Easy Pets
by TecnaGamer
Easy Pets, a server-side Fabric mod, keeps tamed pets easier to manage by loading their chunks, recovering lost pets and speeding up their movement.
What it does
Smart chunk loading keeps the chunks a pet is following active, so pets do not end up stuck in unloaded areas. Only the chunks that pets are following are loaded, rather than a wide area around each one. Pet tracking recovery lets a player locate and recover a pet with a few simple commands, which addresses the case where a pet is left behind. When a pet falls behind, it sprints to close the gap and then keeps pace with its owner.
Pets also heal slowly over time, in the same way horses do, through natural regeneration. A configurable set of options lets server owners tweak these behaviours. The mod works with IndyPets Integration and with other pet mods. It requires Fabric API, and it is released under the MIT License, so the code is open source. Files are published only for Fabric, for 1.21.6, 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file.
Key features
Smart chunk loading
The mod loads just the chunks where pets are following their owner, so they never end up stranded in unloaded terrain.
Pet tracking and recovery
Commands let a player locate and recover pets without searching the map by hand.
Dynamic movement
Pets run faster to catch up with the player and match its speed without extra steps.
Natural regeneration
Pets slowly heal over time, similar to horses in vanilla Minecraft.
Configurable settings
Options for chunk loading, movement and regeneration can be adjusted to suit a server.

Use cases
Multiplayer pet keeping
Server owners who run pet-based gameplay can reduce lost pets and missing chunks without asking players to install anything.
Long-distance travel
Players who explore far from home can keep pets close, since they follow faster and stay loaded along the route.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want pets to stay loaded and recoverable, and players who travel with their pets over long distances.
