About this Mod
Protect My Pets!
This mod adds a new item, the Golden Tag.
This item can be applied to a pet to give them this tag, and they will turn invincible as long as the tag has durability.
Configuration
Located at the corresponding location for each loader:
NeoForge: config/Protect My Pets/protect-my-pets_config.toml
Forge: world/serverconfig/Protect My Pets/protect-my-pets_config.toml,
This config file allows you to customize a couple things.
You can customize:
- What entities the tag can be applied to
- The durability of the tag
How does it work?
When wearing the tag, your pets do not get hurt. Instead, all the damage is directed to the tag's durability. Once it reaches zero, the tag breaks, and you have to make another. Tags cannot be repaired, but they can be taken off by pressing Shift and Right click on your pet while holding shears.
If you press Shift and Right click on your pet with nothing on your hand, you'll be able to see the pet's tag's durability.
The Golden Tag can be crafted like this:
