this is a port of https://github.com/justinwon777/PetTracker/
the original did not have any of the scan features
PetTracker is a Minecraft Forge mod for 1.20.1 that lets you track your tamed pets with a special item. Ideal for players who frequently lose their cats, dogs, or other tameable companions.
- 🧭 Adds a Pet Tracker item that lists your tamed pets
- 📍 Shows pet names, positions, and real-time distance
- 🐺 Supports any TamableAnimal (wolves, cats, parrots, foxes, etc.) even pets from mods.
- 🔄 Automatically updates tracked pets while the item is in your inventory (and chunk is loaded)
- 🧭 Scan nearby pets (in loaded chunks)
- 🛰️ Deep scan (in a radius) for all tamed pets in the current dimension in unloaded chunks
- ✅ Simple UI for teleporting/to or removing pets from the list
- 🎨 Visual distinction for globally scanned pets not currently rendered in client view
- 🌐 Works in Singleplayer and Multiplayer (if the mod is loaded on the server)
- 🌀 Supports other dimensions including custom.
- 🐕🦺 Teleport tracked pets to you and teleport yourself to tracked pets in any dimension.
- ✨Teleports your non-sitting pets with you when you teleport - you can use this as a fast travel system.
- Craft the Pet Tracker: place an emerald over a stick in the crafting grid.
- Right-click a pet to manually add it to the tracker. These will appear in gray.
- Use the in-game buttons:
- [Area Scan] to add all nearby pets (owned and unowned). These will show in red 🔴.
- [Loaded Chunks] to include all pets from currently loaded chunks. These appear in blue 🔵.
- [Deep Scan] to include pets from unloaded chunks in a radius. Slow, but no server lag (can cause chunk generation). Black icons ⚫.
- [Fast Scan] does the same as Deep Scan, but it's much faster and more demanding on the server. Also Black icons ⚫.
