Petting

Turn any mob into your loyal, protective companion.

GitHub · Wiki · Bug Reports · Discord

Petting is a Minecraft mod that lets you tame virtually any mob in the game — hostile or passive, ordinary or boss. Tamed pets follow your commands, defend you in combat, carry your items, ride alongside you, and respawn at a dedicated bed when they die. Every behavior is deeply configurable, making the mod suitable for survival, adventure maps, and modpacks alike.

Features at a Glance

• Tame almost any mob, including Withers, Ender Dragons, and Wardens
• Full riding support for land, flying, and swimming mobs
• Per-pet inventory with armor slots, hand slots, and 14 item storage slots
• Four AI modes: Following, Sitting, Waiting, Wandering
• Combat modes: Aggressive, Defensive, Guard
• Pet Bed block for infinite respawning — pets teleport to their bed on death, even across dimensions
• Per-pet control mapping system with custom actions and conditions
• Passive immunities: no fall damage, fire, or lava damage for tamed pets
• Global whistle via Goat Horn to instantly recall all pets
• Category system for grouping pets and enforcing per-group limits
• Full server and modpack configuration via petting-common.toml

Getting Started

Installation

1. Download the latest release from CurseForge or Modrinth.
2. Place the .jar file in your mods/ folder.
3. Launch the game. A default config file will be generated at config/petting-common.toml.

Taming

Taming is how you acquire a pet. By default, right-click a mob while holding Golden Wheat (petting:golden_wheat) to attempt taming it. The item is consumed on every attempt. Heart particles appear on success; smoke particles appear on failure. The taming item is fully configurable via tamingItem.

When tamed, all three combat modes — Aggressive, Guard, and Defensive — are enabled by default. The pet is also automatically named "[YourName]'s [mob type]" with the name tag hidden above their head.

Holding Golden Wheat in either hand (main or offhand) causes nearby untamed animals within 12 blocks to follow you.

Success Factors

Controls & Pet Management

Empty Hand (Default Mappings)

By default, the control system uses per-pet mappings. Fresh pets have these defaults:

These are fully remappable per-pet or globally via the Pet Settings Screen (press P while looking at a pet, or bind controls.petting.open_settings in Controls).

Pet Settings Screen (P Key)

Press P while targeting your pet to open the settings GUI. From here you can:

• Toggle AI modes: Sitting, Waiting, Aggressive, Guard, Self-Defense, Ignore Whistle
• Set exact follow and teleport distances
• Open the Control Mappings sub-screen to customize right-click and shift+right-click actions

Control Mapping System

Each pet (and player default) supports a chain of ordered rules for right-click and shift+right-click. Rules follow the format ACTION|CONDITION and are evaluated top-to-bottom; the first matching rule is executed.

Available Actions

Available Conditions

Multiple rules can be chained with ;, e.g. RIDE\|SADDLE;SIT\|NONE (mount if saddled, otherwise toggle sit).

Interaction Tools

All tool item IDs are configurable in the [Tool Settings] section of petting-common.toml.

Riding

Riding works across all movement types — land, flying, and swimming.

Flying and swimming mobs maintain their current altitude or depth when you stop moving. The pet's rotation is always synced with your view. Use the RIDE\|SADDLE control mapping to require a saddle before mounting.

AI Modes

Pets have four movement states:

Combat modes are independent of movement state:

Pet Inventory & Equipment

Open the pet inventory via the OPEN_INV control mapping action, or through the Pet Settings screen.

• Armor slots — equip helmets, chestplates, leggings, and boots
• Hand slots — equip swords or shields; pets physically hold and use them
• Storage — 14 item slots for carrying loot
• Equipment slots are auto-detected per mob type; extras can be forced via extraEquippableMobs
• Global stat bonuses are applied to all pets via petBaseArmor and petBaseArmorToughness

Pet Safety

Passive Immunities

All tamed pets are permanently immune to:

• Fall damage
• Fire and lava damage

Mutual Pacifism

Pets never attack other tamed pets, even from splash projectiles.

Sitting Regeneration

Pets regenerate health while in the Sitting state. Configurable via sitHealAmount and sitHealInterval.

Pet Beds

The Pet Bed block allows a pet to respawn indefinitely at a fixed location.

1. Right-click a placed Pet Bed to enter Binding Mode.
2. Right-click your pet to link it to the bed.
3. If the pet dies, the death is cancelled — the pet teleports to its bed, fully healed, and sits.

Beds work across dimensions. The dimension is stored at binding time so pets can respawn even if they die in the Nether or End. Right-click the air while in Binding Mode to cancel.

Boss Pets

The hideTamedBossBars config option can hide boss health bars for any tamed boss.

Entity Conversion

When a tamed mob converts to a new entity type (e.g. Zombie to Drowned), all pet data carries over automatically:

• Owner UUID
• Custom name
• AI modes and follow / teleport distances
• Saddle and equipped items
• Pet Bed binding (including the stored dimension)

Advanced Systems

Pet Categories

Group mobs into named categories with shared per-player limits. Useful for modpacks and servers.

Format: SlotID|DisplayName|MobList|DefaultLimit

Example: 1|Undead|minecraft:zombie,minecraft:skeleton|5

Slot IDs 1–20 correspond to the petting:max_pets_category_X player attributes.

Custom Attributes

Gear and perk mods can grant players additional pet capacity using these player attributes:

• petting:max_pets — increases the global pet limit
• petting:max_pets_category_1 through petting:max_pets_category_20 — increases limits per category

Admin & Map-Maker Tools

Commands

/pet <target_mob> <target_player>

Instantly tames a mob and assigns it to a player. Requires operator permissions.

Pre-Tamed Mobs via NBT

Spawn a mob that is already tamed using a /summon command:

/summon minecraft:zombie ~ ~ ~ {ForgeData: {pettingtamed: 1b, ownerUUID: "YOUR-UUID-HERE"}}

Mobs spawned this way will have their hostile AI disabled and be bound to the specified owner. The RUN_COMMAND mapping action also allows owner-gated command execution from pet interactions.

All settings are in config/petting-common.toml.
