Mighty Steeds
by AvaAsUsual
Mighty Steeds changes how horses handle water, mining and combat, and the mod is also a balance pass for enchanted gear.
What it does
Horses move 10% faster in water and sink for a shorter time, and mining with a horse comes closer to normal mining speed. A Diamond Horse Armor treasure enchantment is added, and the jousting damage is balanced against Sharpness V Netherite. The author notes that the pack is tuned for players who max out enchanted gear and recommends editing damage values to suit a given server. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.1, for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also available. The server must run the mod, while players may add it on their own side. The license is custom and the code is not open source.
