Invincible Pets
by appleroox
Invincible Pets lets players protect tamed wolves, axolotls and other animals from damage through an enchanted golden apple effect that works with a server-side setup.
What it does
The mod adds an invulnerability effect to pets and other animals. An enchanted golden apple applies the effect, and a milk bucket removes it. Invulnerable wolves and axolotls keep attacking passive and hostile mobs, but they cannot be hurt by them, which keeps them from being overpowered as a companion in battle. Other animals receive the effect once they are named with a nametag.
The mod is a survival-friendly option for servers that want safer pets. Polar Bears and Hoglins are supported because they act hostile toward players, and aquatic creatures are supported as well. Fabric API is required, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Invincible Pets is published for Fabric only, across three release versions, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with 0.1.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest beta file. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.
Key features
Invulnerability effect
An enchanted golden apple gives a pet or animal the invulnerability effect, protecting it from damage.
Milk bucket removal
Drinking milk removes the invulnerability effect from a pet, returning it to normal behavior.
Combat-balanced companions
Invulnerable wolves and axolotls attack passive and hostile mobs without being harmed, so they do not dominate fights.
Nametag-based targeting
The effect applies to most other animal mobs once they are named with a nametag first.
Hostile mob support
Polar Bears and Hoglins are supported, since they are hostile toward players, along with aquatic creatures.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Survival players and server owners who want companion animals that stay alive. The mod suits worlds where pets would otherwise be lost in battles with hostile mobs.
How it compares
Passive Pets is a Fabric mod for 26.2 under the MIT License, running on client and server, so both sides need it. Protect Villagers is server-side only and covers 26.1 – 26.2, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Polar Bear Overhaul targets 1.21.8 on the client and server, and carries a custom license that is not open source.

What the author says
It uses enchanted golden apples to apply invulnerability to animals. Milk buckets can be used to remove the effect. While invulnerable, wolves and axolotl will no longer attack passive or hostile mobs, even to defend the player! This ensures you don't have an overpowered super companion at your side during battle.
