Описание
Collect and raise baby animal companions that follow you around and give scaling stat bonuses. 22 pets across 5 rarity tiers, egg hatching via a custom Pet Incubator, time-based leveling, a mood system, pet storage, and a full advancement tree — start with a single command /pets.
How it works
Get a pet egg — either from any vanilla structure chest loot, or via /pets give as an admin. Craft a Pet Incubator and right-click it with the egg to start incubation. After 20 minutes, your egg hatches into a random pet of that rarity.
Open your collection with /pets, click a pet to select it, and it'll spawn at your side. Feed it, pet it, level it up — its stat bonus scales with level up to level 10.
Features
Pets and rarities
-
22 pet types across 5 rarity tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary
-
Every stat-boosting pet provides a unique player attribute bonus that scales linearly with level
-
Storage pets (Horse, Donkey, Mule, Llama, Camel, Trader Llama) unlock inventory slots that scale with level instead
-
Combined abilities: configure multiple player attributes and potion effects on one pet through
player_attributesandeffectsinpets.yml.
Pet leveling
- Time-based XP — pets gain XP passively while active, every 60 seconds
- Scaling XP curve up to level 10
- Attribute bonuses and storage slots increase every level
Mood and care
- 5 mood states: Ecstatic → Happy → Content → Hungry → Sad
- Mood drifts down over time; recover it by feeding or petting
- Food type depends on the pet's movement category (ground / flying / water)
Egg and incubation system
- Custom craftable Pet Incubator block
- Loot injection into vanilla structure chests (togglable, per-rarity thresholds configurable)
Pet storage
-
Storage pets open a personal inventory GUI that scales slot count with pet level
-
Separate storage groups: horse-tier (5 slots), llama (9), camel (14), trader llama (18)
-
Custom storage growth: configure
storage_baseandstorage_per_level; legacystorage_sizeremains supported. Pets in the same storage group share their inventory.
GUIs
- Pet Collection: all owned pets with their level, rarity, mood, and stat info
- Pet Detail: per-pet stats, rename via name tag, delete
- Pet Settings: per-player toggles (follow/stay, hide others' pets, sounds, notifications)
- Pet Storage: inventory GUI for storage-ability pets
Advancement tree
- 12 advancements tracking the full progression arc — from first incubation to legendary hatch to completing the full collection
Everything else
-
Follow and Stay modes
-
Cross-dimension teleport when the player switches worlds
-
Respawn on join — active pet re-appears when the player logs back in
-
Hover name displayed above the pet entity
-
Idle emote sounds
-
Per-player toggles: hide other players' pets, pet sounds, chat notifications
-
Rename pets with a name tag in-hand while right-clicking
-
SQLite-backed persistence
-
Player languages: players can choose from the translations loaded by the server.
-
Optional Fish Rework integration: pet eggs can also appear in Fish Rework treasure chests.
Nearly everything is tunable in the YAML configs

# Better Baby Pets 1.3.0
- Fixed waiting pets being summoned to their owner when their chunk unloads, leaving frozen duplicates behind. Stay mode now also survives the owner changing dimensions.
- Fixed repeated pet spawning while an owner remains on the death screen. Delayed respawns now use the current pet selection and avoid duplicate jobs.
- Prevented runtime pet mobs from being saved into chunks and added cleanup for legacy duplicate pets when their chunks load.
- Fixed storage pets intercepting headpats: click the head to pet them, or the body with an empty hand to open storage.
- Protected incubators from explosion damage, piston movement, and redstone activation.
- Improved multi-attribute compatibility with legacy names and named YAML maps; duplicate entries now combine, and all applied attributes are tracked for cleanup.
- Enabled `/pets give <player> <rarity>` from console and prevented eggs disappearing when the recipient's inventory is full.

✨ **New Features**
**Multi-Attribute Pets** — Pets can now provide multiple stat bonuses at once. Define stacked bonuses using the new `player_attributes` list format in your config, supporting any combination of attributes like Max Health, Attack Damage, Gravity, and more.
**Dynamic Storage Scaling** — Storage pets now support per-level slot scaling. Use the new `storage_base` and `storage_per_level` config options to define how many slots unlock as the pet levels up, replacing the old static `storage_size`.
**Minecraft 26.2 Support** — The plugin now officially targets and builds against Minecraft `26.2.build.56-alpha`, keeping it up to date with the latest Paper API.
***
🔧 **Changes & Improvements**
**Pet Info Display Overhaul** — The `/pets info` command and Pet Detail GUI now properly show all stat bonuses for multi-attribute pets, including per-level growth and max-level previews — one line per attribute.
**Smarter Storage GUI** — Storage bag size is now correctly calculated based on max level scaling instead of a fixed value, so the inventory size always reflects actual max capacity.
**Potion Effect Optimization** — Potion bonuses are now skipped if the player already has the correct effect active with sufficient duration, reducing unnecessary reapplication.
**Better Command Tab Completion** — `/pets givepet` and `/pets addpet` now also suggest online player names in tab completion, both for players and console.
**Config Backward Compatibility** — Old `storage_size` configs are still supported automatically via fallback, so no migration is needed for existing setups.
***
🐛 **Bug Fixes**
**Attribute Application Fix** — Fixed an issue where switching pets could leave stale attribute modifiers on the player. Each attribute is now cleaned up individually before reapplication.
**Storage Slot Layout Fix** — The storage inventory slot layout now dynamically centers any number of slots (up to 18), instead of only supporting a fixed set of hardcoded sizes.
**Pet Collection GUI Fix** — Stat display in the Pet Collection GUI no longer cuts off when a pet has both attribute bonuses and potion effects — both are now shown.

## Plugin Localization Guide
To fully translate this plugin into a new language (for example, Chinese `zh` or Spanish `es`), follow this step-by-step guide.
### Step 1: Set the Locale in Config
Open the main `config.yml` file for the plugin and define the locale string you want to use. Add this property at the root level:
```yaml
locale: "zh"
```
### Step 2: Create the Language File
The plugin automatically extracts a default `lang_en.yml` file when the server starts.
1. Navigate to the plugin's configuration folder (e.g., `plugins/BabyPets/` or `plugins/FishRework/`).
2. Make a duplicate of the existing `lang_en.yml` file.
3. Rename the copy to match the locale you set in Step 1 (e.g., rename to `lang_zh.yml`).
### Step 3: Translate the System Text (The New File)
Open your newly created language file (`lang_zh.yml`) and translate the values on the right side of the colon.
**Example Original:**
```yaml
gui.leftclick_to_select: "Left-click to select"
```
**Example Translated:**
```yaml
gui.leftclick_to_select: "左键点击选择"
```
