Racehorse Mod

This Minecraft mod is an extra mod for the wonderful Realistic Horse Genetics that allows horses to spurt for a short period of time.

Details and controls

The amount that horses can spurt by, and the length that they can spurt for, are determined by the stats of the horse, and are shown above your hotbar. As the name of the mod suggests, this is tiered towards those who desire Minecraft horse-racing to be something more than just "the highest speed stat wins".

By default, the sprint key should be Left Control, but this can be remapped in Minecraft's settings under the Movement section.

Installing

Like with any other mod, drop the jar file into the mods folder. Requires Realistic Horse Genetics to work.

Issues and comments

For some reason, the sprint mode can get stuck on. If that happens, run /horsesprint toggle to force-toggle it off.

I am aware of server lag messing the timer up, but I argue that makes things more interesting. If I can, I'll try and fix it.

When reloading the world/server, the spurt speeds and times are recalculated. I have been asked not to fix this, so it's a feature now.

Depending on if people want, I can release a version of the mod that's compatible with vanilla horses, and even donkeys/mules.
