Better Pets Data Pack
Better Pets adds a whole new layer of companionship to Minecraft. You get custom pets, each with their own abilities and perks. Some hunt with you. Some gather resources. Some just look cool. Either way, they beat vanilla animals when it comes to actually helping you survive and thrive.
What You Get
- Custom pets you can find in buried treasure chests
- Pets that follow and stick with you once activated
- Special perks and abilities for combat, gathering, and exploring (varies by pet)
- Full multiplayer support
- Works with other mods and data packs
Important Setup Notes
You need command permission to install this data pack. In single-player, that just means enabling commands. In multiplayer, the server op needs to run the install command. Once installed, do a /reload and hit the install button in chat. One heads up: pets only spawn in newly generated buried treasure chests, not ones that already existed before you installed the pack.
