Description

Adds unique useful pets to your game. Intended to contribute to survival gameplay as much as possible with features like leveling, advancements, and even 2 bossfights

Java port!

There is a Java port of this addon called Practical Pets for 1.20.1 Forge. It's still not finished but it has a decent amount of things ported. Link: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/practical-pets

In-game wiki of the add-on (recommended)

Feel free to skip to downloads, you don't really need to read anything in this page. The first time you join you'll get an info book where you can learn everything. The info book is also way better written than this page.

Pet Teleportation 

You can use the command /preparetp or /billey:preparetp to make your following pets come with you when you teleport the next time you teleport within a minute of executing the command.

You can also force following pets to teleport to you by double-sneaking.

Pet Equipment

This add-on adds several things you can put on your pets, including chef hats(allow rats, netherrats and penguins to cook, but can also be put on any pet for aesthetic purposes), the rat king's crown (see Rat King for its function), and the rubber ducky hat (see Duck for its function).

This add-on also adds pet bowties. Pets will get a bowtie for free on tame. To take it off, craft a bowtie and attempt to put it on the pet that's already wearing one.

Suggestions for more pet equipment are more than welcome. Current plans include a pop tart for cats, fire car things for yutyrannuses and duckatrices, and a maid outfit for rats.

Leveling

Some mobs can now be leveled up. Leveling is basically the mob becoming better at its uses the more it's used. Leveling also increases the health and attack damage, speed and reach of the mob. All levelable mobs spawn in level 1 and can get up to level 10. Read each levelable mob's info for more.

You can view a mob's leveling progress by using leather on it.

Current levelable mobs:

  1. Ducks
  2. Banana ducks
  3. Deinonychuses
  4. Yutyrannuses
  5. Slime wyverns
  6. Tiktaaliks
  7. Duckatrices
  8. Giraffe cats

More mobs will become levelable soon.

Pet List - New!

You can now see all* of your individual pets in the Your Pets section in the info book.

There you can select a pet to view its health, level, location and more. You can also teleport it to you, and, if you are an operator teleport yourself to it.

You can also do this by punching a pet of yours while sneaking. Useful for checking pets' XP while leveling them.

*: Pets obtained before update 5.2 must have been loaded at least once since installing it or a greater version for them to be listed in it.

Mercat

🟡 General

Mercats spawn in lakes and rivers that aren't frozen, and are tamed with raw piranha or sea pizza.
They can't breathe underwater and will have to come up to breathe air, can survive indefinitely without water,
and can only be made to sit while on land — though like every mob in the add-on, you can use a stick to make them walk/swim around instead of following you.

🌦️ Changing the Weather

If you use a nautilus shell on a tamed mercat, it'll change the weather.
It'll turn clear weather to a thunderstorm, and thunderstorms or rain to clear weather.

If in multiplayer, for this to work you need at least half of all online players to be next to a mercat that is currently changing the weather.
This can be achieved by either making the players each use a nautilus shell on their mercat,
or by having the players gather around one player's mercat.

💤 Sleeping Loot

You can sleep with a mercat by having one near you (not sitting) before you sleep.
When you wake up, the mercat will bring you a random sea-related item.

🐟 Other

They also obliterate groups of small fish, including piranhas, after being tamed.
By the way, fermented mercat milk will probably be used to craft mercat cheese in the future.

Skeleton Cat

Same as the Zombie Cat but it's tameable with nether wart and brings you random Nether items when you wake up. It's also neutral to players but sometimes an aggressive skeleton cat spawns in instead which attacks players and normal cats. Dyeable. billey:skeleton_cat

Duck

- General
Ducks spawn in lakes and rivers and are tamed with any kind of seeds, carrots, melon, or bread.

- Finding Items
After being tamed, if they're not sitting, they'll find random items in grass and water, mostly seeds, fishing loot, and rarely ore nuggets (including diamond nuggets).

- Duck Armor
You can also craft armor for them. Ducks equipped with armor will defend their owner, and to take off the armor, use dirt. End rod duck armor makes the duck shoot end rods at its target that inflict weakness.

