About this Mod

Headpat a Friend!

Attention!
Despite Modrinth classifying this as a plugin, it is primarily a Fabric mod!
The plugin download only exists to provide a bridge between clients on PaperMC servers.

Ever been in a situation where you wanted to take your arm,
put it on a little goober's head, and rub it back and forth in a sign of affection?
Well, now you can!
This mod lets you headpat other players by holding right-click on their head.
Cute critters of all shapes and sizes rejoice!

Setup

For this mod to function properly, it needs to be installed on both the client and server. A plugin version is available for Paper server owners.

When using the mod on a server that doesn't have it installed, you'll still be able to headpat,
but it won't be visible to other players, even if they do have the mod.

Joining a server that has this mod loaded without having it on your client is also fully supported. Players that do have it will see and be able to give headpats, while players that don't cannot.

Configuration

This mod can make use of Mod Menu
and YACL to let you modify its config ingame.
A few small tweaks can be made based on preference:

  • First-person sway strength
  • Petted players make purr sounds
