Set up Fantasy Mounts your way

Start here

New to the config files? Three short reads and you know your way around.

1. 1How setting up the mod worksFour small text files decide how Fantasy Mounts plays, and you never need to restart to change them.
2. 2Where the files areYour own settings sit in your config folder; a world's rules sit with the world, or in config on NeoForge 26.3 and newer.
3. 3Editing a config fileOpen the file in any text editor, change a value, save. Here is how values are written and what happens if one is wrong.

How do I...

The things riders and server owners ask most, with the exact lines to change.

• Arrange your HUD with the HUD editorDrag the ability tiles, mount level, stamina bar and quest tracker where you want them, turn the tiles into a column, or hide any piece.Your game
• Hide or move the mount HUDHide the ability tiles, level and stamina bar you see while riding, all at once or one piece at a time, or move each one.Your game
• Hide, shrink or move the quest trackerShow the tracker as one line, pick its corner and size, or stop the narrator's letters opening by themselves.Your game
• Make mounts quieterEach kind of sound the mod makes has its own volume, from mounts' calls to the whistle and the dialogue voice.Your game
• Change how riding and the camera feelFly where you look or with keys, steady the camera, stop the screen shaking, and choose what the attack key does.Your game
• Change the look of the mod's screensPick a theme for the mount profile, skill tree, Riders Encyclopedia, mount screen and HUD, or plain Minecraft style.Your game
• Let friends ride your mountsOwners can trust friends from the mount screen; the server decides whether trusted players, or anyone, may drive.Server owners
• Control where mounts flyTurn flight off, keep it to some dimensions, cap the height and speed, and stop riders escaping a fight by air.Server owners
• Keep abilities from hurting players or blocksAbilities never hurt players or break builds unless you allow it, and claims and protection mods still have the last word.Server owners
• Turn off a mount, or one of its abilitiesRemove a mount from the world, stop it spawning in the wild, stop it breeding, or switch off one of its abilities.Server owners
• Make mounts level faster or slowerOne number speeds up all experience. Below it you can tune each activity, the level curve, the cap and skill points.Server owners
• Make mounts stronger or weakerScale every mount's stats and abilities at once, one mount at a time, or one skill at a time, without losing future balance fixes.Server owners
• Change taming, breeding and wild mountsHow quickly mounts tame and grow up, how many spawn, whether wild ones despawn, and what they get up to on their own.Server owners
• Set up quests and the narratorTurn quests and the narrator on or off, choose what quests may place in the world, and make players earn their mounts.Server owners
• Change the shiny oddsMake shiny mounts rarer, more common or impossible, and decide how likely a shiny parent's foal is to be shiny.Server owners
• Fill in the Riders Encyclopedia for everyoneShow every entry from the start, change how close a mount must come to be discovered, or turn off the discovery note.Server owners
• Set how the Mount Whistle worksDecide whether mounts answer the whistle, how far it reaches, whether they teleport to catch up, and how fast they follow.Server owners
• Turn off the update checkThe mod asks fantasymounts.com at most about twice a day whether a newer version is out. Here is how to turn that off.Everyone
