Doped Horses - Faster, Enchantable & Configurable horses
With Doped Horses, a rider's horse moves faster on the blocks it walks over, and the speed depends on the block underneath.
What it does
Doped Horses changes how horses move. Horseshoes can be enchanted, and an enchanted horseshoe raises speed on the blocks it is matched to, such as water, soul sand or snow. Boost rules are written as regular expressions, so the server owner decides which blocks count. Jump speed, step height and armor are also adjustable in the server config.
Two players can ride one horse on the supported versions. Right-clicking a horse with creative mode tames it at once, and a saddled horse stops moving when it is equipped. The config is edited by hand on the server, since there is no configuration screen. The wiki has crafting setup tips.
Installation needs Architectury API and MidnightLib on Fabric or NeoForge. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files cover 1.21.1 and run through 26.3, with the latest build 1.3.1-26.3 dated 2026-10-02. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source.
Key features
Enchantable horseshoes
Horseshoes carry enchantments such as Frost Walker, Soul Walker, walk water and run, which change how the horse crosses each block.
Block-based speed boosts
Speed boosts apply to blocks matched by regex rules, so server owners can list exactly which surfaces make horses faster.
Tuning values
Step height, jump speed and armor can be set in the server config to suit the world's pace.
Creative taming
Right-clicking a horse in creative mode tames it instantly, which helps when testing horse setups.

How it compares
Ultimate Horseshoes is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, runs on Fabric for 26.1 – 26.3 and is client and server. Better Frost Walker is server required with the client optional, under All rights reserved, and covers 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Copper Horseshoes is an MIT-licensed server-side mod for 1.21.4, so the client may leave it out.

What the author says
Make sure you have Architectury + MidnightLib. Both are needed for Forge & Fabric. Server config isn’t in the GUI — check the Wiki!
