Horse Whistle Reloaded
by IvqryDev
Horse Whistle Reloaded lets a player summon a tamed horse from a distance with an item, a right-click and a second right-click to send it back.
What it does
The mod adds a horse whistle item. A tamed horse registers to the whistle when it is used on that horse. Right-clicking the whistle again summons the horse to the player. Holding crouch and right-clicking lets a player unregister the item from its horse. A horse only comes to the player when the area it stands in is currently loaded, a restriction that comes from the game itself.
The mod is a fork of the original Horse Whistle, created by jbossjaslow to fix bugs in the 1.20.1 versions, and the author says the mod is unlikely to be updated unless people need it. The horse whistle assets and concepts credit jbossjaslow. Durability of the whistle, the teleport distance and the horse teleport behavior are exposed as options in the config file, and ModMenu can be used to edit them.
Horse Whistle Reloaded requires Fabric API. It runs on the client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.0.0-S.V-1.20.1 as the latest file, released under the Apache License 2.0. The code is not open source.

How it compares
Whistlebound Horse is the closest alternative: it is Fabric-only, client and server, released under the MIT License, and published for 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it targets newer versions than this mod. Eugene's Whistle & Spur is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later for 1.20 – 1.20.4, and it is server required with the client optional, unlike this mod, which needs both sides.
