Transfer Pet Owner

by Jodek

With Transfer Pet Owner, a player can hand a tamed pet over to another player who is online at the time.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

The mod lets a player give one of their pets to another player. The receiving player has to be online when the transfer happens, and the transfer is started by naming that player. Below 1.21.5, the owner holds a Book and Quill, looks at the pet and uses the book to start the transfer. From 1.21.5 on, the owner sneaks while looking at the pet with a Book and Quill in hand instead.

The server has to run the mod, while players may add it to their clients and gain nothing extra from it. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also available. The mod is open source under the MIT License and was first published in July 2024.
