Immortal Pets

by zooi

Immortal Pets keeps tamed animals from dying, so a player who dislikes losing a pet can stop worrying about it.

FabricForgeServer-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.6

What it does

Once a pet is tamed, it becomes immune to damage and cannot die from harm. The only way to remove it is the kill command, which the mod leaves as the single exception. The author made the mod because taming animals was always hard to commit to, given the fear of losing them. The mod runs on the server, so players join without installing anything. It requires Architectury API. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.6 on Fabric and Forge, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Immortal tamed animals

    A tamed animal takes no damage and does not die from attacks, falls or other harm.

  2. Kill command exception

    The kill command still removes a tamed animal, so pets can be deliberately removed.

  3. Server-side install

    Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing it.

What the author says

Every tamed animal becomes immune to all damage, making them immortal. The only exception is the /kill command, but nobody is that cruel. I made this mod because I've always been reluctant to tame animals in Minecraft in fear of losing them. I know they're not real but it still feels bad. Now they are invincible.
