Petting is a Minecraft mod (mod ID petting) that introduces a universal taming and companion system. Any mob—passive, hostile, or boss, vanilla or modded—can be tamed with a golden treat. Tamed pets follow your lead, fight according to tactical collars, carry equipment in their own inventories, can be ridden across land, air, and sea, and can respawn at a bound bed or cushion.
Welcome to the official Petting Wiki. Here you will find clear and comprehensive documentation covering all features, recipes, tactical modes, riding controls, and configuration settings.
