IndyPets - Independent Pets
Free your pets from the curse of having to sit down, let 'em roam! 🐱🦜🐺
Independent pets won't follow or teleport to you but roam around, doing their own thing! Right Click to cycle between sitting, following, and independent. Shift + Right Click to toggle following and independent directly. Whistle/Unwhistle (J) to toggle all your nearby pets - rally your army!
Pets have a home where they won't stray too far off. "Home" is where they were last set independent.
Goat Horns can be configured as a whistle as well! Each horn can be set individually with different settings: Whistle only, Unwhistle only, Toggle (which alternates between whistling and unwhistling) and Whistle / Sneak Unwhistle (which whistles while standing and unwhistles while sneaking).
The mod _can_ work completely server-only. Vanilla clients can use /indypets whistle and unwhistle commands and /indypets config get to view and set change some basic settings and help get descriptions. The /indypets horn <horn_type> <setting> command allows to configure each Goat Horn as a whistle. /indypets horn by itself prints all current horn settings. It is recommended to install the mod client-side too for whistle and interact hotkeys, whistle sound effects, translated status messages and more config options.
In case (Shift +) Right Click conflicts with other mods or modded pets, try IndyPets' Interact hotkey (H) or one of the many compatibility options in the config.
- for Fabric Minecraft 1.16 and above
