24-APR-2018: Added Source link (goes to the GitHub repo). If anyone wants to take over this project, or use my code as a starting point for your own, be my guest!

This mod is discontinued. Sorry.

Adds a wider variety of pets to the game. Instead of finding animals in the wild, you must craft a Pet Summon for the pet you want and use it to create your pet. The AI of all pets is more or less the same as a tamed wolf.

Getting Started

To craft a Pet Summon, you will need eight Raw Pet Essence. You can get it by killing things. Anything! Zombies, cows, villagers, even mobs from other mods. Looting increases the drop rate. Craft the Pet Summon you want and name it in an anvil to give your pet a name, if you want to. Now just right-click to create your pet (it works just like a spawn egg). Different pets have a different amount of health, attack damage, and movement speed (these different values are a bit buggy right now, they should be fixed soon).

Right-click your pet to tell it to stay/follow you. Use any helmet on it to give it armor. The helmet gives a full suit of armor's worth of protection.

When your pet inevitably dies fighting that super tough boss or roasts itself in a fire, it has a chance of dropping a replacement Pet Summon.

If your pet gets hurt, but survives, it will regenerate its health slowly over time.

Notable Items

Pet Wand

The Pet Wand allows you to do a few different things with your pet. It has three modes right now.
- Armor - Right-click a pet to see what it's wearing. Shift right-click to remove its armor.
- Talk - Toggles the noises your pet makes on or off. Useful if the constant barking is driving you bananas.

- Carry - Allow you to "pick up" the pet as an item. Right-click to release (it's like a spawn egg).

Name Plate

Basically a reusable name tag, with one unique feature: it can be crafted with items to rename them! Just like name tags, you can also click on a mob to rename it, using one point of durability.

Pets

Cow - Good health, a bit slow. Can be milked, just like a regular cow.

Sheep - Well rounded. Can be sheared for wool.

Pig - Hits harder than other pets.

Chicken - Fragile and weak, but fast.

Mooshroom - Similar to cows. Can be milked for mushroom stew.

Cat - More or less like vanilla cats, except they can be armored like the other pets and will actually help you fight.

Dog - More or less like vanilla dogs, except they can be armored like the other pets.
