Forever Pets
by koteeq
Forever Pets keeps tamed cats, wolves and parrots from dying, so a pet that has been tamed stays alive through damage, commands and most other threats.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, every tamed cat, wolf and parrot becomes immortal, including pets that were tamed before installation. Damage from the environment, from players and from commands does not kill them, and the mod keeps them safe even when a kill command is used against them. Only cats, wolves and parrots are supported, so other pet types are not covered.
Forever Pets runs on the server alone, and players join without installing anything. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, under the MIT License, which makes the source code open source. The mod changes game balance, since immortal wolves keep attacking hostile mobs; a configuration option lets a pet be made immortal or returned to normal, and removing the mod is the only other way to undo the effect.
Key features
Immortal tamed pets
Tamed cats, wolves and parrots cannot be killed by damage, and a kill command does not end their lives.
Existing pets protected
Pets tamed before the mod was installed become immortal as soon as it runs on the server.
Choose which pets are immortal
A pet can be made immortal or returned to normal, so owners are not forced to protect every animal.
Immortal pets still fight
Protected wolves and cats keep attacking hostile mobs, so they remain useful in combat.

Use cases

Server pet protection
Server owners can prevent pet loss from accidents, griefing or misused commands on a multiplayer world.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want tamed cats, wolves and parrots to survive damage and commands. Because the mod changes game balance, it suits servers that accept immortal pets as part of their rules.

What the author says
Simply makes all tamed cats, wolves and parrots completely immortal. Even /kill won't kill them. If you are playing multiplayer, you only need the mod on your server.
