About this Mod
A bunch of dogs lying down in the various poses available in this mod
About
Despite the name, this mod, in a literal sense, lets dogs that have been left sitting down too long, to actually lie down and get some rest.After having sat for a configurable amount of time, without their owners close by, they will lie down to rest in a random position, and will excitedly jump back to sitting position once their owner gets close to them once more!
This mod is client-side only. As this mod overrides the vanilla Wolf model and is purely cosmetic, it is unlikely compatible with mods that overhaul wolves/dogs such as Doggy Talents.

Does Let Sleeping Dogs Lie need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Let Sleeping Dogs Lie as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Let Sleeping Dogs Lie require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.5, 1.21.4, 1.21.3. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
