Description
You can no longer hurt your own pets by accident.
That sword sweep that killed your wolf mid-fight. The arrow that hit your cat instead of the skeleton. The splash potion that caught your parrot. Pet Shield cancels all of it — your tamed animals are safe from you.
Features
- 🐺 Protects your tamed pets from their owner: melee hits (including sword sweep), projectiles (arrows, tridents) and harmful thrown potions
- 🐴 Covers all ownable animals: wolves, cats, parrots, horses, donkeys, mules, llamas — and modded animals that extend vanilla taming
- 🤫 Sneak to bypass: crouch while attacking to hit your pet on purpose (configurable)
- 🧍 Optional mode: protect pets from all players, not just the owner
- ⚙️ Full in-game config screen (Cloth Config) + entity blacklist
- 🖥️ Server-friendly: install it only on the server — vanilla clients can join normally. Ops can hot-reload the config with
/petshield reload(no restart)
Configuration
Singleplayer / clients: Mods → Pet Shield → Config (via ModMenu on Fabric). Every option applies instantly.
Dedicated servers: edit config/pet_shield.json, then run /petshield reload (op level 2). Options: protectFromMelee, protectFromProjectiles, protectFromPotions, allowSneakBypass, protectFromAllPlayers, entityBlacklist.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1 · NeoForge or Fabric
- Architectury API + Cloth Config (+ Fabric API on Fabric)
Packs hosted on Modrinth/CurseForge may include Pet Shield freely. Rehosting the jar elsewhere currently is not permitted.
