How do I install Safe Pets?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Safe Pets work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

🛡️ Safe Pets

Never accidentally hurt your furry friends again!

We've all been there. You're fighting a zombie in a dark cave, your loyal dog jumps in to help, and bam... your sword sweeps and hits your own pet. The guilt is unbearable.

Safe Pets is a simple, lightweight Quality of Life (QoL) mod that completely disables "friendly fire" for your tamed animals. If you are the owner of the pet, your attacks will simply be canceled without dealing any damage to them.

Features:

Protects all your tamed and owned animals from your own attacks, including:

Wolves (Dogs)
Cats
Parrots
Horses, Donkeys, and Mules
Llamas

⚠️ Important Notes:

Only protects against YOU: This mod only stops the owner from hurting their pets. Monsters, lava, fall damage, and other players can still hurt them. Keep them safe!

Cross-platform: Built with Architectury API.

Available for both Forge and Fabric.

Multiplayer: If you are playing on a server, this mod needs to be installed on the server for the damage cancellation to work.

Feel free to use this mod in your modpacks!
