Soul linked mobs
by FinnT730
Soul linked mobs links a tamed animal to its owner so that when the animal dies, the link causes the owner to die as well.
What it does
The mod adds a soul link between a tamed animal and its owner. Horses, donkeys and cats can be tamed and linked this way. The link is applied in one direction only: when the tamed animal dies, the player dies, while other tamed animals do not pass their death on to the player. The mod is meant for hardcore worlds, where losing an animal has real consequences. Because the mod is released under the MIT License, the code is open source. It is published for Forge only, for 1.18.2, with the 1.0 file dated 2023-01-16, and either side can run it, and neither needs it.
Key features
Linked horses, donkeys and cats

One-way death link
When a linked animal dies, the owner dies too; other tamed animals do not trigger this.
Built for hardcore play
The link raises the cost of losing a tamed animal, which suits hardcore survival worlds.
