📑 Overview

Piggybacks is a fun and small mod that changes Minecraft's default sitting mechanic into a more natural piggyback-style ride. Instead of sitting on another player’s head, you now ride on their back, perfect for co-op adventures, silly roleplays, or chaotic situations!.

📦 Features

  • Right-click a crouching player with an empty hand to hop on their back.
  • Replaces the sitting position with a piggyback posture.
  • Fully compatible with multiplayer.
  • Supports player stacking (yes, you can build a human totem!).
  • The rider can't turn around to look behind, similar to when riding a boat.
  • Optional setting to slow down the carrier while they're carrying someone.
