Horse Armor
by ArthurOrsi
Horse Armor lets players craft armor pieces for horses, mules and similar mounts on servers that run it.
What it does
Armor for mounts is made from crafting recipes rather than found only as loot, so a player can outfit a horse once the materials are gathered. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join a server that has it without installing anything. Builds cover Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.12.2 – 26.2, with Fabric API named as a requirement on the Fabric and Quilt versions. The code is not open source and the files are released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Craftable horse armor
Armor pieces for mounts are made at a crafting table, giving players a route to protect their horse without relying on chance drops.
Server-only installation
Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing it on their own game.
Mount armor on servers
Armor equips on horses when a rider chooses it, adding a visible protective layer to the animal.
