A mod that lets you pet other players! Unlike a lot of other similar mods, this one is completely client-side and synchronises your pets to other clients with the mod.
More specifically - if you have the mod installed, you'll be able to pet other players and see the heart particles emitted when someone is pet, and players without the mod will still see your arm swing!
If that's all you care about, version 1.0.0 is fine. It doesn't even require the Fabric API!
However, there are some optional extra features added in 1.1.0 (which requires Fabric API and YACL); namely being able to pet more than players, and an Event so other mods can do their own things when an entity is pet.
