    About

    Better Horses is a resource pack that remodels horses, donkeys, and mules with new colors, coat patterns, and more detailed models. Horse coats include new base-color variations such as blue and brown roans, dun, brindle, buckskin, palomino, and dappled gray, with patterns including socks, sabino, overo, splashed, tobiano, snowflake, blanket, near-leopard appaloosa, mosaic, and sooty. The models add more realistic horse legs and snouts and longer manes; donkeys have shorter snouts and long ears, while mules have medium-length snouts and ears, with mane lengths also varying. Grazing and rearing animations are more fluid, and the pack also adds new saddles and armor.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.

    Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.

    How we checked · All 7 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      7 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 5 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.

    Privacy

    Sends nothing

    A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
