## IndyPets – Independent Pets<\/p>\n

Free your pets from the curse of having to sit down, let ’em roam! \ud83d\udc31\ud83e\udd9c\ud83d\udc3a<\/p>\n

Independent pets won’t follow or teleport to you but roam around, doing their own thing!
\nRight Click to cycle between sitting, following, and independent.
\nShift + Right Click to toggle following and independent directly.
\nWhistle\/Unwhistle (J) to toggle all your nearby pets – rally your army! <\/p>\n

Pets have a home where they won’t stray too far off. “Home” is where they were last set independent. <\/p>\n

Goat Horns can be configured as a whistle as well! Each horn can be set individually with different settings:
\nWhistle only, Unwhistle only, Toggle (which alternates between whistling and unwhistling) and Whistle \/ Sneak Unwhistle (which whistles while standing and unwhistles while sneaking).<\/p>\n

The mod _can_ work completely server-only.
\nVanilla clients can use `\/indypets whistle` and `unwhistle` commands and
\n`\/indypets config` `get` to view and `set` change some basic settings and `help` get descriptions.
\nThe `\/indypets horn ` command allows to configure each Goat Horn as a whistle.
\n`\/indypets horn` by itself prints all current horn settings.
\nIt is recommended to install the mod client-side too for whistle and interact hotkeys, whistle sound effects, translated status messages and more config options.<\/p>\n

In case (Shift +) Right Click conflicts with other mods or modded pets, try IndyPets’ Interact hotkey (H) or one of the many compatibility options in the config.<\/p>\n

– for Fabric Minecraft 1.16 and above
\n– requires Cloth Config, Fabric API and [Mod Menu]([https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/modmenu](https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/modmenu)) to access the client config
\nOriginally developed by lizin5ths, now officially continued by yours truly.<\/p>\n
