Dogs Unleashed
Dogs Unleashed adds five new dog breeds to Fabric for 1.21.1, with a fetch system, dog beds, graves and a radial command wheel for tamed dogs.
What it does
Every breed differs in its stats, the biomes where it appears, its coat variants and its bark sounds, and GeckoLib drives idle, walk, sit, sleep, head-shake, tilt and tail-wag poses. Tamed dogs take real commands through a radial wheel with eight options, opened by right-clicking them, and a dog can also be sent to fetch items.
The mod is open source under the MIT License. Both Fabric API and Geckolib are required, and the environment is client and server, so servers and every player need it. The latest file is 0.2.0 for 1.21.1, an alpha build from 2026-08-15, and the project was first published on 2026-06-21. Public source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.
Key features
Five dog breeds
Five breeds join the game, each with its own stats, biome spawns, coat variants and bark sounds.
Fetch and return
Dogs chase thrown projectiles through the air, retrieve items where they land and return the drop to the player's feet.
Leash and follow
Dogs follow at heel, pause while leashed and walk along the lead, and a leashed dog never falls asleep on its own.
Dog beds and graves
Beds and grave markers let dogs rest and mark their resting places, with a full advancement tab for the set.
Collar-matched rope
The lead rope takes on the color of the dog's collar, so a walking pack stays readable at a glance.

How it compares
Doggo Mod Overhauled is Fabric-only for 1.18 – 1.20.2, client and server, and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not cover 1.21.1. C37-Cute Dogs runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, client and server, under the Apache License 2.0, and is not open source. Mushroom the Yorkie is also client and server, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric only.
