Riding Partners：Reforged
by LirxOwO
With Riding Partners：Reforged, two players can mount the same horse at once, with one steering and the other riding as a passenger.
What it does
A horse can carry two players at the same time. The rider controls the horse's movements, while the passenger sits behind and does not steer. Either player can change positions at any time, so the roles can be swapped during a trip.
The mod is aimed at travel and exploration on a shared horse. It is a port of an earlier Forge version, rebuilt for the 1.20.1 Fabric and Forge versions. Both loaders are supported, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod installed.
Files exist for Fabric and for Forge, both for 1.20.1. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 and the latest Forge file is also 1.0.0. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The author asks that bugs not be reported to the official issue tracker.
