About this project
What does Not Enough Pets add?

Are you tired of the same domestic cat/dog/parrot types? Have you wanted to obtain an Ocelot as a pet? Did you want parrots in 1.11 or earlier? Are you annoyed at pet sounds?
Then this mod is for you!
Not Enough Pets features the following:
- When you tame any cat, it retains its skin rather than getting a random one
- Ocelots spawn in jungles, as usual. This means that tamed ocelots look like ocelots.
- Every other texture variation spawns in villages
- All of the JE 1.14 skins are backported and available, as well as multiple custom skins and the otherwise unused "gray tabby" skin
- JE 1.14 cat/ocelot sounds are implemented, as is one unused cat sound
- Parrots are backported from 1.12 to earlier versions
- There are multiple additional dog and parrot skins
- Tamed cats now have dye-able collars
- Swamp Huts spawn with a black cat
- Dog varieties spawn as village strays
- Wolf varieties are found in the wild
- There is a config setting to reduce the frequency of tamed cat/dog/parrot noises
- There are config settings to increase or decrease the buffer where a following cat/dog/parrot will teleport to you, and others to disable following of any sort
- There is a config setting to control how far you can fall before a parrot dismounts from your shoulder
- You can control what mob sounds the parrot mimics, and can include mob mods and sounds
- Ocelot-specific cats no longer avoid water, and non-Ocelot-type cats drop string on death
- Parrots do not leave your shoulders when you're riding on another entity (horse, mine cart, etc)
- Cat behavior, such as how to tame them and creeper avoidance, is unchanged
- Mooshrooms can sometimes spawn with a brown-mushroom texture
Summoning the breeds:
Note: starting at version 1.4.0, NEP now has spawn eggs!
However, these eggs don't control for animals' ages or owners.
You can summon in the pets you want with this command:
/summon [entity name] ~ ~ ~ {Owner:[owner's name], CatType:[integer of type], Age:[age integer]}
[entity name] depends on your Minecraft version:
- 1.11 or 1.12:
notenoughpets:ocelot_nep(orwolf_neporparrot_nep) - 1.7 to 1.10:
notenoughpets.Ocelot_NEP(orWolf_NEPorParrot_NEP) - 1.6.4: lol sux2bu
Check out the gallery for the different breeds of cat, dog, and parrot!
