Warbridle
by cewjh.i
Warbridle lets players turn a tamed horse into a war mount, with armor-mounted weapons, a jet saddle for flight and camp kits, on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
A tamed horse can be equipped with armor in the horse body slot and a Jet Saddle in the saddle slot. Once fitted, the rider fires the mounted weapons with a left click, and holding the button fires automatic weapons. Weapons bolt onto the horse armor, so the same body slot also carries the camp kits that let a player pick up a weapon, fight, or set down a trail.
Flight belongs to the Jet Saddle. A rider holds Jump to thrust upward and releases it to glide in mid-air, in a manner similar to an elytra. Optional fuel is supplied through blaze powder and fire charges, and several gameplay settings sit in the warbridle-common.toml file. Warbridle also cancels fall damage while the saddle is equipped.
Everything is crafted from Ember Ingots, which are made by cooking iron ingots in a campfire. Ember arrows and bullets craft in batches of four, and most kits can be assembled from vanilla horse armor, a saddle, an Ember Ingot and a themed item, a bow or a dispenser. Installation runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Armored war mount
A tamed horse takes weapons on its armor, and the rider fires them while riding.
Jet Saddle flight
Holding Jump thrusts the rider upward and releasing it lets the rider glide, like an elytra.
Ember Ingot crafting
Ember Ingots come from campfire-cooked iron, and they supply the ammunition and the kit components.
Configurable damage and fuel
Damage, cooldowns, fuel use, grief, fire and PvP behavior can be changed in the common config file.

Warbridle turns a tamed horse into a war mount. Weapons bolt onto horse armor. Flight belongs on the Jet Saddle. Camp kits ride in the same body slot as weapons — you pick fight or trail, not both. Everything is forged with Ember Ingots (iron ingots cooked on a campfire). Hold Jump to thrust. Release to glide…
