⬇ Download on ModrinthFive command modes, cycled with an empty-hand right-click:
Follow Close — sticks to your side (2–4 blocks) Follow Far — gives you space (8–12 blocks) Stay — holds position right where it is Guard Area — anchors to a spot and defends it Return Home — walks back to its saved home
Home system — sneak + right-click to set a pet's home. It's remembered across world reloads. Auto-fetch (dogs) — tamed dogs walk to nearby dropped items and deliver them straight to your inventory. Great for cleaning up after mining or mob farms. Guard mode — a guarding dog attacks hostile mobs that enter its radius, then returns to its post once the fight is over. Smart pathfinding and teleport — pets path to you intelligently and teleport to your side when they fall too far behind, so you never lose one. Fully configurable — every feature can be toggled, and all distances and radii tuned, in a simple JSON file.

The current mode is shown on your screen each time you switch. Note: it has to be your own tamed pet, and your hand must be empty. Holding an item performs the normal vanilla action instead.
