MobSteer | Ride Mobs & WASD Control

MobSteer

Take full control over any mob in Minecraft!

Required: Paper / Purpur or other Paper-based forks

Not supported: Folia / Spigot

Known issue: In rare cases, you may experience rubberbanding while riding entities after a server startup. If this happens, try restarting the server.

Rubberbanding is difficult to prevent entirely because of the way Minecraft's server and client movement engines handle passenger of non-vehicle entity movement and it may not be possible to fully fix it.

Description
