Invisible Mounts
by BattryLeaf
Invisible Mounts is a Fabric client mod that fades or hides a rider's own mount, from boats and horses to pigs and happy ghasts, so the view is not blocked while riding.
What it does
Riding a boat, minecart, horse, camel, strider, pig or happy ghast can block the view. Invisible Mounts lets the player choose which of these mounts are faded or hidden while the player is riding them. Donkeys, mules, skeleton horses, zombie horses, camels and striders are all covered by the same settings.
The mod offers two modes. Fade makes the mount partly see-through, and Full Invisible hides it completely. Boats and minecarts only support Full Invisible. Saddles, harnesses and armor stay visible even when the body of the mount is hidden or faded, and nametags remain visible on hidden or faded entities.
Invisible Mounts needs Fabric API, Cloth Config and ModMenu, and it is installed on the client only. Files cover Minecraft 26.1 – 26.2 and are released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Per-mount settings
Each supported mount type can be toggled to faded, hidden or left normal from a settings screen.

Fade keeps the mount faintly visible, while Full Invisible removes it from the view entirely.
Equipment stays visible
Saddles, harnesses and armor remain drawn even when the mount body is hidden or faded.
Rebindable settings key
A key opens the settings screen in game, and changes are saved automatically when the screen is closed.

Use cases
Clear view while riding
A player on a boat or a horse who needs to see the terrain ahead can hide the mount without leaving the saddle.
Happy ghast flights
Players flying a happy ghast can fade its body so the sky and the route ahead stay visible.
Who it’s for: Players who ride boats, horses, minecarts or happy ghasts often and find the mount blocks their view. The mod is only needed on the client.
How it compares
Better Mounts is a Fabric mod for 26.2 that runs on client and server, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Bridle – Unified Riding covers 26.1 – 26.3 with the same client and server environment and the same All rights reserved license. Happy Ghast+ is server-side only, under the MIT License, and covers 26.1 – 26.2. Invisible Mounts differs by being client-side only and by changing only how mounts are drawn for the player.
