Features

All loaders

  • Mouse moves the camera separately from the mount in third person; WASD steers the mount toward where you're looking. Works without Better Third Person.
  • With Shoulder Surfing Reloaded, stops SSR from dragging the camera toward mount steering while decoupled.
  • Controllable: right stick moves the decoupled mount camera like the mouse.

Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.1

  • Smooth body turns during Better Lockon mount lock-on (BLO's default 8-way snap replaced with trailing)
  • No camera flicker when you release lock-on on a mount
  • No body snap back to mount forward on lock-off while sprinting
  • Epic Fight TPS camera backs off while mount steering is active; returns on dismount or when you stop steering

Config

config/bettermountsteering-client.toml:

  • mountTurnSpeed - how fast the body catches the camera while steering (default 0.25)

Forge and NeoForge also have:

  • smoothLockOnMountTurn - smooth BLO mount lock-on (default true; false = vanilla BLO snap)
