Find me
If you have ever spent twenty minutes searching a dense forest for your favorite tamed wolf, or lost a prized flying mount somewhere in the endless sky of your Minecraft world, you know the pain. The Find me add-on is the solution you have been waiting for. This remarkable mod transforms the way you interact with creatures and vehicles, turning chaotic management into a streamlined, radial-wheel-driven experience. Instead of leaving your companions forgotten in the wilderness, Find me ensures they are always just a keypress away, ready to join you on your next adventure.
What is Find me?
At its core, Find me is a comprehensive creature and vehicle management system. It allows you to register supported mounts and companions from vanilla Minecraft or other mods, then quickly summon, switch, or recall them using intuitive radial wheels. Whether you are dealing with a land-based horse, a soaring dragon, or an aquatic dolphin, Find me handles them all with unique approach animations. When you switch mounts, your previous companion gracefully leaves while the new one actively approaches you. Even better, if you find yourself falling from a great height, you can call a mount for a dramatic aerial rescue.
Key Features That Transform Gameplay
The feature set of Find me is robust and designed for both casual players and modpack creators. The mod is primarily built for the Forge loader, and while there is currently no official Fabric version, a port is planned for the future. You can use Find me with recent Minecraft versions supported by Forge, making it a versatile addition to your modded setup.
Command System and Team Management
One of the standout features is the deep command system. You can issue specific orders to individual creatures or entire teams. Commands include Follow Me, Wait Here, Guard Here, Protect Me, and Attack Target. For flying creatures, you can order them to Land at a suitable spot. There is even a Ride Home command that summons a mount assigned to a Nest and has it carry you back to safety. If you use the Waystones mod, you can teleport together with your current mount to any destination.
Manager, Nests, and Storage
The Find me Manager is your central hub for organizing everything. Access it by pressing G. Here, you can create teams, search for creatures, move storage members, assign radial wheel slots, and inspect models, health, locations, and recovery records. Nests serve as dedicated resting areas for your companions. Each Nest has its own capacity and wandering range. Companions assigned to a Nest can rest, wander, or work together to defend the surrounding area. Critically injured creatures automatically recuperate in a Nest and reappear once fully healed.
How to Install and Get Started
Getting started with Find me is straightforward. To download Find me, head to your preferred mod repository and grab the latest version compatible with your Minecraft setup. Remember that Find me for Minecraft requires the ApricityUI library (version 1.2.0 or later) on the client. For multiplayer servers, the mod must be installed on both the server and every client. Before updating, always exit the world normally and keep a backup of your save.
If you are looking for the simplest way to manage your mods, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Find me, letting you skip the manual downloading and version-matching hassle entirely. Its integrated add-on catalog automatically checks compatibility, so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time playing.
Step-by-Step Installation
To how to install this mod manually, follow these steps:
- Ensure you have the correct Forge version installed for your Minecraft client.
- Download the ApricityUI library and place it in your
modsfolder. - Download the Find me jar file and place it in the same
modsfolder. - Launch the game and check the mod list to confirm both are loaded.
Once inside the game, you will need to craft a Name Paper using 3 pieces of paper. Right-click an eligible creature with it to register the creature with Find me. For vehicles, craft a Vehicle Binder using 1 Name Paper and 1 Iron Ingot, then right-click the vehicle. Press R to summon or switch your active mount, or hold it to open the mount wheel. Press V for companions. The G key opens the Manager.
Player Settings and Server Configuration
Customization is a major strength of Find me. Players can configure summon animations, creature sounds, wheel styles, interface animations, opacity, fonts, text size, the companion status HUD, and riding camera behavior. You can also adjust deployment limits, friendly-fire protection, and companion block protection. Server administrators have access to settings for summon cooldowns, rescue heights, default Nest capacity, and sleep revival probability.
Mod Compatibility and Troubleshooting
Find me uses general-purpose entity logic to support many vanilla and modded creatures. It has dedicated compatibility handling for popular mods like Ice and Fire and Saint's Dragons. Modpack creators can use the built-in visual editor (/findme editor) to configure creature categories, movement types, and binding requirements. If a creature cannot normally be tamed, administrators can set its binding requirement to "Ignore" to allow registration.
One common question is why a tamed creature does not appear in the radial wheel. The answer is that Find me does not automatically register tamed creatures; you must use the Name Paper. Another frequent issue is right-clicking always mounting a creature instead of feeding it. The mod normally prioritizes the creature's original right-click interaction, but you can enable "Prioritize Native Mount Interaction" in player settings if issues persist.
Conclusion
Find me is an essential add-on for any Minecraft player who loves taming creatures, collecting mounts, or building a personal menagerie. It solves the age-old problem of lost companions and adds a layer of depth to creature interaction that vanilla Minecraft simply lacks. With its powerful command system, intuitive radial wheels, and robust management tools, Find me ensures that every mount and companion becomes a genuine member of your journey, never again forgotten somewhere in the world.
