Horse Buff
About
Improve horses by removing stupid stuff and adding useful stuff.
Server Changes:
Rafts only because its impossible to break boats when they are in a boat. Works with horses, donkeys, mules, zombie horses, skeleton horses, camels and llamas.


Normally being mounted on a horse makes you mine at 1/5 the speed. Now you can actually do stuff on horseback

Increases horse step-height from 1 block to 1.1 blocks.
This makes riding horses around path blocks way less frustrating.

Client Changes:
Normally Horses will sink in water when you are riding them. This makes you float on the surface as if they weren't mounted. The default config turns this ability off for undead horses and camels.

Normally horses will randomly "Buck", stopping dead in their tracks while you are riding them. This prevents them from doing that.
The same applies to donkeys, mules, zombie horses, skeleton horses, camels and llamas.

Option to lower horse's head down up to 45 degrees to improve visibility. Works with horses, donkeys, mules, zombie horses and skeleton horses.

The same can be applied to donkeys, mules, camels, llamas, zombie horses and skeleton horses.


- Pre 1.20.2
- Horse Buff pulls from your Minecraft keybinds, so if you change your inventory/sprint key, that will change what you need to press to access your survival inventory
- Post 1.20.2
- A keybind for opening your inventory while on a horse has been added. ALT + Inv (ALT + E) is now the default, but you can change it to whatever you like
Legacy features (removed due to them being added to the game officially)

Minecraft Bug Tracker (MC-67) [Fixed]

- Take average of the parents' traits
- Random amount added/subtracted from said average
- +/- 10% of range between max and min
- clamp to vanilla min/max stat
