The Inventory Pets mod adds several new pets to Minecraft, which aid the player in various ways. These new pets are living creatures that remain in your inventory and provide bonuses while you’re carrying them. These could be special effects, just as if you’d used a potion, additional item drops from slain monsters, or even enhanced weapons that you would typically never be able to craft using an enchanting table. You have to pay a little attention to these pets and ensure they’re well-fed, and the mod will take care of the rest.
A recent Inventory Pets update shows that the mod now carries 52 pets, each with unique graphics and abilities. Many of these pets, like creepers, cows, and wolves, all look more or less like their regular in-game versions, just shrunk to a tiny size. Some pets, like a purple metal ingot or a wooden chest, don’t seem to make sense. However, when you consider the special buffs and bonuses the pets provide.
Features
Inventory Pets can be acquired in two different ways:
All pets, except for Legendary, are craftable using vanilla Minecraft materials. Material requirements are higher for rarer and more powerful pets.
Pets can be found in four special places in the Overworld: Sea Caves, Cloud Dungeons, Treetops, and underground Dungeons.
The Feed Bag
Keep all your pet foods in one bag, and keep the bag ANYWHERE in your (vanilla) inventory. Your pets will find their food and eat from it.
Pet Namer
Just press ‘N‘ while holding any pet, and you can give it a name. No experience necessary!
