Description

HorseFollow  

HorseFollow Wiki

 

In ancient lands, mounts were not controlled by force or commands — they followed those they trusted. HorseFollow brings this philosophy to the game by introducing a bond-based taming system, focused on items, interaction, and persistence.

 

Latest Updates / Changelog 

Changelog 1.3.5

  • Bug fixes and general improvements
  • Reduced Goat Horn sound volume
  • Fine-tuned mount animations
  • Added a new horse variant: Black Horse
  • Added a new item: Soul Amulet
  • New mechanic: Soul Binding for Skeleton Horses

Objective

Introduce a simple, immersive, and reliable taming mechanic for mounts, replacing command-heavy systems with item-based interactions and long-term bonds.

 


Core Mechanics

HorseFollow creates a persistent bond between player and mount. Once bonded, the mount becomes a companion — not just a vehicle.

  • Supports horses and rams
  • Two distinct taming mechanics:
    • Feed Bonding — for living mounts
    • Soul Binding — for fallen, spectral mounts
  • Bound mounts actively follow their owner
  • Follow distance and teleport behavior are fully configurable
  • Automatic teleport can be completely disabled
  • Mounts can be ordered to stay

Item-Based Interaction

Interaction is centered on items, not commands.

  • Feed — used to bond with living mounts
  • Goat Horn — used to call your bound mount
  • Soul Amulet — used to bind the soul of fallen mounts

Commands exist only for configuration, status, and administrative control.

 


Calling Your Mount

The Goat Horn replaces the old call command.

  • Dropped by goats
  • When used, calls your bound mount to your location
  • Sound volume is balanced to avoid disruption
  • Can be recycled into Chitin Sturdy

Soul Binding Mechanic

Some mounts do not submit to simple taming. When a Skeleton Horse falls, its soul may linger.

  • Defeat a Skeleton Horse
  • Capture its soul using the Soul Amulet
  • The amulet stores the bond
  • Warning: amulets can be stolen

 


How to Use

  • Obtain the correct Feed for the mount
  • Use the feed on the mount to create a bond
  • The mount will automatically follow you
  • Use the Goat Horn to call it when needed
  • Use commands only for distance, status, or stay behavior

 


Commands

/horsefollow status — Displays current bond status.

/horsefollow distance <value> — Sets teleport distance (0 disables teleport).

/horsefollow stay — Makes the mount stay in place.

/horsefollow reload — Reloads configuration and language files.

Visão Geral

HorseFollow introduz um sistema de vínculo real entre jogador e montaria. Aqui, montarias não são controladas por comandos, mas seguem aqueles em quem confiam.

 

▶ Atualizações / Changelog

Changelog 1.3.5

  • Correções de bugs e melhorias gerais
  • Redução do volume do som do chifre de cabra
  • Ajustes finos na animação de montaria
  • Nova variante de cavalo: Cavalo Negro
  • Novo item: Amuleto da Alma
  • Nova mecânica: apreensão da alma de Cavalos Esqueleto

Mecânicas Principais

  • Vínculo persistente entre jogador e montaria
  • Duas formas de domesticação:
    • Ração — para montarias vivas
    • Apreensão da Alma — para montarias mortas
  • Montarias seguem automaticamente o jogador
  • Distância e teleporte configuráveis
  • Teleporte automático pode ser desativado
  • Montaria pode ser instruída a permanecer parada

 


Interação por Itens

  • Ração cria o vínculo
  • Chifre de Cabra chama a montaria vinculada
  • Amuleto da Alma armazena a alma de montarias(esqueletos) mortas

O uso de comandos foi reduzido ao mínimo necessário.

 


Mecânica de Apreensão da Alma

Ao derrotar um Cavalo Esqueleto ou de Armadura, sua alma pode ser aprisionada.

  • Derrote a montaria
  • Prenda sua alma no Amuleto
  • O vínculo passa a existir no item
  • Cuidado: o amuleto pode ser roubado

 


Comandos

/horsefollow status — Mostra o estado do vínculo.

/horsefollow distancia <valor> — Define a distância do teleporte.

/horsefollow ficar — Faz a montaria permanecer parada.

/horsefollow resetar — Recarrega configurações e idioma.
