Let Sleeping Dogs Lie - Fabric
by IMS
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie - Fabric makes dogs lie down in random poses after they have sat idle for a configurable time, then jump back up when a player approaches.
What it does
Once a dog has been sitting for the configured period with no owner nearby, it settles into one of roughly fifty lying combinations. Which poses are used can be set in the config, and all of them are enabled by default. When the owner walks back within the chosen range, the dog rises from the lying position and returns to sitting.
The mod is a client-side visual change, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it. It requires Fabric API and Cloth Config, and it is not compatible with Doggy Talents, since that mod overhauls wolves and dogs in a different way. An option also tries to add model support for other modded wolves.
The files are published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.19.2, with builds covering 1.17 – 1.19.2 across six release versions. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Random lying poses
Dogs choose among many lying positions at random, so a pack of dogs does not settle identically.
Configurable idle time
The period a dog must sit before lying down can be adjusted in the config file.
Wake-up range
The distance at which an approaching owner makes a dog stand up can be set to suit the player's preference.
Pose selection
Individual lying poses can be enabled or disabled, so only the wanted variants appear in the world.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Idle pets in a base
Tamed dogs left waiting near a house or farm rest visibly instead of staring at the player.
Screenshots and scenes
Players building a scene with dogs can use the lying poses for a calmer, more varied look.
Who it’s for: Players who keep tamed dogs and want them to rest between adventures. Players who run Doggy Talents should not expect this mod to work alongside it.
