Pet Totems
by dominosq
Pet Totems lets a totem of undying keep tamed pets such as wolves, cats and parrots safe from falls and other damage, on NeoForge.
What it does
Pet Totems extends the totem of undying to tamed animals, so a pet that would otherwise die from a fall or a hit can be saved. The vanilla pets it covers are wolves, cats, parrots, horses, donkeys, llamas and mules. Other modded pets that use the OwnableEntity interface are usually supported as well.
The mod runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11, with files for 12 release versions. Both the server and every player need it, because the protection is applied on the server side. The code is not open source; the author has released the source publicly, and the license is All rights reserved.
