About this project

What does Pet Vault add?

Pet Vault

Store, summon, and manage your tamed pets and mounts from one place.
Supports any player-owned creature: wolves, cats, parrots, horses, allays, and more.

Modrinth | CurseForge


Features

  • Store up to 10 tamed companions per player (configurable): wolves, cats, parrots, horses, donkeys, mules, llamas, allays, and any other player-owned mob.
  • Right-click your tamed companion to register it to the vault.
  • Right-click a summoned companion to permanently unregister it from the vault (the animal stays in the world).
  • Open the radial menu to see all stored companions with their names, health, and status.
  • Companions and upgrades are bound to you, not the locket — losing or replacing the locket never affects your stored companions.
  • Unlock passive healing with a Life Crystal — stored pets slowly regenerate health.
  • Unlock pet revive with a Soul Crystal — if a summoned pet dies it recovers after 5 minutes at full health.
  • Healing and revive timers catch up while you were offline.
  • Curios / Trinkets integration — equip the locket in a dedicated equipment slot where supported (see Mod Compatibility below).
  • Works out of the box with any mod's pets or mounts built on vanilla's TamableAnimal/OwnableEntity — no extra setup needed.

Requirements

  • One of: NeoForge, Forge, or Fabric with Fabric API

Mod Compatibility

Optional equipment-slot mods — the locket works from your inventory without them, but a dedicated slot frees the space up:

Mod 26.1.x 1.21.1 1.20.1
NeoForge Forge Fabric NeoForge Forge Fabric Forge Fabric
Curios 🛠️
Trinkets
  • ✅ Supported — implemented, works today
  • 🛠️ Planned — other mod supports this loader; not yet implemented by me
  • ⏳ Blocked — other mod has no build for this loader/version yet
  • — Not applicable — other mod won't support this

"Trinkets" means different mods depending on version: the original dev.emi/trinkets on 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, but eu.pb4/trinkets ("Trinkets Updated") on 26.1.x — a from-scratch rewrite with a different API, since the original isn't maintained for that version.

1.20.1 has no NeoForge column — I don't support that version.

Pets and mounts from other mods: works automatically for anything built on vanilla's TamableAnimal/OwnableEntity. Auto-riding (shift-left-click to summon and mount) is opt-in per entity type — add the entity to the pet_vault:auto_rideable tag or the extraRideableEntities config option to enable shift-click-mounting for it. Entities with no ownership concept at all (e.g. iron golems) aren't storable by default — see Configuration below to opt one in via the pet_vault:storable tag.

Getting Started

  1. Craft or obtain the Keeper's Locket and keep it in your inventory.
  2. Right-click any tamed companion you own to register it to the vault.
  3. Press V (default) to open the radial menu and summon or store pets by clicking their slice.
  4. Left-click on a slice to summon a companion. Left-click again, to store it.

Items

Keeper's Locket

The core item. Keep it in your inventory to access the radial menu. Right-click a tamed companion you own to register it to the vault. Right-click a summoned companion to permanently unregister it from the vault (the animal stays in the world).

Radial menu controls:

  • Left-click — summon or store
  • Shift+left-click — summon and immediately mount (rideable companions only)
  • Ctrl+left-click — force-summon directly in front of you
  • Right-click — toggle bodyguard mode; the pet auto-summons when you take damage (shown with a blue line)
  • Shift+right-click — select a slice (highlighted yellow); shift+right-click a second slice to swap their order; click the same slice again to deselect

Life Crystal

Craft with a golden apple surrounded by four emeralds (shapeless). Consuming it permanently unlocks passive healing for all your stored pets — they regenerate 1% of max health every 3 seconds while stored.

Soul Crystal

Craft with a totem of undying surrounded by four emeralds (shapeless). Consuming it permanently unlocks pet revive — if a summoned pet dies, instead of being lost it enters a 5-minute recovery period and returns at full health.

Debug Items (creative only)

Available in the Pet Vault creative tab.

  • Golden Bone — right-click any untamed tamable creature to instantly tame it to yourself
  • Keeper's Magnifier — inspect vault data and entity state for nearby creatures

Configuration

A config file is generated at config/pet_vault-common.toml on first launch. All settings take effect after restarting or reloading the world.

Setting Default Description
maxPets 10 Maximum pets stored per player (1–16)
maxSummonedPets -1 (unlimited) Maximum pets summoned at once
enableLifeCrystal true If false, Life Crystal does nothing and its recipe is removed
enableSoulCrystal true If false, Soul Crystal does nothing and its recipe is removed
healingRatePercent 1.0 % of max health healed per heal tick
healIntervalTicks 60 Ticks between each heal tick (60 = every 3 seconds)
reviveTimerSeconds 300 Seconds a dead pet waits before it can be summoned again
excludedEntities [] Entity types that cannot be stored, e.g. ["minecraft:wolf"]
extraRideableEntities [] Entity types that can be auto-ridden via shift-left-click, e.g. ["minecraft:pig"]

Allowing specific mobs (data pack only, no config option): some entities have no ownership concept at all (e.g. iron golems). Add entity types to the pet_vault:storable tag to opt them into storage; they're stored first-come, first-served since there's no owner to check.

Blocking specific mobs via data pack: add entity types to the pet_vault:excluded tag so your mod can ship its own exclusions without touching config.

Allowing more auto-rideable mobs via data pack: add entity types to the pet_vault:auto_rideable tag so your mod can ship its own auto-rideable mounts without touching config.

FAQ

Do I need to keep the Keeper's Locket in my inventory?

Yes, to open the radial menu. Losing the locket does not delete your stored pets — they are saved to your player data and will still be there when you get a new locket.

Does healing or the revive timer work while I'm offline?

Yes — when you log back in, the mod calculates how much time passed and applies healing and revive timers accordingly.

Can another player steal my pets by picking up my locket?

No. Pets are bound to you specifically — picking up your locket gives no access to your pets.
