Mounts, more specifically Horses, Horse variants and Boats, all have long delays between player input and actual response.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Get on a tamed horse.

2. Turn the horse, jump a few times, and move around.

Expected results: Horses respond quickly as normal prior to Mounts of Mayhem.

Actual results: Horses respond very delayed, jumping takes a while to actually register after the animation plays, they stop and start, and feel generally bad to use.

This issue also extends to boats, where

Steps to reproduce:

1. Get into a boat, on either ice or water. This issue will come into effect even stronger on realms.

2. Try to controll the boat precicely, or just turn smothly.

Expected result: Boats will behave as they have behaved for at least 5 years, smooth and able to turn at any angle.

Actual result: Boats will seem to “jitter” if that is the correct term. They can only turn in certain ways now, and are much harder to controll. They stop and start just like horses, but even more noticable. This can be seen by the players cape being less affected by the boats momentum as it has stopped brieflly.

I have seen that something similar to this bug was marked as a feature during the preview phase of Mounts of Mayhem. I ask whoever reads this to kindly reconsider. The quote from the original response being that the change of mounts from client side to server side “may introduce a slight delay” compared to client side controll. Anyone who actually follows the steps here can tell the delay is anything but slight. Anyone who tries to use an icr boat track can tell it is extremely difficult, especially on console/controller. If there is no way for the controll to become client side again, i ask for there to be something done for the delay and jittering in other ways. In my opinion, a “Works as Intended” is just an excuse or ignorance, in this situation.

In conclusion i hope something can be done, as I and many others feel the current state of horses and boats makes them much more of a chore to use. For me, boats are especially bad and i cannot use them without feeling like i am fighting with the controlls.

Video from a user on reddit showing an extreme case while playing on a server. It is less when playing singleplayer but still very noticable.
