About this project
What does Piggyback Legacy add?
Piggyback Legacy
An unofficial backport of Piggyback by FaeWulf for Minecraft 1.12.2 Forge, independently reconstructed and adapted for 1.12.2.
Features:
• Allows players to ride on the backs of other players.
• /piggybackslow command to adjust the movement slowdown while carrying players — the more players you carry, the slower you become.
• /piggybacktune can be used to adjust the riding position, although it is recommended to leave it at its default values unless you need to fine-tune the position.
• Hunger consumption while carrying someone can be enabled through the configuration.
• An action bar notification appears when looking at a sneaking player to hop on.
• Riding is also restored after reconnecting.
• Custom compatibility with Mo' Bends (not perfect, but works).
