About
Pets Mod adds a personal, client-side companion to Minecraft that can appear in singleplayer or on multiplayer servers without requiring server installation. Players can choose from nearly every vanilla mob, including squids and iron golems, as well as custom pets such as the duck, penguin, raccoon, Dumbo octopus, stingray, and koi; the April Fools pack also includes playful additions such as the Batato, Diamond Chicken, and Friendly Wither. The configuration screen and commands let players switch pet species, give each pet its own name, and change available skins, including variants for mobs such as frogs, villagers, cows, raccoons, and the Dumbo octopus. Pets can be picked up and dropped, made to sit, and interacted with; options also control whether they wander and whether they get in the way of block interactions. With Pets Networked enabled, players who both have the feature can see one another’s pets, which remain client-side; the networking feature is described as experimental.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Accepts connections from other computers
- It can accept connections from other computers. Only in its files for Fabric 26.1 to 26.3; NeoForge 26.1 to 26.3; java-agent 26.1 to 26.3.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in Ably Realtime, a library it includes and in Java Websocket, a library it includes. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. Only in its files for Fabric 1.20 to 1.21.11; NeoForge 1.21 to 26.3; Forge 1.20 to 1.21.1; java-agent 26.1 to 26.3.
- Can update itself
- It can add or replace files in your mods folder, for example to update itself. Only in its files for java-agent 26.1 to 26.3.
- Starts other programs
- It can start another program on your computer. Only in its files for java-agent 26.1 to 26.3.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.91 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 25 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends about you
We read its code without running it: it contacts 1 web address while you play.
Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.
Its files for older Minecraft versions (1.8.8) also send text to an AI service.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of all 25 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- sessionserver.mojang.comTalks to the Minecraft login service.
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
AI was used for its text
Gemini is named in the author's texts.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
