About this Mod
Shared Pets
Share your tamed wolves and cats with other players!
Shared Pets lets multiple players co-own tamed animals on a
server.
Assign co-owners, configure follow modes, and transfer full
ownership —
all through an in-game GUI, without any commands.
✨ Features
👥 Co-ownership
- Craft a Shared Collar and right-click your tamed wolf or
cat to open
the management GUI - Invite up to 5 co-owners per pet — they receive a
clickable
chat message to [Accept] or [Decline] - Co-owners can sit / stand the pet just like the owner
- Invitations expire automatically after 60 seconds
🔁 Ownership Transfer
- Transfer full ownership to another online player
- The target must [Accept] or [Decline] via chat
- On acceptance: the new owner takes over and the co-owner
list is reset
🐺 Wolf Follow Modes (configurable per wolf)
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Owner | Follows the main owner (falls back to a co-owner if owner is offline) |
| Co-Owner | Follows a specific co-owner you select |
| Auto | Follows the nearest owner or co-owner |
Wolves also defend all owners and co-owners and assist
when any of
them attacks — owners and co-owners can never be targeted by
their own wolf.
🐱 Cat Support
- Co-owners can sit / stand cats
- Cats follow co-owners when the main owner is offline
🌐 Multiplayer-friendly
- Everything works when the main owner is offline
- Data is saved via NBT directly on the entity — no extra
files needed - Fully synced between server and clients
📖 How to Use
- Craft a Shared Collar (2 Leather + 4 Gold Ingots)
- Right-click your tamed wolf or cat while holding the
collar - Use the GUI to:
- Invite co-owners (they get a clickable chat notification)
- Configure wolf follow mode
- Transfer ownership

Shared Pets server crashes on startup – what to do?

Shared Pets officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Shared Pets – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Shared Pets consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
