Psychodreams RidingMouseFix
by PsychoDreams
Psychodreams RidingMouseFix corrects the mouse response for players riding a minecart or certain other entities in vanilla Minecraft.
What it does
When a player rides a minecart or some other entity, vanilla Minecraft can make mouse movement feel sluggish, unresponsive or jerky, as if the cursor were fighting the camera. The mod targets that behavior and aims to give smooth, responsive mouse control while mounted.
Only the client needs the mod, so players install it while servers run without it. It is published for Fabric and targets 1.21.1 alone, with a single file, version 1.0, released on 2025-10-08. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and public links are available for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Smooth mouse while mounted
Camera turning stays responsive while the player sits in a minecart or another supported entity.
Fixes sluggish response
Sluggish or unresponsive mouse movement that vanilla shows while riding is addressed by the mod.
Removes jerky movement
Inconsistent, jerky camera motion during mounted riding is reduced, so the view follows the mouse evenly.
