Bley's mounts
by bley
Vinaigrette and Bley's mounts overhauls horse behavior in Minecraft, with new movement, markings, swimming and armor-slot options for riding mounts.
What it does
The mod reworks mounts, mainly horses, with an update to horse movement that aims for a more lifelike riding feel. Horses gain new markings, enhanced animations, the ability to swim while ridden, and a capriole move triggered by pressing the sprint key. Mounts can be ridden through leaves and travel through forests.
Horses can carry an item in a carpet armor slot as decoration, projectiles can be aimed freely while held with the F5 key, and a horse can stay around its owner. Fence gates can merge with each other. Installation needs Fabric API, and the mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.10 – 1.21.11 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
The latest Fabric file is 1.1.5 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-07-28 in the beta channel. Source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly.

Capriole on sprint
Pressing the sprint key while mounted triggers a capriole, a jump move for horses.
Armor slot decoration
A carpet armor slot lets a horse carry a decorative item, adding visual variety to tack.
