Pet Collecting
by RelayModding
Pet Collecting adds fourteen collectable pets for Forge 1.19.2, each earned through a specific in-game action such as chopping wood or swimming in lava.
What it does
Pets enter the player's inventory during ordinary play. Each one is tied to an activity: flying with an elytra brings the Air Pet, slaying the Ender Dragon brings the End Pet, and brewing potions brings the Potion Pet. Every pet carries its own unique ability, so collecting more of them changes how the game plays.
The mod was built through relay modding, a chain in which each participant wrote part of the code within a four-hour window before passing the project on. Five relays brought the first version to completion, and the authors note that each contributor brought a different programming style. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is open source under the MIT License. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, for the single game version 1.19.2, and the authors state that updates are planned.
Key features
Fourteen collectable pets
The mod adds fourteen pets, each with its own ability, covering animals, terrain, fluids, flowers, potions and the End.
Task-based pet acquisition
Pets are earned during everyday tasks such as chopping trees, digging sand, breaking stone-type blocks or killing hostile mobs.
Unique pet abilities
Each pet grants a different ability, so the set of collected pets determines the effects a player can use.
Player death pet
A pet is also linked to player deaths, which gives the collection a second, less common way to fill in.
