Proper Pet Teleport
by TheEpicBlock
Proper Pet Teleport keeps tamed dogs, cats and parrots following their owners when they are outside simulation or render distance, which vanilla does not always do.
What it does
Vanilla pets stop following once they are outside simulation or render distance, and players can lose them after exploring far from home. This mod adds checks so that pets keep following their owners either way, and the owner is less likely to lose a pet by accident. It also covers cases where a player is moved suddenly, such as by a command or an ender pearl, or dies, so a teleport does not leave a pet behind.
Installation needs Fabric API. Proper Pet Teleport runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, and the latest Fabric build is 1.2.5 for 26.2, dated 2026-06-27. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Pets follow beyond render distance
Tamed pets keep following their owner even when they are outside simulation or render distance.
Fixes dog and pet teleportation
Dogs and other tamed pets are teleported along with their owner in cases where vanilla would leave them behind.
Sudden teleports handled
Moves made by commands, ender pearls or death are handled, so pets are not stranded when the player is moved suddenly.
Fewer accidental losses
Pets are less likely to be lost after long exploration, since the mod adds its own follow checks on top of vanilla behaviour.
