Horse Summoner
by leomehraban
Horse Summoner lets a player call a tamed horse, donkey or mule from anywhere in the world through a linked item.
What it does
Using the item within a small radius summons the linked animal to the player's side, so horses can be brought across water that they cannot swim. Multiple horses can each be linked to their own summoner, and naming the summoner with an anvil helps keep track of which horse it calls. The enchantment glow on the item shows it is linked.
The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, with Horse Summoner 1.0.1 for 1.20.5 as the latest file. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source. Both the client and the server need the mod. If a summoned horse fails to appear, the author suggests raising the render distance for a few seconds, and clearing islands along a route can also help.
Key features
Linked summoner item
A Horse Summoner item is linked to one tamed horse, donkey or mule and calls that animal when used.
Summon across the world
The linked animal appears within a small radius of the player wherever the summoner is used, including across water.
Multiple links
Different horses can each be linked to a separate summoner, so several animals can be called independently.
Craft recipe
Once a horse, donkey or mule is tamed, it can be bound to a summoner so that the animal is called back to the player's side.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who travel over water or across scattered islands in survival worlds, and server owners whose players use horses for long journeys. Because the mod runs on both sides, the server and every player need it.
How it compares
Horse Whistle is open source under the Apache License 2.0, runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, and needs client and server. Horse Whistle Reloaded uses the same loader and environment for 1.20.1 only and is not open source. Horse Summoner targets 1.20.5 only, so it does not cover the older range those mods support.
