I Don't Want to Hurt Pets!

by celesteMoon

I Don't Want to Hurt Pets! is a Fabric client mod that stops players from accidentally harming tamed animals belonging to other players.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.21.5

What it does

Players can hit another player's pet by accident, and this mod adds a protection layer on the client so the hit does not land. A hotkey, H by default, switches the protection on and off. Only the client needs the mod, so a server can run without it and players join without any server-side setup. Because the restriction runs on the client, it behaves as protection rather than a server plugin.

The mod is released for Fabric and built for 1.21.5, the only version tested. Its code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and public source and an issue tracker are linked from its page. The author expects it to work on newer versions with little change but has not verified that.

Key features

  1. Accidental hit prevention

    Attacks on pets owned by other players are blocked on the client, so a stray click does not harm them.

  2. Toggle hotkey

    Pressing H turns the protection on or off, and the default key can be changed in the controls menu.

  3. Client-side design

    Protection runs on the player's own game, so no server plugin or server install is needed.

Questions

Does I Don't Want to Hurt Pets! need to be on the server?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

What the author says

Press the hotkey (default: H) and the mod will be enabled/disabled. A: Because there's already plenty of mods and plugins which works around the problem from server-side. To me, this function is more like a protection than a restriction, so I decided to develop a fully client-side mod to achieve this.
