Tame, Play, and Feed Your Chonky Minecraft Pets!

Animals are now full companions! You can tame nearly all passive mobs using sneak+feed, while normal feeding only breeds them. Special treats boost trust faster. Animals have visible taming/trust and chunk bars: overfeeding makes them chubby in stages, with max stage only able to roll around.

Pets can play and exercise with toys: cats chase yarn balls, dogs fetch bones, and other mobs chase their favorite foods. Toys reduce chunk, increase happiness, and encourage activity. Cats loaf, lie on their backs, or accept petting depending on mood and trust. All animals have personalities and moods that affect play, loafing, petting, and behavior.

Bored animals dig, root, or scratch and can sometimes find items, adding interactive surprises. In multiplayer, pets interact, explore, and play together. This update adds personality, choice, and attachment to animals while keeping gameplay intuitive, fun, and lively.

    Pet beds could expand the companion system by giving animals a true sense of home. Crafted from wool and wooden planks in a shape that resembles a real pet bed, they can be assigned by right-clicking while a pet is nearby or by leading the animal onto the bed. Once claimed, the bed becomes that animal’s anchor point. Pets will return to it at night, rest there when idle, and stay within a loose radius, making them feel like they belong in a specific place rather than wandering aimlessly.

    This system would connect naturally with other mechanics. Pets could bring items they find while exploring back to their bed, treat it as a resting spot after playing, and spend more time there if they become overfed. Sleeping or resting in the bed would slowly increase trust and happiness, improving behavior and responsiveness. Personality traits would influence how they use it—dogs reliably return, while cats may ignore it and choose their own spots. Small details like circling before lying down or adjusting position would add immersion. Overall, this would make animals feel like real companions with routines, spaces, and behaviors that evolve over time.

    Animals could have visible trust and chunk levels, where overfeeding causes them to progress from normal to chubby to maximum chunk, eventually limiting movement and even causing them to roll instead of walk. Exercise tools such as yarn balls for cats, fetchable bones for dogs, and food-based lures for other animals would allow players to actively reduce chunk levels while increasing happiness and strengthening bonds. Moods like lazy, energetic, or chaotic would influence how often animals play, rest, or respond to interaction, adding variety and personality to each companion.

    When bored, animals could perform unique actions that make them feel more alive and useful. Dogs might dig and uncover items such as bones or small loot, pigs could root up food or occasionally find buried resources, chickens might scratch up seeds or extra drops, and cows could graze and produce small rewards over time. Advancements could support these systems, such as reaching maximum chunk, restoring an overfed animal through exercise, or having a pet successfully find and return an item. Together, these mechanics add depth, interaction, and personality, making animals feel dynamic and engaging rather than passive.
