Honestly, since its release, it still has bugs and issues—things that are communicated, reported, yet remain unsolved. We can give excuses, but truthfully, this is the most disappointing product from the Advanced franchise. More was expected from GC and their team, but it's disheartening to see it glitching constantly, crashing, failing to connect to SQL, encountering build errors in the menu, among other issues. It’s very sad, and I don’t want this to be taken as destructive criticism, but rather as a wake-up call for the developer and their team. They should show a desire to get things right and release at least one stable version—something that may only work halfway, but at least works.

Cool Unique pets but i wish that there was SQL support i see so many plugin with it and see this without it :/ don't buy if you're running a bungee server

Best best best! Great pets plugin, crazy how much I can do with one plugin, from simple following head pets to actual 3d pets without texture packs and they give abilities.

Best pets plugin on the market.

Attention, this plugin adds additional custom data to all brewing potions!
MAY conflict with other plugins like ODailyQuests and so on...

BEST PETS PLUGIN! I'm amazed by capabilities of this plugin, best plugin for pets. Love the custom mobs support and that it requires no texture packs!!!!! 10/10 love

There're no MySQL support, even though their previous plugin MiniaturePets supports it?

There're no reply to the issue opened for this over one year.

There're absolutely no reply to this issue in the Discord even if I ask three times.(Just got ignored. They reply to other questions.)

Just one reply explain the difficulty of this is enough for me, but there's none.

Also, there're only Vault money or EXP supported for player to buy pets, if you want for example PlayerPoints or Item, you'll need to write plugin yourself.

As allways problems:
[AdvancedPets] Your license exceeded maximum number of unique IPs. Contact the developer for an enterprise license or connect using previously used IPs.
[11:23:20 INFO]: [AdvancedPets] Disabling AdvancedPets v2.11.9

Server allways same IP, in Discord oflline support.

After I bought the plugin, I wanted to verify myself in Discord, but to do that I would first have to change my Spigot username, but I don't want to do that and I find it completely unnecessary, because my Paypal payment can also be verified in another way. But you can't even reach the seller via Paypal because there is an email stored there that doesn't exist. I find the whole thing quite dubious that you can't even contact the seller after the purchase.

Hello, I bought a plugin from you on Spigot today and would like to verify myself in Discord. Is there a way to do this without having to change my account name on Spigot? Unfortunately, I couldn't ask in Discord because you're only allowed to write if you've been verified.

Overall good plugin, but its missing a basic pet spawn command to create own menus.. Please fix this (:

At last i can recommend this plugin to other people.
Most of problem is solved and you can use it...

Congrats on being the worst plugin i have from 50+ others
When "name" field in menu is longer than 15 letters - there is BUG:
give menu items for free, not sell pets but give items from menu.
AdvancedPets-2.9.8 don't have this BUG! Only new versions.
Other plugins does not have problem with character limits.

Proper channels to report issues does not solve problems long time:
Creator know this bug very long time, but does not solve problem.
Infinity of WATER_BREATHING abilitie problem does not solve too...

I have motivate developers to know code better, good luck!

An excellent piece of software! Custom pets function super well, my server players loved when we switched from other basic pets plugin to this one.

I'm using a few vanilla pets i made as well as some modelengine models, all function as expected. Very good!

Sorry, but I am giving 3 stars just because of the vanilla mobs as pets feature. It isn't fully working as expected. I have posted a suggestion one month ago but haven't received any messages about it :|
Also the wiki could be more detailed

Virtually abandoned plugin, several customers are reporting the error of the plugin together with mcmmo and no measures have been taken to resolve this situation, completely damaging the servers. https://github.com/GC-spigot/AdvancedPets/issues/183

Better to look some other alternatives and similiar plugins, but not this :) This creator is not what you want for long term plugins for yourself :) He will do everything he can to lie and make you look bad, he does not care about people at all, only thing he cares is money :P

These pets are so cute and it blows my mind that this is a feature! Another thing, this pets plugin is very robust and glitch-free and continually updating.

I use all plugins made by GC. Works good never issues, quick support on discord and good performance.

2.7.19 version STILL have bugs:

1. In every ~20 second PET teleporting to player place and obstructs everything. Players can't play normally and did not using these pets.
Command '/pet sit' don't help, pet teleporting allways to your place.
2. After set "world-blacklist" - there is allways Error in console, when player go to this world (STILL have bug).

They don't fix old bugs:

1. In every ~20 second PET teleporting to player place and obstructs everything. Players can't play normally and did not using these pets. Command '/pet sit' don't help, pet teleporting allways to your place.
2. After set "world-blacklist" - there is allways Error in console, when player go to this world(still have bug).
3. Each update contains "100+ one" new problem or error. Developer did not update automatically his files inside, need to make an new one from the start! what, i have nothing to do? Omg...

Best pets plugin available! Good dev always help, no issue with plugin. REcomend to all!

Incredible plugin. Requires no texture pack. My players love it!
Best pets plugin on spigot currently.

Why 1 star?

In every ~20 second PET teleporting to player place and obstructs everything. You need teleport pet 2 or 3 blosks away, but not in to the player place. Players can't play normally, need to disable this plugin.

Plugin horrivel, com itensadder o plugin nem funciona, as heads ficam todas bugadas. Dinheiro jogado fora.

Not to mention new bugs with every plugin update, they couldn't stop pets from getting in the way all the time. Interferes with the game, constantly teleports to the player. I already regret that I bought this particular plugin, there are better ones!

