HorseOpacity

by ebicep

HorseOpacity lets players change how opaque a horse looks while they ride it, for clients that want a clearer view of the mount.

What it does

Riding a horse with HorseOpacity installed makes the animal semi-transparent, so the rider can see the ground and terrain beneath the mount. Only the client needs the mod, and servers run without it. Builds cover 1.20.2 – 1.21 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Adjustable horse opacity

    While mounted, the horse is drawn with reduced opacity, so the terrain under it stays visible.

  2. Client-side rendering

    The change applies only on the player's own screen, and multiplayer servers do not need to run it.

  3. Cloth Config options

    Settings are exposed through Cloth Config API, so the opacity can be tuned in the game menus.

Questions

Does HorseOpacity need to be installed on the server?

No. The mod is client-side only, so players install it alone and the server runs without it.
