# Whistle & Wander 1.2.1 — The Bonding & Leads Update

**Minecraft:** 1.20.1 & 1.21.1 | **Loaders:** Forge & NeoForge |

Welcome to **Whistle & Wander 1.2.1**! This update brings long-awaited bonding mechanics for all your biome buddies, including full leash and name tag support, streamlined shoulder companion mechanics, and official mod metadata updates.

### 🏷️ Name Tag Support (Personalize Your Companions)
* **Custom Names for All 7 Spirits:** You can now name any tamed companion (**Mossy Hopper, Sandy Dustbunny, Snow Puff, Pebble Pup, Bog Buddy, Petallet, and Splashlet**) using an anvil-renamed **Name Tag**!
* **Smart Interaction:** Right-clicking with a Name Tag directly renames the pet without unintentionally toggling their sit/stand state.
* **Always Visible & Persistent:** Custom names stay rendered above companions, persist across worlds and saves, and remain preserved when companions ride your shoulders or Splashlets are caught in buckets.

### 🪢 Lead & Leash Support
* **Tether All Companions:** All 7 creatures can now be attached to **Leads** and hitched to fences!
* **Auto Wake-Up:** Attaching a lead to a sitting or sleeping companion gently wakes them up and commands them to follow.