- Rubber Ducky Pet Hat
The Rubber Ducky pet hat is an item rarely found by ducks in water. It can be equipped on any pet from this add-on and makes it more likely to "combo" (hit its target without getting hurt back). It also enables pets that don't usually fight for you to fight for you anyway, just like any piece of pet equipment that makes the pet stronger does (currently just this and the rat crown).

- Leveling
Ducks can be leveled up. To level up ducks, you have to make them kill mobs (by equipping the duck with armor and then attacking mobs). When a duck levels up, its health, attack damage, speed, and reach increase. Leveled ducks will also find items in grass and water more often, and from level 5 and onwards, the items they find will also start becoming better.

Mobs that level up by killing things progress through leveling more by hitting mobs than by just killing, which means that to level up your mob faster, make it kill mobs with lots of health. The default level is 1 and the max is 10.

Banana Duck

- General
Banana ducks spawn in beaches, deserts, and basically anywhere where there's sand. They are tamed with bread.

- Bananas
After being tamed, you can feed them an apple to get a "desert banana". Desert bananas give you random amplifier II beneficial effects and can be fed to any tamed mob in the add-on. Eating a desert banana also gives you a banana peel, which can be placed down and when something steps on it, it'll lose 12 HP (6 hearts) and get slowness and nausea for a few seconds. This means 2 banana peels are enough to kill most monsters and even players not wearing armor.

Banana peels don’t affect players and tamed mobs by default, but you can craft ones that affect players using a single regular one.

- Duck Armor
You can also craft armor for banana ducks. Banana ducks equipped with armor will defend their owner, and to take off the armor use dirt. End rod duck armor makes the banana duck shoot end rods at its target that inflict weakness.

- Leveling
Banana ducks can be leveled up. Aside from their health and attack damage increasing, leveled banana ducks will also become able to turn more items into sand bananas instead of just apples.

The default level is 1 and the max is 10.

- How to Level
To level up banana ducks, you have to make them kill mobs (by equipping the banana duck with armor and then attacking mobs). Mobs that level up by killing things progress through leveling more by hitting mobs than by just killing, which means that to level up your mob faster, make it kill mobs with lots of health.

Banana ducks also level up by making bananas, but the amount of XP this gives decreases every level.

- Other
There are also secret variants of banana ducks. Try breeding them in strange places or doing something with the other birds in the add-on.

Pygmy Dunkleosteus

- General
Pygmy dunkleosteuses (or pygmy dunks for short) spawn in underground lakes and underwater caves. They are tamed by letting them kill a tamed pizzafish of yours or (mostly useful in creative mode) by feeding them power bananas.

Pygmy dunks can be bred and healed with sea pizza, and untamed ones can be retamed with sea pizza after using the untaming stick. Tamed pygmy dunks also defend their owner. You can also put pygmy dunks in a bucket.

- Breeding to Get Patterns
You can get pygmy dunks with patterns by breeding two of different colors. Most of the patterns resemble koi fish.

- Reinforcing Armor and Elytra
You can get pygmy dunk scutes by brushing a tamed pygmy dunk. You can reinforce an armor piece by holding pygmy dunk scutes and long tapping/right-clicking.

Reinforced armor protects you more than regular armor, but the reinforcement will only last for 100 hits before reverting to regular armor.

Items that can be reinforced:

While the exact protection amount is unclear, reinforced iron armor appears to be as strong as diamond.

- Leveling
Pygmy dunks can level up by killing mobs. When they level up, their health and attack damage increase. Mobs that level up by killing progress faster by hitting mobs with more health rather than just killing them.

Leveling pygmy dunks currently doesn’t unlock extra functionality, but future updates may introduce perks like better scutes.

Rat King - Boss - New!

- General
The Rat King is a boss that can be obtained from rats. It looks like 5 rats, 2 netherrats, and a fat crowned rat, all tied together at the ends of their tails.

⚠️ Beware: This fight is much harder than the Duck Centipede.

It drops 2 items on death:

Both can be equipped on rats to make them more useful.


