Craftable Horse Armor is a data pack that lets players craft horse armor and saddles from leather, iron, gold and diamond.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.13 – 26.3

What it does

Installing the data pack adds new crafting recipes for horse armor in iron, gold and diamond, each made from the matching metal and leather. Saddles are crafted from leather and some iron. Recipes are found in the crafting table after the world reloads with the reload command.

The data pack is placed in the world's datapacks folder, and the reload command loads it without restarting the game. Equipped horses gain extra protection from the armor, and a saddle is what makes a horse rideable and controllable. Only the server must run the data pack, and players may join without installing anything.

The data pack is published for 26.3 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest file is 1.21.2-26.3+mod, dated 2026-10-04.

Key features

  1. Horse armor recipes

    Iron, gold and diamond horse armor each have a recipe that uses the matching metal and leather.

  2. Crafted saddles

    Saddles are made from leather and some iron, and a saddle is required to ride and steer a horse.

  3. Extra protection

    Armored horses take less damage, so players can equip them for longer trips and fights.

  4. Crafting table access

    All new recipes appear in the crafting table, so no separate machine is needed.
