Ever wondered what your dog is thinking? Now you know.

Tamed pets show comic-style thought bubbles that react to what happens around them, and every pet gets its own personality.

✅ No client mods, no resource pack · ⚡ Folia supported · 🇪🇸 Disponible en español

✨ Features

  • 💭 Comic thought bubbles above wolves, cats, parrots, horses, donkeys, mules and llamas, with a colour for each mood
  • 🎭 5 personalities: Loyal, Drama Queen, Grumpy, Philosopher, Glutton
  • 🧠 Reacts to 40+ situations: danger, low health, food, rain, the Nether, owners coming home, fishing, explosions…
  • ❤ Players pet their pets by looking at them and pressing F
  • 🦜 Species lines (parrots repeat things. Of course they do.)
  • 🌍 919 lines in English and in Spanish, every one editable

🎭 Personalities

Personality · A zombie shows up…
Loyal · I'll protect you!
Drama Queen · THIS IS HOW IT ENDS.
Grumpy · Ugh. Zombie. Again.
Philosopher · Is the Zombie also someone's pet?
Glutton · Does it taste like chicken?

🛡 Built for servers

  • Only scans around online players, every 2 seconds. Nothing iterates the world.
  • Anti-spam: interval per pet, cooldown per trigger, pace per player, at most 3 bubbles around a player, only a couple of pets comment on the same thing.
  • Bubbles are vanilla Text Displays, never saved to disk, cleaned up after crashes.
  • visibility: owner if players should only see their own pets' bubbles; /pt toggle per player.
  • Region-threaded: runs on Folia.
