CurseForge downloads Minecraft 26.1 to 26.3 Fabric, Forge, NeoForge Client and server Java 25 Requires Mycel Docs on the wiki License

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 to open its page in your pet book. Install it on the server and on every client.

The pet book

Shift-right-click your pet, or use /pets menu or /betterpets menu. Every pet has its own page: its name, the pet itself, hearts, what it is doing, where it is, its scarf and the food you carry. The first page lists all your pets. Turn pages with the arrows, the arrow keys or the mouse wheel. Five covers: Winter (snow, icicles, holly and falling snow, on by default from 15 November to 15 January),

The pet book in its Winter cover: Rex the wolf in a red scarf on the left page, his hearts, whereabouts, scarf and food on the right

The same page of the pet book in five covers: Winter, Midnight, Forest, Leather and Classic

Winter update

Pet Scarf: Craft it from 3 wool and a string, dye it any colour, then right-click your own dog or cat with it. It sits around the neck and moves with the pet. Take it off from the pet book; it drops if the pet dies. Sleep on your bed: When you go to bed, your dogs come and lie down on the end of it. Dogs you told to sit stay where they are. Snowy coats: Dogs and cats out in falling snow turn white

Behavior

Every tamed animal with an owner counts as a pet: wolves, cats, parrots, horses, donkeys, mules, llamas, camels, nautiluses and modded tamables. /pets: Lists them all, one line each, with health, distance and buttons. Pets in unloaded chunks keep their last known spot ("2 h ago"). /pets find <pet>: Makes the pet glow for 30 s and shows an arrow with the distance above the hotbar. /pets call <pet>:>

Anonymous stats

Better Pets sends anonymous stats (pet counts, species, which features get used, and errors in its own code) to its FastStats project through Mycel. It follows Mycel's choice exactly: the one-time screen in your own game, shareStats / shareErrors in config/mycel.json on servers.

Configuration

Configuration table: enabled, true, Master switch.; petMenu, true, Shift-right-clicking your pet and /pets menu open the pet book.; protectFromOwner, true, Owners cannot hurt their own pets unless sneaking.; strongLeads, true, Pets on their owner's lead are pulled along instead of snapping off.; deathAlerts, true, Tell the owner where a pet died.; allowCall, true, Allow /pets call.; callCooldownSeconds, 30, Seconds be
