PatPat [Mod & Plugin]

by LopyMine

Players can pat any living mob in the game with PatPat, which is available as a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt mod and as a plugin for server platforms.

What it does

Holding a pat action toward a living mob plays a patting animation on the mob, and the mod covers both loved and unloved mobs. Several custom animations were made during development and are part of the mod's behavior. Translations of the interface are handled through Weblate, and translators are credited in Mod Menu for each language.

Installation on a modded client needs Fabric API, which is required on Fabric. Cloth Config API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional and add configuration screens. Pat Potion requires PatPat, so the mod is used as a base by at least one other catalog mod. For non-modded servers, a separate PatPat Plugin provides only the server-side behavior on Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Folia and related forks; a Velocity version is planned.

Key features

  1. Patting living mobs

    The mod lets players pat living mobs, including ones that are normally ignored in the game.

  2. Custom animations

    Dedicated animations were created for the patting action and shown on the mob during play.

  3. Plugin for non-modded servers

    A plugin version gives servers without mods the server-side part of the patting behavior.

  4. Configuration screens

    Optional support for Cloth Config API, Mod Menu and YACL adds settings screens for the mod.

Use cases

Single-player and modded multiplayer

Players who install PatPat on a client can pat mobs in their own worlds or on modded servers.

Non-modded servers

Server owners running Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur or Folia can install the plugin so players interact without a modded client.

Who it’s for: Players who want to interact with mobs in the game, and server owners running a non-modded server who want the plugin version of the mod.

Questions

Does PatPat need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 40 release versions, 1.16 – 26.3.

Do servers need PatPat installed?

The mod is client-side, so a modded server does not need it to run. For a non-modded server, the separate PatPat Plugin is the option to install.

Is the source code available?

Yes. PatPat is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
