What it does

The addon extends DragN's Livestock Overhaul by reworking tamable animals, which the base mod already reclassifies as pets. Animals that the base mod converts are set up automatically when they spawn, and they appear with randomized variants. The addon revamps models and textures and adjusts some mechanics, while keeping the visual style of the original Livestock Overhaul content.

Animations were built with the Geckolib animation library, which the addon depends on. Players who see rendering problems can try turning off entity shadows, both in the game options and in the shader options, especially when a shader loader such as Iris is in use. Turning off the Iris Oculus Geckolib compatibility mod may also help on 1.20.1. The author notes that this does not fix every case.

The mod is available for Forge on 1.20.1 only, with a single file, version 2.1, dated 2026-05-22. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Both the client and the server need it, so every player on a server that runs it must install it too.

How it compares

Full comparison

Team Pets is server-side only, released under the MIT License and built for 1.20.1, so players can join without installing it. Friendly Pets is also for Forge 1.20.1, released under the MIT License and needed on both client and server. Epic RPG: Safe Pets is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved and also runs on client and server, so it differs from this addon mainly in its pet protection focus.
