Bond of the Beast - Shape Shifter Curse Addon
by Cleanin
Bond of the Beast lets a player tame another player, put a collar on them and give commands such as Stay, Heel and Blood Guard, as an addon to Shape Shifter Curse.
What it does
The addon introduces player taming on top of Shape Shifter Curse. A player can collar a friend and turn them into a loyal pet, or take that role on themselves. The owner then issues commands: Stay keeps the pet seated in place until the command is cancelled, while Heel teleports a pet that wanders too far back, much as vanilla Minecraft does with tamed animals.
Combat and utility commands extend the bond. Blood Guard blinds the pet and makes it glow while it attacks the master's targets, and the pet deals extra damage. Soft Paws stops the pet from breaking blocks and from attacking or interacting with the world, with toggleable bans and customizable whitelists and blacklists. Pet Treat lets the master hand-feed the pet to restore hunger and saturation and raise the Bond Level. Bond of the Beast requires Fabric API, Shape Shifter Curse and Trinkets. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric only, in the 1.20.1 game version.
