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.
