More Information
Pathfinding
Horses naturally seek to avoid (while wandering) harmful blocks such as lava, magma, cactus and sweet berry bushes etc.
Hostile Mobs
Horses are not a target of most hostile mobs, unless indirectly while ridden by a player (ie shot by a skeleton). They can be direct targets of Zoglins and Withers, and any hostile entities from other mods that use a similar hostility logic.
Fall Damage
Horses take fall damage from any drop greater than 9 blocks. This limit increases to 11 with GOLD TIER HORSE ARMOR

TBC Fall damage was thoroughly tested but the exact formula is non-linear and has not been verified from code. |
|||||||||||
Horses cannot die to fall damage unless their health is below the maximum damage cap of 7.0 , or 4.0 with gold+ horse armor, or they sustain damage from another source shortly after taking a dangerous fall.
Dragons Breath
Horses may not avoid Dragon's Breath if left unsupervised or idle wandering in the End dimension.
Dragon's Breath is extremely hazardous and can result in a buck and rearing loop that makes it very hard to escape!

The following are recommended before going to the End with a horse (if Dragon is not defeated):
- Horse Armor of any tier except leather reduces damage per second by half.
- Horse Armor of Amethyst tier (flight) reduces dangers of ground-based combat.
- Health Boosters increase maximum health to extend time they can sustain damage.
- Healing supplies such as Horse Heal Potion to quickly treat low health.
Healing
- Natural Regeneration
- Splash Potion of Healing
- Horse Heal Potion
- Health Booster
- Command
/swemlite set health #(1-5)
Booster Shot
Health Boosters fully heal missing hearts and temporarily increase maximum health by a 20 HP 10 .
Immunity
Horse Armor significantly reduces or negates damage from various sources, effects stack per tier.
Immortality "God Mode"
Immortality is a command-only function and prevents further skill gain while active.
Horses can receive immunity to ALL damage using /swemlite horse immortal to toggle "immortality" on or off.
Additional
- Horses use a "sad" animation when their health is low to visually communicate the need for care.
- Horses may "flee" from or after taking damage, but this is usually very brief and ineffective.
- Horses can kick or buck when taking damage, this can harm nearby entities and players.
Known Issues
You can report any mod issues to our bugs forum on Discord - please check for duplicate reports first!
