I don't know my version or loader
A mod that fixes Minecraft's huge issue of not being able to pet animals. It allows you to pet most passive mobs, as well as some others.
How to pet: Press Y (or your preferred petting button) to pet. Petting your own tamed mob, such as a wolf, cat, or parrot, heals both you and the mob.
All vanilla pettable mobs (a little outdated):
Configuration:
"Heal when petting a tamed mob" (defaults to true) - Set whether to heal you and your pet when petting it.
"Allow petting players" (defaults to true) - Set whether you can pet other players
"Petting cooldown (ticks)" (defaults to 30) - Set the cooldown in ticks for petting something. The default cooldown of 30 ticks corresponds to 1.5 seconds.
Entity tags:
There are three tags that you can use to change the mobs that are available to pet:
not_pettable (default is empty) - Entities that can never be pet
not_pettable_adult (default contains polar bears and hoglins) - Entities that can only be pet as babies
pettable_anyway (default is empty) - Entities that can be pet even though they normally are not pettable. Overwritten by not_pettable.
