Pet Inventory

Pet Inventory

Petting provides a custom inventory interface for all tamed pets, allowing players to manage equipment, armor, weapons, saddles, and tactical settings.

Opening the Inventory

To open a pet's inventory:

• Look at an owned pet within reach.
• Press Shift + Right-Click (or your custom key bound to Open Pet Inventory).
• You can also open the inventory while actively riding your pet.

The inventory will only open if you are the pet's owner and within interaction distance.

Note

If enablePetInventory is disabled in petting-synced.toml, pets operate solely on server defaults, cannot open inventory screens, cannot equip items, and cannot be custom-ridden.
