Description
A bunch of dogs lying down in the various poses available in this mod
About
Despite the name, this mod, in a literal sense, lets dogs that have been left sitting down too long, to actually lie down and get some rest.
After having sat for a configurable amount of time, without their owners close by, they will lie down to rest in a random position, and will excitedly jump back to sitting position once their owner gets close to them once more!
This mod is client-side only and requires Minecraft Forge. As this mod overrides the vanilla Wolf model and is purely cosmetic, it is unlikely compatible with mods that overhaul wolves/dogs such as Doggy Talents.
Fabric version available here.
Configs
Dogs Spawn Lying Down - Do dogs spawn into the world lying down if they're already sitting when you enter the world?
Enabled Poses - By default all poses are enabled and randomization approximately 50 different combinations of dogs lying down.
Dogs Get Up For - Dogs can get up from lying position back to sitting position depending on who passes near it.
Range for Dogs to Get Up - The range for the above configuration.
Time Before Lie - The time that has to pass before dogs lie down.
