Wolf Whistle
by gogoneo100
Players who keep tamed wolves can bind one to a craftable whistle and direct it from a radial menu that opens while the whistle is held.
What it does
Each whistle is tied to one specific wolf, and several wolves can each carry their own whistle and be managed separately. The radial menu offers Wander, Sit, Defend, Hunt Monsters, Hunt and Recall. A wolf set to wander roams within 24 blocks of the spot where the order was given, while a seated wolf stays put and keeps out of fights. Defend sends the wolf after anything that harms its owner, and Hunt has it pursue whatever the owner last targeted.
Recall brings the bound wolf to its owner while keeping its current behavior, and it can cross into another dimension by loading the wolf's last known location when needed. Behavior modes survive restarts and function in single-player and multiplayer alike. Wolf Whistle targets Fabric for 26.2, must be installed on both client and server, and depends on Fabric API. Its code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod is not open source.
