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.

How It Works
- Tame a horse.
- Open the horse selection menu with J by default.
- Select the horse you want to bind to your whistle.
- Click Done.
- Press H by default to whistle and call your selected horse.
If there is no safe place nearby, the horse will not be moved and you will see a warning message.
