About Horses can Float
From ModrinthLets Horses swim when you ride them
Want to use Horses but don't want to baby them across every body of water?
This Datapack enables all Horse-like mobs to swim while your ride them. No more building pesky bridges or pushing your mount!
Huge ty to mega7 for coming up with the idea on how to actually do this in a not sketchy way. I simply made a stand-alone pack of their Quality of Live Changes and added a bit more functionality and machanic-optimisation.
Affected Mobs:
- Horses
- Zombie Horses (will sink if they wander into water without you riding them)
- Skeleton Horses (will sink if they wander into water without you riding them)
- Mules
- Donkeys
- Camels
