Where it goes
Is toNekoMod required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does toNekoMod 1.9.6 need?
1.9.6. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Geckolib, Forgified Fabric API, playerAnimator first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

Tips
If you find that some text isn't in your language, you can change the language setting through the Mod Menu config screen in-game~
How to Become a Neko
If you want to become a neko, it's very simple. Just craft a Neko Collector and get close to cats. When the energy is full, a Neko Potion will drop. Just drink it, meow~
If you want to become the owner of another neko (yes, you can be one yourself too), just run /toneko player <player name>. The prerequisite is that the other player must already be a neko (Tips: a neko can have multiple owners)
Keybinds
Some toNeko features can be used with keybinds. The defaults are:
K: Ride nearby creatures (same as/neko ride)I: Lie down (literally)O: Get down (also literally)J: Open the quirks settings screen
These keybinds all have corresponding commands (I'll never tell you that they just call the commands directly)
Neko NPCs
toNeko adds neko entities so there's stuff to do in single-player mode. You can encounter them in the wild, or just spawn them directly~
Shift+right-click a neko to open the interaction menu. Different nekos may have slightly different menus. The effective range is 16 blocks — if you walk too far away, the buttons won't work~
Each neko spawns with a different skin. There aren't many built-in skins yet, but you can add new ones through resource packs. As for how, I'll write a dedicated guide once the skin system is more complete, so stay tuned~ ^_^~
Nekos come in different variants, including Adventurer Neko, Ghost Neko, Crystal Neko, Fighting Neko, and more, each spawning in different biomes. If you want to add yourself as one, just tell me and I'll try my best to do it! There's also a special variant — the Crystal Neko — that only spawns on toNeko's birthday (September 26th)~
There's also a powerful Mouflet Boss waiting for you to challenge! It steals your items, flies around while attacking — it's not easy to deal with!
Accessories
toNeko adds several accessories (neko ears, tail, paws, etc.) that you can find in the creative inventory. Of course, they're all craftable. Accessories can be worn directly in armor slots, and if you have trinkets installed, they can go in accessory slots too~
