Minecraft plugin MyPet

🔌 About MyPet

MyPet — is a Minecraft plugin for Spigot/Paper servers that adds tamable, trainable pets with configurable skilltrees, inventories and NPC/shop integration. MyPet helps server owners add companion mobs that can level, learn skills and interact with players without custom mods.

🎯 Purpose

MyPet solves the need for a flexible pet system on Minecraft servers: capture or summon mobs as pets, train them via skilltrees, manage pet inventories and provide shop/NPC interactions. It's intended for public Survival, RPG and minigame servers running Spigot or Paper. ()

⚙ Main features

• Support for many mob types as pets (configurable). ()
• Skilltrees: pets can gain XP and learn skills (Combat, Utility, PvP, Ride, Farm by default). ()
• Pet inventory and behaviors (ride, beacon buffs, special actions). ()
• Pet administration tools (petadmin, skilltree editor/SkilltreeCreator built into the plugin). ()
• NPC/shop integration (Citizens traits like mypet-shop, mypet-storage) and shop permissions. ()
• Teleport/respawn, rename, store/send away and switch active pets. ()
• Telemetry via bStats (plugin listed on bStats). ()

🧩 Who it fits

• Server owners running Survival, RPG, Prison or Minigame servers on Spigot/Paper.
• Administrators who need a configurable pet/companion system with skill progression and shop/NPC hooks.
• Not required for small local test servers.

🏗 Usage examples

• Players capture a mob, level it, and select a Combat skilltree to use as a guard.
• Pets with Ride skill allow mounts when configured to do so.
• Use Citizens + MyPet traits to create NPC shops that sell pets or pet items via MyPet shop traits. ()

⚙ Installation

📥 Installation

• Download the MyPet .jar from the official GitHub Releases or marketplace. ()
• Place the .jar into your server plugins/ folder.
• Start the server. On first run MyPet generates default config files and sample skilltrees (config.yml, pet-config.yml, skilltree files). ()
• Restart the server fully after changes (do not rely on /reload for structural changes).

📦 Dependencies

• Confirmed integrations/hooks in official docs: Citizens traits (mypet-shop, mypet-storage), Skilltree tools and optional Rhino scripting for experience scripts. bStats telemetry is used. Do not assume other integrations unless listed in plugin docs. ()

🧾 Configuration

• MyPet creates config.yml, pet-config.yml and skilltree files on first startup. Edit files in the /plugins/MyPet/ folder. ()
• The plugin supports language translations and per‑player language detection; translations can be managed via the translation site or locale files. ()
• Information about built‑in support for MySQL vs SQLite is not consistently documented in the official pages; check the config.yml and GitHub README for the release you use. Information not specified in official docs. ()

🧠 Additional information

Known conflicts & limitations

• Designed for Spigot/Paper (topics and repository indicate target). Test on your exact server version — compatibility with proxy systems (BungeeCord/Velocity) is not clearly documented and should be tested. ()
• Some server owners reported version issues on marketplace threads — check the plugin’s GitHub releases for a build matching your Minecraft/Paper version. ()
