Persistent Parrots
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.
Persistent Parrots
Experience enhanced companionship with your feathered friends! Parrots will now stay more consistently perched on your shoulders, while the two of you explore the world! No longer will you have to decide between falling a single block or keeping your parrot!
✅ Features
- Parrots stay perched on your shoulder now!
- Sneak & Jump to make parrots hop off.
- Resistant to some splashing, they will only jump off when the player is fully submerged in water, rather than simply touching it.
- Not scared of all damage, so they will only scamper when their life depends on it (configured through
#persistent_parrots:drops_shoulder_entities) - Server-side, so that only the server needs the mod, not any clients
📖 Configuration
The type of damage that will make parrots drop of a player's shoulder can be configured through the #persistent_parrots:drops_shoulder_entities damage_type tag.