The developers have not solved the problem with animals teleporting to the player. It is impossible to play because the animal always interferes, climbs on the player and blocks everything. Noone want to have a pet.

There is no way to dispawn player pet from console side, when you need. If your server have games like Bedwars, or 1v1 --> you don't need this plugin.

The plugin is good, but the support is terrible,
All in all I came to get support and I got a ban without doing anything, I came to ask for verification and instead I got a ban, they don't even tell me a reason they are evasive, don't buy until they fix their support because if the license doesn't work for you they will tell you "deal with it Alone", I bought two of their plugins for 24 euros and I don't even get basic support, it's just a shame. If you fix the support I will gladly change the review but for now this is what I think.

Impressive plugin! The capabilities are very well executed, pets look breathtaking and walking is smooth!

amaizing plugin, good work and more.amaizing plugin, good work and more.amaizing plugin, good work and more.amaizing plugin, good work and more.

If i was able to give better than 5 stars plugin, this would be the one. I've purchased all plugins by GC and have loved them so much! I recommend this plugin to everyone else.

A very well made pets plugin, having no issues or problems. Perfect performance and features.

Loving all the new updates constantly!

Excellent plugin from GC, as always. Very good high quality, my sever uses this plugin very much.

Amazing Plugin!

This is the Perfect Pets plugin and the Pets are Very good quality aswell!

The fact you can Make your own pets very easy with the ingame editor makes it even better!

Would recommend 10/10

Amazing plugin, I use this with AdvancedMobs and can use the same mobs both for pets and for custom mobs in my server.

Just like I said for advancedmobs, this is a really good well made plugin without issues or lag. My players love these pets :) They are a good donators perk

Fun pets plugin, amazing that it requires no mods. Me and my friends have enjoyed it on our server.

The plugin lost something that was very good that every month they would add a new pet for free and they didn't add them anymore, they only added 2 every 1 pet per month but they didn't continue implementing more.

Good, i use this in my small server with friends and it's nice to have a way to have pets in the server also they defend you from attacks or make you stronger, also have more stuff to do like upgrade them :D

Wow, what's possible in minecraft without mods or resource packs these days doesnt stop to amaze me. Pets move smoothly, without any lag on the server and are just... awesome.

Pets are becoming a huge part of my donations and I have to thank this plugin - thank you.

Awesome, I really like to create effects for pets so they can have unique assignments :D

A bit disappointed. One reason I specifically purchased this plugin was to use it with one of the pet packs they had on their website, as it stated that it was compatible with APets, however this was untrue and the pack was not compatible. When I reached out to support they said it was "planned for the future", but that doesn't help me in the present. Asked if I could exchange my license for their plugin that was compatible as I just wanted to use that pet pack and it would better fit my needs, but they said no. Understandable I guess, but still disappointing.

I have this along with BattlePass and AdvancedEnchantments, very useful for creating custom content for players. No flaws, using for few months now, got it from another platform.

Friendly support, no issues, 5/5

I have to disagree with previous Review, Support is good you must contact them properly on Discord. This latest update is a proof of it.

Was amazing, but recent releases have bugs, pets showing as armor stands, not following players (pets go wondering off) and no support.

An excellent Pets plugin - really good replacement for MiniaturePets. I use AdvancedPets now together with AdvancedEnchantments and they work great!

The plugin is beyond perfect. GC continues to update its plugins as usual. I would love to see more new features.

Previous reviews sum it up - ultimately this is the best custom pets plugin on Spigotmc, hands down. Beats all other pets plugin by a mile, custom effects and amazing animations - love it.

I love this plugin, everything is so easy to configure! Thank you so much for updating and great support ;)

THE BEST.

A good suggestion would be to configure the minimum distance of the pet, I want to keep it away from me because sometimes it is in front of me, disturbing the vision or when I'm building.

I recommended this to plugins like MiniaturePets and Pets... etc and none of them could add it... this plugin lets you make pets very easy and better and it is perfect to make pets like copper golems or starwars... it is 100% epic I wonder if I will get a flying alien?

Very excellent plug-in, the author updates stably! nice! Wiki is so comprehensive that I can create interesting pets!

Great plugin from the start, exciting to see where this will be in the future :)

For a plugin, which has just been released the experience has been amazing, especially due to their support team which was able to resolve my issues extremely quickly and professionally.

Looking forward, to seeing my players experience these pets, it for sure will be a great addition!

Wow! For a new release, this is smooth. It would be awesome if there was a place where people could share pets they create since the selection is limited at the moment which is to be expected from a brand new plugin.

EXCELLENT!!!

Hands down the best pets plugin on the market. I've never seen such abilities in a plugin ever - custom mobs, custom abilities, SKINS omg.

Performance has been incredible - my 200+ player server has no issues running it - as promised by the dev <3

Thank youuu!!!!!!

As always, a good Advanced Plugin! Love the work and the pets. Curious for the next upcoming pet :D

Sick! I'm excited to use this plugin on my network!

Looks like tons of effort was put in!

Wow! This plugin is finally out! I've been beta testing AdvancedPets for a couple of weeks now, and the experience has been perfect.

Pros:
Extremely unique pets
Very good performance
Easy to create new pets in-game
Very simple configuration

Amazing! I own all plugins made by GC and will continue to support him :) Good job!
