\n## \u2728 Core Features<\/p>\n
### Dynamic Leveling System
\n– **Level Up Through Combat:** Your dogs gain experience and level up by helping you fight hostile mobs.
\n– **Health Boost:** With each level, your dog’s maximum health increases, making them more durable in battle. The formula is fully configurable.<\/p>\n
### Unique Attribute Upgrades
\nYour dog’s main level is just the beginning. Players can specialize their companions through two distinct upgrade paths:
\n– **Damage Upgrade:** Feed your dog a specific item (default: Cooked Rabbit, fully configurable) to increase its damage output.
\n– **Speed Upgrade:** Splash your dog with Potions of Speed to permanently increase its movement speed.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udc3e Doggy Chests – Mobile Storage!
\n– **Unlock a New Utility:** Once a dog reaches a certain health threshold (configurable), players can attach a chest to it by shift-right-clicking.
\n– **Your Items are Safe:** The dog becomes a mobile storage unit! If the dog unfortunately dies, all of its items will safely drop on the ground.
\n– **Fully Customizable:** The inventory size, title, and the entire feature can be configured or disabled in the `config.yml`.<\/p>\n

\n## \ud83d\udcbb Commands & Permissions
\nThe plugin features a powerful interactive command to manage and view pets.<\/p>\n

\n – **Permission:** (No permission required by default for players)
\n – **Function:** Displays a detailed, clickable list of all your pets, showing their current Level, Health, Damage, Speed, and Chest status. Hover over any stat to get a tooltip on how to improve it!<\/p>\n

\n – **Function:** Clicking the `[-]` button next to a pet’s name in `\/petinfo` initiates a secure, two-step removal process to prevent accidents. The player must type `\/petinfo confirm` to finalize the removal.<\/p>\n
