Pet Gravestone
Pet Gravestone leaves a stone marker where a tamed pet dies, and a revive item can bring the pet back to that spot.
What it does
When a tamed mob dies, a gravestone is left at its location instead of the pet simply vanishing. Three item tags are created for the revive items, which come in low, normal and high quality. A low quality item revives the pet with a 5% chance, a normal one with 20%, and a high quality one always succeeds. The default revive item can be changed in the data files, under the item tags folder of the pet gravestone namespace.
The mod is for survival worlds and tamed pet setups where losing a dog, cat or horse would otherwise be permanent. It needs to be installed on both the server and every player's client, since the gravestone and revive logic run server side and the client must show the same objects. A revived pet still leaves its gravestone with a particle effect around it, and the ground is mined after revival so the marker does not stay in the world.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 5 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, with the latest builds for 1.21.8. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
