Pet Frogs and More!
by Trinketina
Pet Frogs and More! lets players pet and interact with frogs, dogs, cats and other animals that the vanilla game leaves untouched.
What it does
The mod adds a right-click petting system to many passive and tamed mobs. Tamed dogs and cats can be toggled between sitting and standing by petting them, and frogs react with a heart particle and a small croak when touched with an empty hand. Striders can be saddled, parrots can be picked up by crouching and holding right-click, and horses, mules, donkeys, llamas and camels follow similar rules for mounting and petting.
The mod extends the petting set to sheep, cows, sniffers and small slimes, and supports modded entities whose models follow the same animation layout. Because the animations rely on custom bone names, modded models must keep their original Java part names to work. The mod requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API on Fabric, and it is open source under the MIT License. Players need it to use the new interactions, while a server can run without it, since either side can skip it for the base game.
Key features
Petting for many mobs
Dogs, cats, sheep, cows, sniffers and small slimes respond to right-click petting, adding affection to the world.
Frog interactions
Frogs react to a click with an empty hand, showing a heart particle and a croak, and they can be made to croak at night.
Rideable horse-like mobs
Horses, mules, donkeys, llamas and camels can be saddled and mounted by crouching and right-clicking, while parrots can be picked up onto the shoulder.
Modded entity support
Modded entities with compatible animations gain the same petting and heart particle behavior, with offsets adjusted to fit.
