Better Horses
by thehippomaster21
Everyone loves horses! But sometimes, do you ever feel like some things could be improved? Do you feel like the horses' animations and behaviors seem a bit, might I say, too blocky? Don't you want smoother more horse-like animations? Then this is the mod for you!
Professor HippoMaster presents to you the Better Horses Mod! This mod replaces vanilla Minecraft's horses with similar new and improved horses! Although they look the exact same, these modded horses have many added and replaced animations as well as various minor fixes and improvements. You name it! From new animations to new animations to... yeah, that's about it.
Note, as of now, only adult horses and donkeys are animated.
Animations
Many original horse animations that looked choppy (tail swiping) have been replaced with slicker, more stylish animations while other new animations have been introduced to make the horse seem more natural! The animations are listed below:
Walking animation Galloping animation (when you're riding on it) Take shaking animation Grass eating animation Head shaking animation Rearing animation Jumping animationScreenshots
Need more visual proof? You can't really see animations from pictures, but here are some freeze frame poses.
Uninstalling and Config
Want to remove the mod? Need to update Minecraft? Read this section very carefully.
Before uninstalling, follow these instructions:
A .cfg file can be found in .minecraft/config and can be opened with a text reader (notepad, etc). Inside the config, you'll find one line that says this:
B:UseBetterHorses=true
If this is true, then the game will use the modded horses. If this is false, the game will use vanilla horses. Before uninstalling, change this to false like this:
B:UseBetterHorses=false
Then, run Minecraft.exe and open each world once. Now, you can uninstall the mod or update Minecraft. Remember to do this, because if you don't, you will lose all your horses.

Can you make it so that the creeper minion is considered passive? I have familiars mod installed and I'm too scared to spawn the creeper minion because it is considered hostile and I don't want it to get hurt.
