PettableMobs
by Mouldytoast
PettableMobs lets players pet non-hostile mobs with the P key, tame some animals over repeated pets and earn a little experience for each one.
What it does
Pressing the P key near a passive mob pets it. Each pet heals the mob by one heart, which is 2 HP, freezes it for 10 ticks, and spawns heart particles around it. Animals that are petted four times in a row become tamed, and every pet awards a small amount of experience, limited to mobs that cannot be farmed for it.
A one-second cooldown between consecutive pets stops rapid clicking, and the key must be released and pressed again rather than held down, so repeated petting needs deliberate input. Audio feedback plays the experience pickup sound on each pet. The mod runs on Fabric for 26.3 and needs Fabric API. The server must run it, while players may leave it out.
Files cover 1.21.11 and 26.2 as well as 26.3, all published on 2026-09-20 for Fabric. The license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Pet with the P key
Pressing the P key near a non-hostile mob pets it, healing it by one heart and freezing it briefly.
Taming through repeated pets
Four consecutive pets tame an untamed animal, which turns petting into a small progression step.
Experience for petting
Each pet grants one point of experience, limited to mobs that cannot be farmed for experience.
Visual and audio feedback
Heart particles appear around petted mobs and the experience pickup sound plays on every pet.
Spam protection
A one-second cooldown and a key that must be released before pressing again prevent rapid petting.
