Truly Custom Horse Tack
Truly Custom Horse Tack lets players build horse tack from scratch at a Saddler Block, choosing colors, patterns and pieces instead of starting from an empty saddle and bridle.
What it does
A Saddler Block is added to the game. It works like a loom for horse armor: players pick a base, dye it and apply patterns, and the result is shown on the horse in the preview. The default custom tack is empty, including the saddle and bridle, so each piece is chosen by the player. Included patterns cover several themes, among them winter, cute and racing styles, and dyed leather armor is drawn correctly over the base texture.
The mod also adds horse jump blocks that behave like stone walls, with customizable jump heights, and a set of concrete colors. Horse Potions alter horse stats in creative mode only. The mod is meant to be used together with Realistic Horse Genetics, which it builds its horse armor textures for, and the author credits Sekelsta on that project. Stat values are converted into human-readable numbers using math from TeaJ4y. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with 1.6.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.
