Maethius Posted January 23, 2025 Report Posted January 23, 2025 Situation in a nutshell; got my elk and was headed to the first distant lore location after the Resonance Archives. We've had a great time seeing if we can crash the game by speeding through the undergrowth and leaping over ravines. Well... we did! Game kept crashing repeatedly. Sent in a ticket. Eventually I had to do a clean install and then download and install fresh, up to date mods. The game works again! YAY! One problem... Each time I tried to get the game to work it would load up and immediately crash... except each crash seemed to take around 1 in game hour. I couldn't move or anything, but each attempt clearly pushed the clock later and later. By the time I got it all working again I looked around... NO ELK. I played my flute and... NO ELK. I checked my map... ... Uh-oh. So, somehow, between crashes, my elk wandered from my last save/crash point to a location I camped in some 10,000 blocks back toward home! I don't think his hearing is that good. Does anyone know if there is a code to summon your elk from, say, 10 kilometers away?
Maethius Posted January 23, 2025 Author Report Posted January 23, 2025 Gotta reply to my own message here with my solution, which may be tied to a bug: I decided to teleport to my elk first and then see if I could teleport it back to my camp. In so doing I discovered that, for some reason, the point on the map that showed my elk's location was incorrect... by about 5 kilometers! I don't know why it showed my elk near the center of my mapped territory, but I searched everywhere for it including going spectator and looking underground in case of some kind of placement glitch. NO ELK! Then I decided to go back to the logical place; near a trader on the shores of the ocean I had to swim across. (Side note: something MUST be done about having to swim the Atlantic on an animal that swims at half the player's speed! It took me 2 in game hours to make that crossing without the elk, and I saw no other way around the massive body of water!) It was another 5,000 blocks, so I teleported there, too. Surprise!!! ... SOME of my elk was there... his beautiful antlers were lying on the sand near the trader's wagon. I blew my flute and he immediately called out, "Where the hell were you?! Damn, man! There were wolves and stuff! ... (can't take that seraph anywhere...)" He came trotting out of from behind the wagon, looking like a doe. All of my stuff was intact, at least. For the final part of my experiment, I hopped into the saddle, crossed my fingers, and teleported to my camp across the ocean. (I was NOT going to risk swimming literally more than 1,000 blocks on my elk at half speed with a machine that had recovered from a crash that took almost a week to sort out!) *POOF!!!* I can tell the community, for those who have not attempted it, that you CAN teleport while riding your elk, and everything will be okay! Just make darned sure you know the height of your destination and add a block! 1
SpaceGazebo Posted April 9, 2025 Report Posted April 9, 2025 Hey there! What was the command you used to TP to your elk?

You just TP yourself while on the Elk and it will come with you. Command is /tp then the coordinates. Or, if you want to TP to a waypoint on your map, do /tpwp followed by the waypoint name.
