Ride Casually
by Xiaoyu_2009
Ride Casually lets players ride entities and blocks on NeoForge 1.21.1, with a configuration file that controls which ones are allowed.
What it does
Players can mount creatures and certain blocks, letting a rider sit on an entity or a block rather than only on a horse or boat. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The source code is public under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the project open source.
A configuration file holds whitelists and blacklists for entities and blocks, with switches to enable or disable each option. The riding feature is turned on by default and can be toggled from that file. Only NeoForge files exist, and the 1.0.0 build for 1.21.1 is the only release, dated 2025-11-01.
While a player rides another player, the ridden player's view is adjusted so the rider's legs are no longer shown, and the rider's collision box is handled so the mount does not block movement. Yuhan's Ride Config covers similar configuration ground, but the two mods are separate projects.
Key features
Riding creatures
Players can ride creature entities, not only horses and boats.
Riding blocks
Players can sit on blocks, with the choice of which blocks allow it set in the configuration.
Whitelists and blacklists
Entities and blocks are filtered by whitelists and blacklists, each controlled by an enable or disable switch.
Player riding view
A rider on another player is hidden from the ridden player's view so the rider's legs do not obstruct it.