- Summoning
To summon a Rat King, you must:

  1. Tame 5 rats and 2 netherrats, all of different variants.
  2. Make them sit close to each other.
  3. Sacrifice them by getting them struck by lightning.

💡 Recommended method:

Once struck, the rats will disappear, and the Rat King will be summoned.


- Spoiler-Free Tips
⚠️ Do not summon a Rat King inside your house — it will kill most of your pets.

💪 Bring a strong pet (Yutyrannus of any level or any level 10 pet) to the battle. However, your participation will still occasionally be needed.

🗡️ Bring a variety of weapons to adapt to different stages of the fight.


- Rat Crown
The Rat Crown can be equipped on any pet to make it:

Additionally, summoned rats can steal mobs' equipment and randomly enchant it, just like normal rats.


- Rat Royal Chef Hat & Rat Potion
The Rat Royal Chef Hat can be equipped on rats and netherrats to make them brew rat potions.

To brew a rat potion:

The rat potion can be thrown to temporarily turn mobs into useless rats, which is especially useful against monsters (like creepers).

⚠️ Note:


- Advanced Tips for the Rat King Battle
🔥 Attack the chefs while they’re cooking to stop them from making dangerous potions.

Some potions can:

Duckatrice - Boss - New!

- General
The Duckatrice Boss is a big, flying, scary-looking duck that you need to kill to obtain "Duckatrice Amber". This item allows you to turn a level 10 duck into your own pet Duckatrice, which can fly and is rideable.


- Summoning
To summon a Duckatrice:

  1. Get a duck to sit next to some frogspawn (frog eggs).
  2. Feed the duck an ominous potion (the potion dropped by illager captains).

The frogspawn will transform into a Duckatrice Boss Egg.

💡 To summon the boss:

⚠️ Important Notes:


- Stare Damage
⚡ If you stare at the Duckatrice Boss while it’s angry at you, you’ll start taking damage.


- Phases
The Duckatrice Boss has 3 phases based on its remaining health:

  1. Phase 1:

    • Chooses to fly or walk depending on whether it can reach you.
  2. Phase 2:

    • Only flies, making the battle aerial.
    • Summons hostile duck minions to assist in battle.
  3. Phase 3:

    • Mostly walks, becoming more aggressive.
    • Continues to summon hostile duck minions.

Duckatrice (Pet) - New!

- General
Duckatrices are big, flying ducks that do not spawn naturally. To get a Duckatrice, you must kill the Duckatrice Boss and use the "Duckatrice Amber" it drops on a level 10 duck of yours.

The Duckatrice's main use is being a flying ride. Duckatrices are always tamed and can be healed with anything ducks (like seeds, carrots, etc.) or yutyrannuses (meat) can eat.

📖 Read the Duckatrice Boss's info book entry for how to summon it.


- Obtaining
To obtain a Duckatrice:

  1. Summon and defeat the Duckatrice Boss to get Duckatrice Amber.
  2. Use the Duckatrice Amber on a level 10 duck to transform it into your own pet Duckatrice.

💡 Important Notes:


- Riding
To ride your Duckatrice:

  1. Equip it with a saddle.
  2. Right-click, long tap, or press the "Ride" button to mount it.
  3. To remove the saddle, try placing another saddle while it’s already equipped.

🚀 Flying Controls:


- Boosting
While riding your Duckatrice, you can boost its speed by feeding it sweet items from this add-on (desert bananas, poultry oranges, penguin ice cream, etc.) or rat beer/warped wine.

🍬 Boost Details:


- Duckatrice’s Stare Effect
If you pet your Duckatrice (sneak + right-click/long tap with an empty hand), you’ll:

Giraffe Cat - New!

- General Giraffe cats spawn in savannas and can be tamed with raw or cooked fish, chicken, hamster, or with leaves.

- Throwing Pets When a tamed giraffe cat has a target and there’s a nearby tamed pet belonging to the same owner, it will pick up and yeet the other pet at the enemy. If the thrown pet hits the target, it will:

🐾 Note: Pets that are sitting will not be yeeted.

