Mounts stay still

Name: Mounts stay still
Author: SozoKa

Mounts stay still keeps a horse or other mount in place after its rider dismounts, so it no longer wanders off on its own.

What it does

The mod changes how a mount behaves once its rider leaves it, so the animal remains where it was left instead of drifting away. It is a server-side change: only the server needs it, and players may add it on their own client but do not have to. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build covering 26.3 and snapshot builds also published.

Key features

Mount stays in place
A mount that has been left by its rider remains where it stopped instead of walking away.
Saddle handling
The saddle is removed when the rider leaves the mount, so the animal is not left riderless with equipment still attached.
Data pack option
The same behavior is also available as a data pack for servers that prefer not to install a mod.
