Fast Horse
Fast Horse changes how horses move, jump and breed, with speed boosts from apples and potions and a stat readout on each horse's name tag.
What it does
Horses in the base game are slow and hard to tell apart. Fast Horse gives mounts higher speed and new behaviour: an apple kept in the first hotbar slot feeds a mounted horse automatically, which triggers a 15-second 2x speed boost. A speed potion used on a mount applies a 4x to 8x speed effect that lasts longer than the usual potion duration, which helps when crossing large maps.
The mod also covers falls and breeding. Fast Horse resets a horse's fall distance while it sprints at high speed, so the mount takes no fall damage, even from steep cliffs. Horses bred from two parents fed Golden Apples can produce foals whose stats go beyond the usual vanilla caps. Each horse's movement speed and jump strength are shown through its custom name, for example 3432,9781 for speed 0.3432 and jump strength 0.9781.
Fast Horse runs on client and server and is published for NeoForge only, for game version 26.1.2. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Apple speed boost
An apple kept in the first hotbar slot is consumed by a mounted horse, which then gets a 15-second 2x speed boost.
Potion mounting
Right-clicking a horse with a speed potion applies a 4x to 8x speed effect with a longer duration.
Fall damage immunity
While sprinting at high speed, the horse's fall distance is reset, so it takes no fall damage on steep drops.
Golden Apple breeding
Foals from parents fed Golden Apples can exceed the usual vanilla stat limits, with stats shown on the name tag.

Use cases
Long-distance travel
Players crossing large open-world maps can use speed boosts and potions to cover ground faster.
Horse breeding
Players who breed horses can use Golden Apples to aim for foals with higher movement speed and jump strength.
Who it’s for: Players who use horses for travel in survival worlds, and server owners who want faster mounts on a shared server. Both sides need the mod for the speed and stat features to work.
