Pets Guide 🐾

You can tame almost any mob in the game and turn it into your very own companion! Level it up, teach it new powers, and adventure together. 🌟

Good to know before you start: Pets only work in the survival worlds. They don't follow you into Creative or Sky World. You can have up to 45 pets saved, but only one follows you at a time!

How to Get a Pet

Find your future pet!

Browse the tables below and pick a mob you want. Each one has different requirements — read carefully before you go hunting!

Meet the requirement

Most mobs just need to be weakened — hit them until they're almost dead, then stop! Others like horses and wolves need to be tamed the normal Minecraft way first.

Right-click to claim it!

Once it's ready, just right-click the mob. The gold comes right out of your balance automatically — no physical item needed. It's yours!

Choose how your pet grows

Type /petst and a menu will pop up. You're picking what kind of companion your pet becomes — one you can ride, one that fights for you, one that protects the whole group, or one that causes chaos. Your pet won't level up at all until you pick, so don't skip this!

Take care of your new best friend 🐾

Keep your pet fed and it stays happy! Feed it by right-clicking while holding the right food (listed in the tables below). Give it a cool name with /petname, and use /petcall if it ever wanders off.

/petst Choose how your pet will grow and what it can do

/petcall Teleport your pet to you if it wanders off

/petname <name> Give your pet a name

/pethealth Check your pet's health and hunger level

/petinventory Open your pet's backpack (Explorer path only)

/petrelease Release your pet back into the wild

How Will Your Pet Grow?

After taming your pet, type /petst and a menu will pop up. You're choosing what kind of companion it becomes — and that changes everything about how it plays. Take a look at the four options below and pick whatever sounds most fun. You can switch later if you change your mind, but it costs a little bit.

🗡️ Companion

Gets stronger and tougher as it levels up
Heals itself over time without you doing anything
Hits back at anything that attacks it
At level 75: teleports to your side the moment you're in danger

🐎 Explorer

You can ride your pet from level 1! Right-click to hop on
Carries a backpack that grows as it levels — up to 3 rows of storage by level 40
Automatically picks up items you drop on the ground
At level 75: your pet can fly! 🚀

🛡️ Guardian

Gets a huge amount of health — basically a walking shield
Hits back when attacked, and can slow down anything it touches
Gives off a glow that makes nearby players stronger and harder to kill
Best choice if you play in a group — just walk into a fight together

⚡ Trickster

Sets enemies on fire at level 5 🔥
Poisons enemies at level 15 ☠️
Calls down lightning at level 30 ⚡
Makes enemies slowly wither away at level 50, then learns a ground-shaking stomp at level 60!

All Tameable Pets

Taming requirements explained:

🟢 Weaken it — hit the mob until it has very low health, then right-click it
🔵 Tame first — use the normal Minecraft taming method first (feed/ride), then right-click
🟠 Build it — construct the mob (iron blocks + carved pumpkin for Iron Golem), then right-click

If your pet dies, don't panic! It comes back after a short cooldown. It's not gone forever! 😊 A pet that hasn't eaten in a while will get hungry but it can't actually die of hunger — it just gets a little less effective until you feed it.
