# \ud83d\udc3e JavaGotchi Pet Mod
\nWelcome to **JavaGotchi**, a virtual pet mod for Minecraft 1.21.1! This mod adds a unique companion that requires your care and attention to thrive.<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udf1f Features
\nJavaGotchi isn’t just a mob; it’s a living pet with its own needs. Track its status through a custom **on-screen HUD** (Status Bar) that appears when you are near your pet!<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udcca Vital Stats:
\n* **Hunger:** Keep your pet fed or it will eventually disappear!
\n* **Happiness:** Interact with your pet to keep its spirits high.
\n* **Energy:** Moving around tires your pet. If it hits zero, it will stop moving until rested or fed.
\n* **Health:** Watch out for danger! Your pet’s health is shown in red.<\/p>\n

\n* **Apple:** Restores **Hunger** and heals **Health**.
\n* **Carrot:** Boosts **Energy** levels.
\n* **Stick:** Increases **Happiness** (playing), but costs a bit of **Energy**.
