Description
🐴 SmoothMount
SmoothMount overhauls the mounting and dismounting mechanics in Minecraft, replacing instant teleportation with smooth, natural animations. The mod adds a cinematic touch to interacting with mounts, making gameplay more immersive and visually pleasing.

✨ How it Works?
In vanilla Minecraft, the player instantly teleports onto the creature's back, which often looks abrupt and breaks immersion. SmoothMount fixes this:
- Mounting Animation: A full animation plays showing the character climbing into the saddle.
- Dismounting Animation: When getting off, the player smoothly lowers themselves to the ground instead of instantly appearing standing next to the mount.
- Dynamic Camera: The camera gently follows the player's movement during the animation, avoiding sharp jumps in viewing angle and creating a sense of presence.

🐾 Supported Entities
The current beta versions support the following mobs with full animation implementation:
- 🐎 Horses, Donkeys, Mules
- 🐷 Pigs
⚠️ Limitations
On other rideable entities (camels, striders, boats, minecarts, etc.), animations are not yet played, and mounting occurs in the standard way. Support for additional transport will be added in future updates. Please note that existing animations may also be refined or changed in future updates.
⚔️ Conflicts
- Entity Model Features (EMF): There is partial support, but animations may appear jittery or stuttering.
- Other mods have not been tested
