No more needing to leave your pets at home for safety. - **Bonding that matters**: Petting and scratching your cat (sneak + right click with an open hand), feeding them, and sticking together deepen your bond and unlock stronger companionship. - **Unique companions**: Randomized stats, class type, favorite food to discover, gender (optional), and class. - **Class abilities**: Naiad, Guardian, Witchling, Dreamer, Lucky - powers scale with affinity. - **Expressive behavior**: Cats emote based on weather, time, and their bond with their owner. They react to the world, teleport smartly, show affection, and follow when tempted with food. - **Multiplayer friendly**: Optional friendly-fire protection and owner-only breeding. ## How It Works - **Automatic upgrade**: Vanilla cats become Improved Cats (keeps name, variant, owner, collar color). - **Custom taming**: Use **Ancient Cod/Salmon** (rare drops from cod/salmon or fisherman trades). Vanilla fish taming can be enabled in config. - **Stat inspection**: Sneak + right-click a tamed cat with a **Training String** to view stats. ## Classes & Abilities - **Naiad**: Short burst of regeneration (with cooldown) when you're low on health; affinity grows in water and sunlight. - **Guardian**: Short burst of resistance (with cooldown) when you take damage; glows near creepers or phantoms. - **Witchling**: Gifts potion items; affinity grows near brewing stands or with status effects. - **Dreamer**: Stores XP and delivers Bottles o' Enchanting. - **Lucky**: Keeps Luck I on you while nearby. ## Items - **Ancient Cod / Ancient Salmon** (and cooked variants) - **Training String** - **Cat Collar** ## Compatibility & Requirements - **Loader**: Fabric, Forge - **Minecraft**: 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.5-1.21.11 - **Required (Fabric)**: Fabric API, Cloth Config - **Optional (Fabric)**: Mod Menu (for in-game config UI) ## Configuration - Config file: `config/cozys-improved-cats.json` - Reload command: `/reloadcozycatsconfig` (server operators) ## ⚠️ Important: Read Before Installing on Existing Worlds This mod replaces vanilla cats with **custom cat entities** in order to support its features (personality, abilities, respawn system, etc.). ### Uninstall warning If you **remove this mod** and then load your world, cats that were converted/managed by this mod may **disappear permanently** because the custom entity no longer exists without the mod installed. ### Before uninstalling * **Back up your world first** * Do **not** open the world without the mod unless you accept the risk of losing modded cats * If you already removed the mod and loaded the world, recovery may only be possible from a **backup** ## Related Mods [Cozy's Improved Wolves 🐺](https://modrinth.com/mod/cozys-improved-wolves)
