Whistlebound Horse
Whistlebound Horse is a Minecraft Fabric mod that lets you whistle to call your selected tamed horse back to you.
After taming a horse, you can choose which one is bound to your whistle using a simple in-game menu. Once selected, press the whistle key and your horse will appear near you in a safe place whenever possible.

| Safe Horse Placement | The mod tries to place the horse near you without spawning it in walls, lava, fire, or unsafe spots. |

| Client and Server | Designed to work with the mod installed on both client and server. |
How It Works
