Polpetts!
by Myriath
Polpetts! brings a small pet called the Polpett into Minecraft, with eggs to hatch, feeding and happiness to manage, and hats to equip.
What it does
Players hatch a Polpett from an egg, and the hatch takes a long time, so an Egg Incubator placed under the egg speeds it up. The incubator is a craftable block that works as a station for the Polpett Researcher villager profession, where players can trade cosmetics and alternate colored Polpett eggs. A Polpett pet can be fed and kept happy, and Polpett Gardens generate buried below the surface in several biomes, including oceans and mountains, and there are Polpett buckets for carrying them.
Right-click is the main way to interact with a Polpett, and the action depends on whether the player is sneaking. With an empty hand, a click on either pet raises Happiness or satiates Hunger, and the status can be checked from the same action. Holding food or another item and clicking feeds the Polpett, while sneaking and right-clicking equips or unequips hats. The pet has two stats, Hunger and Happiness.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
