Dynamic Motion
by lua_xvv
Dynamic Motion changes how a player's view moves while riding horses, minecarts, boats and elytra, and adds motion effects for other transports.
What it does
Dynamic Motion is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the player's game needs it and a server runs without it. Its effects cover horses, minecarts, elytras and more, and the author lists swimming, boating and Happy Ghasts among the supported forms of transportation. Files target 1.21.11 and 26.2, with 1.2.1 for 26.2 as the latest build from 2026-09-05.
The mod builds its animations on a fork of the View Bobbing system, so it can still inject motion while View Bobbing is disabled. The author notes that only some field-of-view effects are supported, and that the list of supported mobs and methods is still being extended. The source is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Vehicle motion effects
Horses, minecarts, elytras and boats get dynamic camera movement while the player rides or flies them.
Swimming and boating
Swimming and boating are covered by the same motion system, giving water travel its own view changes.
Happy Ghast support
Motion effects also apply when the player rides a Happy Ghast.
View Bobbing integration
Animations run through a fork of the View Bobbing system and still apply when View Bobbing is turned off.

How it compares
Elytra Revamped is a Fabric mod released under the MIT License and open source, with files for 1.21.4 – 26.3, and it is required on the server while the client may skip it. Kaffee's Dual Ride (Updated) is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, runs on Fabric for 1.21.2 – 26.3, and needs both client and server. Vertical Bobbing is client-side only, targets 1.14 – 1.21.11 and is not open source. Dynamic Motion is also client-side only and has the same environment as Vertical Bobbing, but focuses on motion for transport forms.
