Horse movement is so clunky in newest update

[Bedrock]

Just what the title says. I rely on horses to get through all of my tunnels, but when I played today after the update, my horses move all janky and strange. When I turn, my horse doesn't turn smoothly with me, he turns and sidesteps?? There's a delay in his response to my joystick input as well, and he keeps moving after I stop pushing the joystick. The jump is some weird two-step thing now that takes longer to do.

What even is this? We were told "horses can swim and you finally get the zombie horse" but now they've made it so I'll not be using horses anymore. Nice. I hate this.

So found out today that this was supposedly done on purpose, even though Java didn't get the "improvement". Go comment to add your voice that this isn't a wanted change!

    They literally didn't change this...?

    They literally did. I use horses constantly so I absolutely recognize a massive difference in how they move. Thanks for your input though I guess?

    I thought it was just me. It has to be a bug. Because in Java, The horse and Camel still move normally. Heck, I was using my horse in bedrock before the update dropped. And after? It’s clunky and slow to respond.

    Hopefully they fix this, kind of hard to joust when the moving is unresponsive. Hopefully they release a bug fix patch like usual in the coming days. 👍

    I'm the one from the first reply. Didn't know about this cuz I play on Java and also use the horse pretty frequently and it seemed to be exactly the same. I didn't see anything in the changelogs of any beta or snapshot so yeah, this is likely a bug... Hope they fix it soon then.

    I edited to add that it's bedrock. Didn't realize this forum was for both versions

    Yes I noticed this too. This is the only thing online I can find mentioning it. Lowkey makes riding horses unbearable

    not only are horses being affected, but also powered rail travel is bugged as well for bedrock. i hope they fix these soon. The bedrock community needs to collectively bring more attention to this.

    I spent a lot of time working on horse infrastructure and breeding up fast horses. This nee update makes my primary means of transport unusable :( It should be reverted. I’d rather have to dismount in water than ruin their movement.

    I’m getting the same on my Bedrock realm and have experienced this to be worse with boats, making boats and horses unusable.

    I am having the same problem with horses and boats. There was a new update today and was hoping this would fix it but it didn’t. Horses and boats are still very lagging. It’s hard to get around without the constant lag

    I'm having this exact same issue with horses and boats on my realm. I never had this issue prior to the update and now on both my Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series S the movement is super laggy when using boats and horses.

    I tried closing and reopening my realm, making sure the server connection was as close to me as possible and that my connection was stable. The issue definitely seems to be with the update and I'm at a loss of what to do. The game is essentially unplayable right now.

    This is seriously such a useless thing they did that they need to fix, all I wanted to do was ride a horse a small distance and it was so difficult to stay on the paths I made because of they delayed movement. It was one thing when they made horses take fall damage but now horses just make your movement worse

    Agreed. Please revert the Bedrock horse movement (or at least allow the option to) to the pre-update movement. The new horse movement feels terrible and laggy. It makes horses no fun to ride.

    Yes horses, are game changing for old worlds built around their movement.  Improve them.  (First post ever to complain about something.)

    The jumping is also messed up now, there is a weird delay.

    Idk if its just me since no one else has mentioned it but I noticed the lagginess also applies to the happy ghast's movement. It's been almost a month so it's crazy something this significant hasn't been fixed yet

    Yeah, they really botched the horse movement. My boats have been weird too.

    I'm canceling my realms subscription today. The game has been unplayable to me for months now.

    I will never buy realms again. I will simply host a server on my LAN like I used to back in the old days. At least then I could mod to fix the problem myself 🙄

    Thanks for this post and everyone who has updated. I thought maybe I was going crazy and suddenly lost my ability to row boats, ride horses and use powered mine carts. I should've guessed another bug on Bedrock which Mojang is deliberately ignoring because they want everyone use their purely online stuff.
