About this Mod

Horse Upgrades

Have you ever found your first horse and immediately been disappointed by its slow speed? Or maybe you only use elytra because of the rarity of fast horses? You need the Horse Upgrades mod!

Features

Horseshoes:

  • Increase base horse speed when equipped
  • Horses move faster across terrain
  • Tiers include iron, gold, diamond, and netherite
  • Each tier adds a different amount of speed

Making Horseshoes

1. Craft a:

Horseshoe Bar (Can be iron, gold, or diamond):

Three iron ingots in a horizontal row in a crafting table.

Horseshoe Anvil:

Crafting table with iron ingots in ever slot except the middle left.

Hammer (Can be iron, gold, or diamond):

Iron ingots in the shape of a helmet with sticks in the center middle and bottom.

Note: Netherite hammers/horseshoes can be created in the smithing table by combining a netherite ingot and a diamond hammer/horseshoe. Netherite horseshoe bars cannot be crafted.

2. Place the Horseshoe Bar on the anvil and hammer until a Horseshoe is formed:
