Infernos Otter Taming
Minecraft 1.18.2–1.21.1 · NeoForge / Forge / Fabric · Requires Critters and Companions
Otters in Critters and Companions open clams and steal the show — but they were never meant to be pets. Infernos Otter Taming is a small compatibility mod that makes them proper river companions: tame them with fish, tell them to stay or follow, and get a few useful perks for exploring waterways.

Features
Tame with fish
- Feed any item in
#minecraft:fishes(raw cod, salmon, tropical fish, pufferfish, etc.). - About 1 in 3 chance per fish (hearts on success, smoke on fail).
- Clams are not used for taming (they stay for C&C's normal open/eat behaviour).
Stay / follow
- Empty-hand right-click (main hand) toggles stay ↔ follow.
- Works on land and in water.
- Owner-only; other players cannot order your otter.
Care
- Feed raw fish while the otter is hurt to heal.
- Friendly fire off — your attacks won't damage your own otter.
- Tamed otters are set to persist (won't despawn).
Useful companion perks
| Perk | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pearl forager | While following near water, about every 4 minutes the otter finds a clam or pearl. |
| Lucky clams | When a tamed otter opens a clam, pearl chance is ~55% (wild C&C is lower). |
| Swim buddy | If you're swimming within 12 blocks, you get short Dolphin's Grace pulses and a little air restore. |
Breeding / hand-feeding food at full health still uses Critters and Companions' own logic.
How to use
- Find (or spawn) an otter near rivers.
- Feed raw fish until hearts appear.
- Empty hand → right-click to switch between stay and follow.
- Explore rivers with your buddy; keep raw fish for healing.

FAQ
Does empty hand toggle work with items in the off-hand?
Toggle uses the main hand. Keep the main hand empty (or holding a non-food item).
Can I ride the otter?
No — this mod does not add riding.
Does it work in multiplayer?
Yes, if the mod is on the server and clients. Only the owner can sit/follow/heal.
