SimplePets

The Easy-To-Use companion plugin for your server

Overview

SimplePets started out as an Easy-To-Use replacement for EchoPets (Which at the time of its first development was still supported)

Now 10+ years later it is called one of the best EchoPets replacements by quite a few users that have used EchoPets in the past.

These days SimplePets is mostly used as a cosmetic plugin, Most servers hand the pets out as a reward for their players to either flex with or to mess around with in their hubs.
