Quick answer
Which Cats release matches 1.21.2-rc.2?
Cats 4.0.1 targets 1.21.0, 1.21.1-rc.1, 1.21.1-rc.2. It must be installed on the client. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Cats required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
This release supports both sides, but the source does not require it on the server.
What else does Cats 4.0.1 need?
4.0.1 on 1.21.2-rc.2. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Pet AI first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
Before you install it
Add Cats without breaking your instance.

Summary

Mod Showcase by NiclAss.
French translation by Cendar.
Compatibility:
- Primitive Survival (cats can be fed raw fish fillets)
Small mod that introduces cats as tameable pets. The credit vor the catmodel belongs completely to Kerrech, as I merely adopted it and made some small modifications. I added a small in game guide on how to tame a wild cat.
Once tamed, it should prove useful against lower tier drifters.
FAQ
- Is this mod compatible with game version X?
- Most likely yes. If only the last number in the vanilla version (1.20.X) differs from whats listed here, there is a 95% chance that the mod will still work.
- How do I interact with cats?
- Try enabling block-interaction-help in the vanilla settings. If this does not help:
- Open up a new creative world.
- Spawn a cat.
- Get yourself the magic golden bone under the special tab.
- Right click the cat and enjoy.
- If any of these steps fail, the mod is most likely not installed properly. Make sure to have the correct version of PetAI installed and see here for other tips.
- Try enabling block-interaction-help in the vanilla settings. If this does not help:
- I found a bug, how do I make you fix it?
- To be able to fix your bug, I need to be able to recreate it on my end.
- Please create a short step by step guide on how you got to bug, please also describe what you expected to happen. (e.g. create a new world -> spawn house cat -> feed it egg -> game crashes)
- You can also provide screenshots if you think they can help visualize what went wrong.
- Also please answer the following questions:
- What game version are you playing?
- What mod version do you have installed?
- What other mods do you have installed?
- Are you in a Singleplayer world or do you play on a server with friends?
