boyo Posted February 4, 2025 Report Posted February 4, 2025 i recently bought an elk and packed him up with gear to go traveling, however i spent a little while on the journey traveling my foot and not I can't summon him, his marker on the map says hes right next to my house but hes not there, i used no clip and hes not in a cave under my house either, the flute does nothing and I dont want to have to buy a new elk and make the gear for him, what do I do? this is a screenshot of the map and you can see his marker is there but the elk himself is not
LadyWYT Posted February 4, 2025 Report Posted February 4, 2025 Odd. It looks like he's parked in a stable, so he should still be inside, but have you checked around the nearby area to make sure he didn't get out and wander off? The bone flute has a limited range, so if he managed to wander off(assuming icon is glitched) then he might be too far away to respond to the whistle. I'd also make sure that there's enough light inside--not sure if they despawn or not due to lack of light, but I would assume they do. If he despawned, that could have also caused an icon glitch, I suppose. The only other thing I can think of to check, outside of restarting your game or checking any installed mods, is to make sure an ownership medallion is equipped(which it should be, if your mount has an icon), as the bone flute won't call your mount otherwise.

Maethius Posted March 16, 2025 Report Posted March 16, 2025 Having this problem right now... elk marker shows up about 30,000 blocks from where I last crashed. I've seen his marker there before, so I know he really isn't there. Used /tp command to go there and verified he's not. No idea where he is now. He's carrying a LOT of valuable loot, too... I just finished exploring a Forlorn Hope tower 21,500 blocks north of my base! There needs to be a distance summon or "force to spawn" command for the elk!

sdkenny Posted March 28, 2025 Report Posted March 28, 2025 I'm also experiencing this. Elk shows close to 0,0 but I have been at 0,-5000 for a long time. I have run all over my normal areas using the flute. This seemed to happen after a server restart.
Pocok5 Posted March 30, 2025 Report Posted March 30, 2025 Similar issue. I had a game crash when entering a Better Ruins ruin. When I restarted the game, the ruin was nowhere to be found, I was a few blocks underground in a modded village. The elk was nowhere to be found even after retracing my route back home in creative while blowing the flute and watching a Block Overlay scan for tamed elks. The marker is at home in the usual "elk parking place". Spawning a new elk doesn't work - it doesn't accept a medallion, so the original is probably *somewhere* alive.
Ceridith Posted March 30, 2025 Report Posted March 30, 2025 I encountered similar issues with both the elk and sailboat a few days ago, where if the game crashes while you're riding on either they get stuck in some limbo state when you load back into the world. I dug through the audit logs to find the entity IDs and poked around with some of the debug commands to try to find them after this happens. From what I found the entities still exist in the world and seem to follow your character around if you search the location of the entity as if you're still riding them, but they're completely invisible and cannot be interacted with in any way. I haven't been able to find any way to pull them out of this state once this happens, so they're just kind of lost to the void.
