About this project
What does Pet Names add?
Pet Names is a minimalistic configurable mod which gives tamable baby animals a pre-defined name. Wolves, cats, horses, donkeys, mules and llamas can be named, if enabled in the config.
The mod contains a list of 5000+ names, one of which is randomly chosen when a baby animal enters the world.
All available config options:
_useFemaleNames default true
_useMaleNames default true
nameWolves default true
nameCats default true
nameHorses default true
nameDonkeys default true
nameMules default true
nameLlamas default true
It's a lovely surprise to see what name nature has given the baby:
