Horse, Donkey, Mule, and Boat movement is extremely sluggish, delayed, and visually unstable

Please reopen this.

Horses are slower, jump delayed by over a seccond, turn like the titanic, and it “works as intended”. Just because they have to be handled server side doesnt mean it has to be this badly delayed. If it is fully intended, make java delayed too.

Please reopen this bug report because if you actually play the game, you can clearly see that the delay is far from “slight”. Horses and other mounts are now completely unusable.

Horses float in water while ridden on Java too, how come they were able to implement this feature without compromising input latency and usability?

This needs to be reopened, Horses are useless after this update. I think we can all agree, horses were better before the update, which is just sad because this update was supposed to make them better. Mojang would be irresponsible to ignore this issue, or just downright lazy. I know Mojang loves making bedrock just like java, so maybe do it for “parity” sakes like all the other unneeded changes that happen all the time. If it's somehow impossible to fix horses and have them be able to swim, then I say revert the change, because if you can't add something without breaking everything, don’t add it at all.

Please re-open this issue. The horses on my Bedrock Realm are entirely unusable, and I am clearly not the only one experiencing this. It is a bug. The delay is not “slight”, it is so incredibly disruptive that the horses have been rendered non functional. I could not jump my horse, my primary form of transport around my island that worked perfectly fine before, over a one block fence. WHICH. IS. A. BUG!!!!

I understand that making big changes causes unexpected side effects, but the sheer audacity required to look at actual given evidence of an entire mob being unusable, (including the one you just added, btw, in case anyone forgot) and say it’s WORKING AS INTENDED!? Yikes.

But horses can float now yay 😒

This needs to be re-opened. Horses are completely USELESS now. I have a whole Minecraft world set up with roads that have tight turns and such that horses could previously run on.

This is not a “slight delay”.

It seems like boats are also affected by the switch to server authoritative movement as well? Because turning left/right is very slow with visual signs of stutter and the feel being completely off from before 1.21.130.

Here’s an example in ibxtoycat’s video at 5:24.

Clearly as shown through Jenny’s video, the “slight delay” is not as slight as claimed. This issue needs to be completely fixed, not pushed aside or covered up with a band-aid like the pointless server authoritative movement changes from 1.21.60 which we are still suffering from.

All this does is make players want to use the new mounts less and makes horses more useless than they already are by making them basically usable in the early game. I’m not sure what supercomputer the developers are playing on, but when testing on an Xbox One X, a platform officially supported by Bedrock, the delay is makes controlling mounts feel very imprecise and sluggish.

Horses on java above

Horses on bedrock below

see the difference? It's horrible on bedrock, imagine if it was the other way around, imagine if horses were broken on java like they are on bedrock now, they would not stand for it, it would get fixed immediately.

Also related to this bug, boats are completely broken, in water, they are extremely jittery, and slow, as well as hard to turn. On ice they just don't work anymore like they used to, like not at all, almost impossible to turn, and extremely laggy and slow. elytra is significantly faster than ice boats now.

Adding to the request to reopen this and revert these “improvements”. Horses were my main form of travel through my base. Now they haven't left their stalls since the update. They are unusable. I almost can't believe that is what Mojang intended.

The keep taking away things from us “for parity" but then they break our horses while leaving Java's untouched.

If it's intended, break Java's horses too and see how much pushback you get.

This issue is caused by (MCPE-179969); the change to server-authoritative movement for mounted equines and boats only exposed the underlying bug. The “sluggishness” and “delay” experienced with horses and boats actually applies to all client-side entity movement except for the client player, due to the length and style of client-side movement animation easing. What is is new in 1.21.130 is that the client player now experiences the easing through the mount. Input response is not delayed server-side, but it feels delayed because when the server sends position updates back to the client, the client applies its easing animation to them.

The underlying issue (MCPE-179969) is what needs to be fixed.

My best horse just died falling off a cliff because of this sluggishness, so if this is really intentional, I highly recommend you rethink! I will not be riding horses again unless it’s changed back, despite having spent countless hours breeding them and countless more hours constructing clear roads between my bases to use them on.

Please reopen this.

If you have played reasonable time you know the delay is not "slight" and the overall experience is worse to the point players just stop using mounts and boats. Just look at this bug report. Each comment is a player expressing their frustration on this change, but at least we have floating mounts so its all worth it (sarcasm).

I know this bug is a result of doing the calculations server-side so there is a delay in sending the updates via network plus playing the animations client-side. However this simple fix on the surface ended up breaking existing features like boats on ice to the point they surely do not “work as intended”. If they worked as intended why Java mounts do not have a delay? Why Java players can ride boats on ice without getting low perceived frame rate?

Java would never get this “improvement“ because there would be so much more backlash as most notable players on the internet play that edition. But I guess on Bedrock it's fine because the playerbase is expected to accept the quirkiness.

This update has ruined the usefulness of all affected items, it doesn’t add to realism, it has no practical benefit to the game and will only frustrate players. If this was intentional please reverse it.

This change has made horses unusable on realms. Please reverse this change. Makes the whole update pointless.

Very disappointing to see this issue still exists in v1.21.132. I haven’t been able to try any of the new Mounts of Mayhem features because mounts are completely broken…

Unfortunately if this issue persists for much longer I’m gonna have to cancel my Realms subscription and find an alternative way to play with my friend because this is seriously killing the game for us.
