Transferable Pets
by WinterWolfSV
With Transferable Pets, a player can hand the ownership of a tamed pet to another player on a Fabric server.
What it does
Vanilla tamed pets belong to the player who tamed them, and the mod changes that. A player holding a leash can perform a shift and right-click action on a pet owned by someone else, which passes ownership of that pet to the player holding the leash. The change is made on the server, so players who join the server need no extra installation.
Transferable Pets is built for Fabric, and its files also run on Paper, Spigot and Bukkit servers. Files cover 1.19 – 1.21 across nine release versions, with the latest Fabric file, 1.0.5, targeting 1.21. Snapshot builds are published as well. The source code and the issue tracker are public, and the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, which allows use, modification and distribution for non-commercial purposes if the original author is credited and the license text is included in redistributed copies.
Key features
Ownership transfer
A shift and right-click on another player's pet passes its ownership to the player who performed the action.
Leash-based handover
The transfer is triggered with a leash held by the player, so pets can be given away without a command.
Vanilla pet behavior
Pets keep their vanilla behavior, and only the owner assignment changes after a transfer.
Public source code
The source code and issue tracker are public, so server owners can read how the transfer works.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
This mod also publishes snapshot builds. Snapshots are not shown in the matrix.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric, Paper, Spigot or Bukkit who want players to pass tamed pets between accounts. Only the server needs the mod.
