Cat Stays Home

by apegale

Cat Stays Home lets players stop a tamed cat from following them everywhere by toggling its behavior with a crouched right-click.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.5

What it does

A cat that has been tamed normally teleports to its owner when the owner moves far away. This mod adds a way to switch that behavior off for a given cat, so the animal can stay where it was left. Right-clicking the cat while crouching toggles the setting, which also covers the case of a cat that sits forever and never follows. The mod runs on NeoForge 1.21.5 and is needed on the client and the server.

Key features

  1. Stay-home toggle

    A crouched right-click on a cat switches whether that cat teleports to its owner.

  2. Disable teleporting

    With the toggle off, the cat keeps its position instead of teleporting after its owner.

  3. Fixes sitting cats

    A cat that stays sitting forever can be set to behave normally again with the same action.
