Controls

  • Horses can be hitched to a wagon by leashing them and crouch interacting with the wagon.
  • Wagons can be recoloured by crouch clicking them with wool.
  • The Horse Whip is used to control wagons. Right click with it while driving a wagon to change speeds, crouch interacting with the wagon while not seated to switch it between reverse and forwards.
  • Mobs can be mounted on the wagon in the same method as hitching a horse, or by crouch right interacting with the mob while it is next to a stationary wagon.
  • Mobs can be dismounted from wagons by crouch interacting with them, or by crouch interacting with the wagon using a leash.
  • Wagons can be repaired by using iron ingots on them (this is configurable).
  • A wagon's inventory can be opened by crouch interacting with it while not holding one of the other items used to interact with it.
  • Wagons can be picked up by crouch interacting on them with any axe.
