Pets+

Support Server – https://discord.gg/DRxwt8Qg2W

An advanced pet system for Hytale servers or SINGLEPLAYER with XP, leveling, combat, and configurable perks. Pets follow their owner, attack mobs when the owner punches them, and grant stat bonuses that scale with level. Players can obtain pets through admin commands or by finding pet eggs in mob drops.

You can use our Pets+ Drops mod to edit the drops easily!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

Pets+ gives players collectible pets that follow them, fight alongside them, and provide passive bonuses. Any entity in Hytale can be added as a pet, from standard animals like wolves and bears to large or custom entities such as dragons, all defined through configuration. When you punch a mob, your active pet targets and attacks it, gaining XP and eventually leveling up. Each pet type can have one or more perks (Health, Stamina, Mana, Defense, Damage, HealthRegen, StaminaRegen, ManaRegen, CriticalStrike, LifeSteal, FireImmunity, FallImmunity, Fortune, MiningSpeed, Speed, PickupMagnet) that scale with level, all configurable per pet in config.json.

Players can obtain pets in two ways: admins can grant them directly via commands/UI, or players can find pet eggs as drops from specific mobs (configured via loot tables). When a player obtains an egg, they simply hold it and right-click to charge it and redeem the pet, adding a level 1 pet to their collection.

Admins define pet types (any entity: Wolf, Bear_Polar, dragons, etc.), assign perks and rarities, control perk scaling, and configure which mobs drop pet eggs. Players manage pets via a custom UI: spawn/despawn, rename, view stats and perks, and transfer pets to other players (with an optional level reduction on transfer).

Adding Pet Eggs to Mob Drops

Admins can configure mobs to drop pet eggs by editing entity loot tables.

You can use our Pets+ Drops mod to edit the drops easily!

Manual Configuration

Each pet type automatically generates an egg item with ID: `Egg_PetsPlus_<PetType>`

Step 1: Locate the Entity's Loot Table

- Navigate to your server's assets directory

- Find the entity's loot table file in `Assets\Server\Drops\NPCs\`

Step 2: Add the Egg to Loot Entries

Example: Adding a Wolf egg to Wolf mob drops:

```json

{

"Container": {

"Type": "Multiple",

"Containers": [

{

"Type": "Choice",

"Weight": 100,

"Containers": [

{

"Type": "Single",

"Item": {

"ItemId": "Food_Wildmeat_Raw",

"QuantityMin": 1,

"QuantityMax": 1

}

]

{

"Type": "Choice",

"Weight": 50,

"Containers": [

{

"Type": "Single",

"Item": {

"ItemId": "Egg_PetsPlus_Wolf",

"QuantityMin": 1,

"QuantityMax": 1

}

]

}

]

}

```

Step 3: Configure Drop Rates

Drop chance is calculated as: `(Item Weight) / (Total Weight of All Items) × 100%`

Recommended weights:

- Common Pets: Weight 10-20 (10-20% chance)

- Uncommon Pets: Weight 5-10 (5-10% chance)

- Rare Pets: Weight 1-5 (1-5% chance)

- Very Rare Pets: Weight 1 (1% chance or less)

Step 4: Restart Server

- Loot table changes require a server restart

- Test by killing the mob and checking for egg drops

Step 5: Players Redeem Eggs

- Players hold the egg in their hand

- Right-click and hold to charge the egg

- The egg is consumed and a level 1 pet is added

Available Egg Items:

All egg items are automatically generated based on your `config.json` pet types:

- Format: `Egg_PetsPlus_<PetType>`

- Example: `Egg_PetsPlus_Wolf`, `Egg_PetsPlus_Bear_Polar`, `Egg_PetsPlus_Dragon`

- Location: `Server/Item/Items/Egg_PetsPlus_<PetType>.json`
