🐴 Private Horses — keep your mount yours!
This mod ensures that only the owner can interact with their horse, donkey, or mule — no more random riders jumping on your beloved steed!
Exceptions apply only to server operators and players with the private-horses.interact permission.
⚙️ New Gamerule: private-horses.disable_damage
Want extra protection for your tamed animals?
Enable the new gamerule private-horses.disable_damage to prevent any damage to your horse, donkey, or mule — except for fall damage and damage caused by the owner.
By default, this rule is disabled.
🔐 Public or private? You decide.
You can freely switch your mount's accessibility:
- Make it public – Sneak and right-click with sugar
- Make it private again – Sneak and right-click with wheat
This lets you easily share or reclaim access to your horse, donkey, or mule.
🔄 Transfer ownership
Inspired by the Transferable Pets mod, this mod also lets you give your animal to another player.
To do so:
- Put the animal on a lead (leash).
- Sneak and right-click the player you want to transfer it to.
Done! They're now the proud new owner.

Note: If a player tries to equip horse armor on someone else's horse, it will appear equipped due to a client-side visual bug. However, the armor will remain in the player's inventory.
