What it does

Pets Mod runs on the client alone, so a player can use pets in singleplayer and on servers without the server installing anything. Vanilla mobs can serve as pets, and some of the custom ones also work on servers, including singleplayer worlds. The mob pack covers three mobs built for the mod, each with custom ambient sounds, along with custom interactions with the player.

The mod has its own configuration screen. Through it a player can toggle the mod, switch between pets, and change a pet's appearance by choosing skins and names. Settings are stored in a file in the .minecraft/config folder and are read when a player enters a new world. Custom commands also handle toggling and switching pets.

Pets Mod depends on Cloth Config API, Fabric API, UniMixins and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), which must all be installed alongside it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt, Java Agent, Legacy Fabric, LiteLoader, ModLoader, NilLoader, Ornithe and Rift, across 89 release versions 1.5.1 – 26.3, under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Client-side pets

    Pets are handled on the player's side, so they can be used without any server installation.

  2. Vanilla mob pets

    Many vanilla mobs can be chosen as pets, and some custom ones work on servers as well.

  3. Configuration screen

    A built-in screen lets a player toggle the mod, switch pets and change their skins and names.

  4. Custom interactions

    The custom mobs respond to the player with their own interactions and ambient sounds.

Solo cosmetic companions

A player in a singleplayer world can keep a pet that follows them, changing its look at any time through the configuration screen.