- Living Ladder If you use a ladder on a giraffe cat, it will extend its neck and let you use it as a ladder. You can:

📏 Max ladder height: 64 blocks

After you climb above your giraffe cat, it will teleport to you and return to normal, even if it was sitting. 💡 If you don’t want it to teleport, either:

- Digging Up Mobs If the giraffe cat is standing on grass or dirt and is fed a giraffe cat treat, it will:

📦 Other add-ons can add diggable mobs. 📁 See line 428 in scripts/billeys_mobs/giraffe_cat.js in the behavior pack if you’re an add-on creator.

- Crossbreeding with Cats If you breed a giraffe cat with a regular cat, the result will be:

- Leveling Giraffe cats can level up by killing mobs, either directly or by throwing pets. When they level up, their:

Commands

/kill @e[tag=!tamed]

Changes to existing mobs

Cats have 5 new variants, spawn at jungles but still also spawn at villages. Raise and move their tail when you hold food, have a new walking animation and can be equipped with the bird hat.

Parrots can now have the colorful potion and the bird hat put on them and be fed sand bananas, also you can now heal them with seeds(preferably not the wheat ones) and they can no longer be killed using cookies.

See "Taming the fish" below

Other features

Putting the fish in a bucket

Every fish in the addon can be put in a bucket, even though the bucket might look like it has a cod in it after you put the fish

Taming the fish

If you want an aquarium with multiple types of fish and don't want them to eat each other then tame them. Most of the fish from this add-on and vanilla fish are tamed using sea pizza which is dropped by pizzafish, with the exception of pizzafish which are tamed with rotten flesh, vanilla fish and catfish which can also be tamed with seeds or carrots, and betta fish and electric eels which are either tamed with spider eyes or sea pizza. You can also heal fish with the item used to tame them and leash them after taming them.

Following

You can now make tamed fish(including orcas and mergeese) follow you by right clicking/long tapping them, right click them again to make them stop following you, though if you get out of water they'll teleport to you and then they might suffocate

Pet Health

Some of the pets will shiver and stop quacking when damaged and all of them will produce green particles when fully healed

Petting the Mobs

You can pet any mob in the addon, vanilla cats, parrots, cod, salmon and tropical fish after taming it by sneaking and then pressing the button you press to shear sheep. Petting a mob has a chance to give it positive effects without particles, regeneration is very rare. The cats purr and make animations when pet.

Tamed Mob Wandering

Right click/long tap on a tamed mob from the addon that can fly or walk or a vanilla cat or parrot with a stick to make it walk around instead of following you, do it again for it to follow you again. Only the owner of the mob can do it and it does not work on snails for some reason, though they never teleported to their owner so it shouldn't be much of a problem

Tamed Mobs Avoiding Explosions

All tamed mobs added or modified by the addon fear mobs that are currently exploding, and will even stand up from their sitting position to get away from the exploding mob and then sit again if the explosion didn't damage them. Though it's not guaranteed that this will work and the mob might not move at all or run towards the wall or near the exploding mob

Giving pets away

Realms

In order to use this or most addons on realms, (if you haven't done this already of course) download the realm's world, turn on Beta APIS, and then upload the world to your realm and of course add the the addon afterwards. Note that turning on experimental toggles on already made worlds has caused random chunks to disappear in the past so either create a new world or use the realm's back ups if something goes wrong

Compatibility/troubleshooting(?)

This addon modifies the model, animation, behavior, client entity file and render controller of vanilla cats and fish, so make sure to put it above(in the resource pack and behavior pack world settings) anything that modifies these because their reason for modifying these files is probably less important, eg. JujuStyle7's New Mutant Creatures modifies the cat behavior just to make it run away from mutant creepers and several bug fix and java parity packs modify the cat model for probably nothing noticeable, probably tail z fighting which this addon also fixes

tld;dr: just put both packs above anything that does any sort of modification to vanilla cats and fish common examples include: JujuStyle7's New Mutant Creatures, Java Parity and Bug Fix Packs, and add-ons that do something to every single mob like the advancement add-on, not putting this above such packs will cause these:

Also this add-on doesn't modify player.json in case you were wondering
