Horse Follow [Discontinued]

ByDazakeen
Mods

A lightweight Hytale plugin that creates a persistent bond between player and mount, keeping the horse always close through a simple follow and distance-based recall system.

Description

HorseFollow

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

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.
