yossiikun pet health boost
by yossiikun
Yossiikun Pet Health Boost gives tamed animals 1,000 extra maximum health, so pets last longer in fights.
What it does
The mod applies a permanent health attribute modifier to tamed animals, increasing their maximum health by 1,000. The change is stored on each pet, so it stays in place after a restart and does not expire. It targets tamed animals only, leaving wild mobs and players unchanged.
The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge; the Forge build targets 1.20.1 and the NeoForge build targets 26.1.2, with 1.21.1 also listed among the game versions with files. Both current releases are dated 2026-10-15. The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License, and the project is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

How it compares
Pet Vault is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 26.2 that must run on both the client and the server, released under All rights reserved. Angel Collars is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, also needed on both sides, and is released under CC0 1.0 Universal. Unlike these, Yossiikun Pet Health Boost has one narrow function, a health change for pets, instead of collars or vaults.
