Whistle Mount
by vynsierra
Whistle Mount lets a player bond with a horse and summon it to their position with a single keypress, without carrying any whistle item.
What it does
Crouching and right-clicking a tame horse bonds it to the player. Each player can hold only one bonded horse at a time, so bonding a new horse releases the previous one. Once bonded, the horse can be called to the player's side with a configurable key, which is Q by default, and the key is set in the in-game controls settings.
Calling the horse needs no whistle, saddle command or inventory search, which keeps the mount close without cluttering the inventory. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge across the 1.20.1 – 1.21.5 range, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.

How it compares
Pet Whistles is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, client and server, under All rights reserved, so it covers an older range than Whistle Mount. Horse Whistle Reborn is a Fabric and NeoForge mod for 1.21.10 – 26.1.2 under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, so it uses a different loader set and version range. Whistle Me! is a Forge mod published only for 1.20.1, also client and server and under All rights reserved.
