What it does

Horseshoes adds four horseshoe tiers that attach to a horse: iron, gold, diamond and netherite. Each tier raises the horse's speed and supplies a different amount of armor, so a stronger tier trades off against the others in a fixed way. Iron and diamond horseshoes come from armorsmith trades and from loot in Overworld chests, golden ones turn up in Nether fortress and bastion chests, and netherite is made by upgrading a diamond horseshoe at a smithing table.

Anvils can put boot enchantments onto horseshoes, which adds further uses. The frost walker enchantment, for example, lets a horse cross water. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt. Fabric and NeoForge files target 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and the latest one is 1.3.3 for 1.21.1, while the Quilt line stops at 1.0.2 for 1.20.4. Both sides need it, so the server and every player must install it.

Key features

  1. Four horseshoe tiers

    Iron, gold, diamond and netherite horseshoes each raise the horse's speed by a different amount.

  2. Armor from horseshoes

    Each tier adds a set amount of armor to the mount, with gold giving the least and netherite the most.

  3. Enchanted horseshoes

    Anvils apply boot enchantments to horseshoes, such as frost walker for crossing water.

  4. Netherite upgrade

    A diamond horseshoe is upgraded to netherite in a smithing table, not found as loot.
