Lazy Pets

Your pets can finally lay down!

Pet dogs and cats that you leave sitting get bored and lie down.

Features

• Sitting pets lie down after 10 seconds undisturbed (you can change the time).
• Animated Lying down and getting up both ease smoothly between the poses.
• They get up too.

Right click or interact with them to make them stand up again, or you can make it so when you come close, they get up too.

• Come home to sleeping pets. Your pets will be lying down when you join a world if they were sitting when you left.
• Works with armor too! everything moves properly.
• Client side You do not need to install this on a server.

FAQ

Does the server need it? No. Client-side only.

Why does my friend's dog lie down a few seconds after mine? Each player's game keeps its own timer. It only affects how it looks.

What about parrots and horses? Only wolves and cats are covered. Parrots can sit too but don't lie down, and horses can't be told to sit. if you want me to implement other pets, let me know in my discord server.
