iDog (Musical Pet)

Current versions:

Forge 1.20.1
Fabric 1.20.1 + 1.21.1

  You can find iDogs inside of boxes left behind by a futuristic civilization.

  They appear in dungeons, so keep an eye out when mining and exploring! (~25% chance)

When an iDog is tamed with bones, it will use it’s finely-tuned sound waves to detect enemies and loot for you! It points in the direction of anything it detects, and plays different types of sounds to alert you, so keep your ears open! It also works like a portable jukebox. And it’s eyes will flash to the beat of any disc you give it!

You can disable alerts inside of it’s menu by shift-right clicking it and tapping the /!\ icon. Inside the menu, you can also change the volume, and allow the iDog to loop any music discs you give it.

Every music disc gives the iDog a different eye color, so use it to express the personality you want your iDog to have. (Modded discs are randomized!)

You can tell how much health an iDog has by looking at it’s rear-battery meter. Feed it copper, iron, or iron nuggets to heal it.

HAVE FUN!

If you are a mod author with custom music discs for 1.21.1 onward, please make sure your music discs use the TagKey of c:music_discs like vanilla discs! Otherwise the iDog can’t tell what to play!

This is due to the removal of MusicDiscItems in 1.21.1

1.21.1 Players, if a disc from another mod can’t be used by your iDog. It’s a really simple fix!

If it can play in a jukebox but not an iDog, then that just means the mod author forgot to mark the item as a music disc inside a datapack file: ‘c/tags/item/music_discs.json’, and it’s really easy to add it yourself with the following text inside the json file:

—————————————-
{
  “replace”: false,
  “values”: [
    “modname:discname”,
    “modname:discname2”
  ]
}
