Mounted Combat Issue

I got a horse not to long ago, and I'm a little disapointed you cant fight mobs or do spells while on the back of a horse. This "glitch" has caused many cases where i almost die, with both that and "horse lag" where it shows that your still moving, but when you get off, it rubber bands you back.
Thank you for reading this.

Play 1.8 for the horse glitch, it'll work. Or if you don't want, another ways to see if you're not where you think you are :
- You won't hear the horse steps noise
- You won't see your particles (VIP only)

 

Not casting spells on a horse is intended (at least, for now). For the horse lag, just play on 1.8.9. Honestly, you should be using 1.8.9 anyway since 1.9 and 1.10 are broken af.

 

you just said it again!

 

If you are on a horse you are basically invincible unless you stand still.

 

This is not a freaking knight game, you know? :-P

 

You cannot fight on your horse. Because if that was possible, people with ranks just stack on top of each other and spam spells while someone rides around :3

 

You've got a point.

 

Though I kinda wish we had a 20 stacked assassin horse all spamming smoke bomb ;D

 

You aren't supposed to be able to attack from a horse, that's an intentional handicap.

 

I wish you could just do a standard melee attack from a horse, no spells.

 

yeah, that would be nice

 

You would most probably hit the horse.
