Petlings

Petlings

Your virtual pet companion in Minecraft. Adopt, customize, and bond with AI-driven pets that follow you everywhere, across the game, the web, and now on mobile on iOS & MacOS AppStore and keep your adventures going in and out of Minecraft.

🎃 **What’s new in 0.8.0 – Pumpkin Hollow**: all October, friendly ghosts drift around your pet after dark and leave wrapped sweets for you to find. Plus a free Pumpkin Hat, an end to pet shaking, and everything from the Heart Tree Update: pets that remember you, the Pawprints rhythm game, and buried keepsakes. Full changelog at the bottom.

What is Petlings?

Petlings adds client-side pet companions to Minecraft. Pick from 42 pet species, dress them up with 150+ 3D cosmetics, teach them emotes, and watch them develop unique personalities. Your pet syncs across devices, so the same pet you see in Minecraft also appears on petlings.gg and now iOS and MacOS app.

No server install required – Petlings runs entirely on your client, on Fabric or NeoForge.

✨ Features

42 Pet Species

Cats, wolves, foxes, axolotls, baby dragons, elemental slimes, wisps, lantern imps, pigmy krakens, pocket phoenixes, mini gryphons, shadowling wolves, star sprites, nimbus pups, and more. Each has variants, randomized personality traits, and (for the May 2026 Bloom-release pets) mood-driven texture switching.

170+ 3D Cosmetics

Hats, glasses, capes, wings, weapons, trails, ears, tails, horns, collars, boots, back-items. All rendered as full 3D models attached to your pet, animated cosmetics included: the Storm Halo spins, the Clockwork Collar’s gear turns, the Propeller Pack’s blades spin.

A Pet That Remembers You

Tell your pet things in chat (“I love axolotls”, “today I built a farm”) and it remembers them, bringing them up later in conversation and idle chatter. It also remembers your adventures: advancements, close calls, rare finds, nights survived. Open **My Pet > Memories** to see everything it knows and forget anything you like.

Pet AI with Personality

Pets follow you with smooth pathfinding, idle animations, wandering, sitting, playing, looking, and after 30 seconds of not moving, they curl up and sleep with a per-pet one-shot animation. Each pet has randomized playfulness / curiosity / laziness traits that drive behavior.

Emote System

19 emotes across five categories: Greeting (wave, nod, bow), Dance (spin, hop dance, wiggle), Expression (happy jump, confused, sad droop, angry stomp, love hearts), Action (sit, beg, roll over, play dead, sleep), Trick (backflip, handstand, fetch). Press Y for the emote wheel.

Multiplayer

See other players’ pets with their cosmetics, tints, and emotes in real-time. Works server-wide on any backend, no plugins required.

Cosmetic Editor

Fine-tune the position, scale, and rotation of each cosmetic slot per pet type. Save profiles per pet.

Pet Leveling & Abilities

Feed, play with, and pet your companion to earn XP. Unlock 6 abilities: Head Mount, Night Vision, Ore Radar, Swift Companion, Pet Satchel, Combat Buddy.

Cross-Platform Sync

Your pet, cosmetics, level, and stats sync to the cloud. Log in from any device and pick up where you left off.

🔄 Changelog – 0.8.0

**The mod’s half of the iOS app’s October update. 0.7.0 was never released on its own, so this also includes the Heart Tree Update.**

**Pumpkin Hollow**
– Friendly ghosts after dark, trick-or-treat sweets, the hollow’s story, seasonal chatter (October only; Seasonal switch in Settings).
– New free cosmetic: **Pumpkin Hat**.

**Fixes**
– **No more pet shaking**: pets are no longer slammed down mid-jump when stepping up a block, and no longer slide and flip when you walk into them.
– Teleport-to-owner no longer drops your pet into a wall or off a ledge.

**From the Heart Tree Update**
– **Memories**: your pet remembers what you tell it, and you can see and forget anything.
– **Game journal**: your pet remembers your Minecraft adventures.
– **Shared chat**: in-game chat shows the same conversation as the web and app.
– **Pawprints** rhythm game and **Sniff, dig, keep** with eight keepsakes.
– Needs that match the cloud and never bottom out.
– The shop is driven by the live catalog, so every pet and cosmetic can be bought in game.
– **New**: Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3, on both Fabric and NeoForge.
