Sweety's Horse Armor Tweaks
by Sweetygamer2
With Sweety's Horse Armor Tweaks installed, each vanilla and modded horse armor gives a horse a small boost to speed and jump height.
What it does
Sweety's Horse Armor Tweaks changes the stats of horse armor. Leather, iron, gold and diamond armor each add a set bonus to speed and jump height, and the mod adds Netherite and Enderite values for armors from other mods. Getting the armors and crafting them stays as it is in vanilla, and only the stats a horse gains while wearing one are changed.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it for the boosts to apply, while players may leave it out. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge across eight game versions, 1.19 – 1.21.1, with 2.1.0 as the latest file for each loader. Caverns & Chasms and Galosphere are optional dependencies that add materials the mod can value.
Key features
Vanilla armor buffs
Leather armor gives +5% speed and +5% jump height, iron gives +5% speed and +15% jump height, gold gives +15% speed and +5% jump height, and diamond gives +20% speed and +20% jump height.
Modded material values
Netherite and Enderite armor from other mods receive their own bonuses, and other armors are balanced against the vanilla ones.
Datapack-based value control
Stat values load at startup from a JSON file per item, so server owners can adjust or add armor through a datapack on version 1.20 and later.
