About this project
What does SmoothMount add?
SmoothMount (NeoForge-forge Port)
**Unofficial NeoForge 1.21.1 port of SmoothMount by Ender_Fake.**
Original mod: **https://github.com/Ender-Fake/SmoothMount**
All the original animation work is Ender_Fake's. Please report problems with this port here, not to the original author.
In vanilla Minecraft you teleport onto a mount's back. SmoothMount plays the climb instead: your character pulls themselves into the saddle, lowers themselves back down when getting off, and the camera follows the movement instead of snapping to the new position.
