More Pets
More Pets adds extra vanilla-style pets to Minecraft, including a dachshund with several skins that can be chosen with a nametag.
What it does
The mod extends the set of tameable companions in the game, adding pets that follow the player in the same way as the vanilla animals that can be tamed. Each new pet is meant to feel close to the existing vanilla designs rather than to bring in a separate system of its own.
One of the added pets is a dachshund with multiple skins. A player picks the skin by naming the animal with a nametag, so the look of a tamed dachshund can differ from one pet to the next. Future updates are planned by the author, and the mod is built for NeoForge on version 1.21.4.
Installation is needed on both sides, since servers and players both run it. Builds are published only for NeoForge and only for 1.21.4, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Black sun is a NeoForge pet mod for 1.21.4 with the same client and server environment, but it is not open source and is released as All rights reserved. PetManager is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and targets 1.21.1, so it does not cover the same version. Pet Compass is open source under the MIT License and works on NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.21.1, and it is client required with the server optional.
