[Help] Prevent player from falling off mount

[big_red_frog]

Hi all,

 

For various reasons I want to prevent a player from being knocked off a pig by random mobs.

 

Is there a simple way to do this?

 

I am always running in creative mode for my purposes, but random interactions spoil my intent...

 

( At least I think that is the problem, I have not as yet caught the condition that causes the player to be off the pig )

There are only a few cases I know of that causes a player to be dismounted:

• The player presses shift
  
• The player is in a minecart and goes over a powered activator rail
  
• The player is mounting and untamed horse and the horse throws the player off
  
• The entity the player is riding is killed
  
• Another mod causes it for some reason
  

Which of these reasons do you want to prevent?

 

Edit: as diesieben07 pointed out below, you can also get dismounted in water

Thanks for any and all help.

 

It is great to know that there are a limited number of scenarios to knock a player off, this gives me a clue.

 

When this has occured, there is no player at keyboard so can't be that.

Its a derived pig class with removed AI, so it is not the minecart scenario.

Its not an untamed horse.

The pig is a super pig and invulnerable.

No other mods.

 

I have been digging around, is there another scenario that could cause this, due to the ridden pig moving through standing water?

 

By standing water, I mean a pool of water left on a level surface as the whole area that previously supported the water has been removed and it falls down and forms an active pool.

Ok, this is a thing in vanilla, you get dismounted under water.

Dang, I forgot you get dismounted in water, I'll edit above
