About the mod

Better Pets Owning a dog, cat, parrot or horse, done right. /pets lists every pet you own and where it is - even in unloaded chunks. Find one with a glow and an on-screen arrow, call it to you, rename it without a name tag, give it to a friend. Your own sword no longer hurts your pets, a lead on your pet never snaps, and when a pet dies you get the exact spot. Shift-right-click a pet for a full menu. Runs on the server: with the mod on your client too you get the custom screen, without it a chest menu with the same buttons.
