About this project
What does PetProtect add?
# PetProtect
PetProtect is a lightweight NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that prevents players from accidentally or intentionally damaging tamed pets while preserving the vanilla gameplay experience.
- The mod protects tameable entities such as Wolves, Cats, Horses, Donkeys, Mules, Llamas, and other supported pets.
- Server administrators can bypass pet protection using a regular **Stick** renamed in an **Anvil**. Hold the renamed Stick in your **main hand** to temporarily bypass protection.
- The permission names can be changed or expanded in the configuration file (
config/petprotect-common.toml), allowing multiple custom names if desired. - The mod is fully configurable, including pet protection, Creative Mode bypass, the Permission Stick system, and custom permission names.
Permission Stick Names

## Compatible with:
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1.234
Perfect for Survival servers, SMPs, Vanilla+, modpacks, and private worlds.
