About

Description

Petting is a Minecraft mod that lets you tame virtually any mob in the game—from ordinary farm animals and woodland creatures to skeletons, creepers, wardens, and even the Ender Dragon.

Tamed pets aren't just decorative: they follow your lead, fight by your side according to customizable tactical collars, wear armor and weapons in their own inventory GUI, can be ridden across land, sky, and sea, and will resurrect at your bed if they ever take fatal damage.

What Petting Offers

🍖 Universal Taming

Tame mobs using Golden Treats. There are nine distinct treats crafted with gold and core ingredients (like Golden Wheat for animals, Golden Bone for skeletons and wolves, or Golden Star for bosses).

  • Weakening Rule: Peaceful animals can be tamed right away. Hostile monsters must first be weakened below 30% health.
  • Modded Mobs Work Automatically: Built-in fallback rules ensure that any modded creature can be tamed out of the box even without extra configuration.

📿 Tactical Collars (16 Colors)

Collars are crafted with leather, gold, and dye, and can be recolored on the fly. Equipping a collar unlocks the Collar Tab in your pet's menu:

  • 5 Combat Modes: Passive (never attacks), Defensive (protects you when struck), Aggressive (attacks what you hit and hunts monsters), Wander (stays near an anchor post), and Guard (patrols an area and eliminates hostile threats).
  • Tactical Toggles: Adjust follow distance, teleport threshold, ranged attack preference (forces pets to use bows), retaliation, and fellow pet defense.

🛡️ Pet Inventory GUI

Press Shift + Right-Click on any pet you own to open its personal inventory:

  • Armor & Equipment: Equip helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots, shields, or weapons on humanoids, and body armor on mounts.
  • Chest Storage: Attach chests to pack animals (donkeys, mules, llamas).
  • Dedicated Slots: Manage collars and saddles directly.

🏇 Universal Riding & Mounted Combat

Look at your pet and press R to mount:

  • Full Steering: Equip a saddle to steer. Land pets jump obstacles with boosted step-assist; flying pets ascend/descend with Jump and Sneak; aquatic pets swim smoothly and grant the rider Water Breathing.
  • Mounted Attacks: Left-click while riding to attack! Ridden dragons shoot fireballs, ghasts launch explosive fireballs, blazes fire small fireballs, withers launch skulls, and archers fire arrows.

🛏️ Collar Respawn

Never lose a beloved pet again. Right-click any bed or cushion with a collar in hand to bind it as a respawn anchor. If your pet dies while wearing that collar, its death is cancelled: it instantly resurrects back at your bed with full health and a few seconds of invulnerability.

🐉 The Golden Ender Dragon

You can't tame the wild Ender Dragon directly with treats. Instead, right-click a vanilla Dragon Egg with a Golden Star to create a Golden Dragon Egg, place it near the central End Exit Portal with 4 End Crystals, and summon your own tamed Golden Ender Dragon:

  • Features radiant green eyes.
  • Never destroys terrain or structures.
  • Circles above you, attacks enemies with fireballs and bites, and can be mounted for aerial travel.

🛡️ Complete Friendly Fire Safety

Tamed pets, their minions, and their projectiles can never damage their owner. Pets belonging to the same owner also cannot harm each other.

Getting Started in 3 Steps

  1. Craft a Treat: Combine gold nuggets around wheat for a Golden Wheat, or nuggets and ingots around a bone for a Golden Bone.
  2. Weaken (if Hostile): If taming a monster, fight it until its health bar is below 30%.
  3. Right-Click: Hold the treat in your main hand and right-click the mob. When hearts appear, it's yours!
    • Press Right-Click to make it sit or follow.
    • Press Shift + Right-Click to open its inventory.
    • Press R to ride it.
