Horses Can Swim Data Pack (1.20.2, 1.19.4)

Horses Can Swim Data Pack

Want to ride your horse across a lake or river without jumping off first? This data pack does exactly that. Your horses can now swim while you stay in the saddle, so you can keep moving instead of stop-and-go dismounting. It’s a small change that makes exploration feel way better.

What It Does

• Horses Swim While You Ride – No more dismounting every time you hit water. Your horse handles it just fine with you on top.
• Works Like Normal – The horse still moves at normal speed in water. Nothing weird, nothing broken, just the way it should work.
• Compatible Everywhere – Runs on vanilla Minecraft without any mods needed. Drop it in your datapacks folder and go.
• Multiplayer Ready – Works on servers and in single-player. Everyone can ride their horses across water together.
• Simple Install – No config files, no complicated steps. Just add it to your world’s datapacks folder and you’re done.

Installation

This is a data pack, not a mod, so installation is straightforward:

1. Download the file below
2. Go to your Minecraft world folder and open the datapacks directory
3. Drop the downloaded zip file in there (don’t unzip it)
4. Load your world and the data pack activates automatically
