how do i make it so horses can go in boats

[dusk kayak]

I'm new to datapacks but I've done command blocks for a while

changing the horses scale to 0.98 worked but i want to know if there's a better way
there's datapacks on this already so i know its possible but they are not open source
in the description of the datapack they say they make the boat hitbox bigger than a horse

hi

I belive the datapack you're referencing works by using the /ride command to mount the horse to an interaciton entity and then that entity to the boat

which might not be necessary since you can just use the command to get a horse in a boat directly

Depends if you want it to pick up the horse automatically or just want the horse in the boat

basically any datapack is open source, just unzip the folder and bam there you go, thats all the code that runs the datapack. There are some encryption tools but they aren't commonly used at all. Take a look at how the datapack does it. Changing the horse's scale is a pretty good option tho.. It causes minimal lag and works excatly as the other entities mount a boat. The other option I belelieve is just to create the mounting function all by yourself using the ride command...

if i find how they make it so horses can go in boats and put that in my datapack and i give credit is that frowned upon or considered stealing?

sorry for the late response

[heady cloud]

It depends on what the datapack's license is... can you take a look for me?

I guess its this one

[heady cloud]

If it's this one then it's definetly concidered stealing

yeah it was that one but there is another datapack so horses can go in boats
it makes every animal be able to go in boats
