So make sure you try it out using: /mcpets editor

✅Autoride in DismountPet flag regions should now prevent autoride


Cheers ❤️

Hey again!

Turns out last post was not the correct build and forgot a major fix for categories

Cheers!

Hey everyone !

After a long while focusing on my academic obligations, MCPets 3.0.4 is finally out with major bug fixes and some cool new features that you suggested ❤️

Bug fixes:
✅ Fixing some mounting issues with the other player being able to mount a pet that was not their as drivers.

Hey everyone !

I hope you're enjoying MCPets 3.0.0 so far ❤️

Here are a few things for bug fixes and a new command feature somebody asked for on the Discord:

✅ /mcpets category command is now available. Check the wiki to see how to open directly a category to your players.
✅ Fixing an issue when adding an item in MCPets, it would show the help message even though everything was okay
✅ Fixing an issue on first load of the database that was throwing a warning
✅ Fixing an issue with the DespawnOnDismount feature spamming the console because it was ASync in ModelEngine, so I had to put the processing on main thread for this

Besides that, so far so good !
Enjoy MCPets 3.0.1 ✨

After 2 long months of intense coding, MCPets 3.0.0 is finally out !
It adds a ton of new features to make your pets alive, for real.

Without further ado, let's jump into a clear list of the new features :
✅ Pet statistics (health, regeneration, experience, damage modifier, resistance modifier, power modifier for skills)
✅ Pet levels (tuning of the pet stats, can also add inventory extensions)
✅ Pet food for taming, regenerating or give experience to the pet
✅ Evolution system at given levels
✅ Respawn and revoke cooldowns tunable per level
✅ MythicMobs placeholders, conditions and mechanics related to the usage of pet statistics for pets. Adding a @PetFromOwner targeter, check the wiki for more information.

In addition to those new features, MCPets needed a better place for communication and support, with a new Discord : Tof & Nocsy's Workshop.
The Workshop will be the new place for support for MCPets, so make sure to join it !

You can also become a Patron to support our project and get involved in the creation process through a monthly model release for patrons.

Going back to MCPets, still a few things to add.

We have one major change in the dependency system :
⚠️ LuckPerms is now a soft dependency to MCPets. It's required to use every feature that would make a use of giving/removing permissions to players. Meaning evolutions and the GivePet mechanic. If you want me to add other permission plugins support, let me know on the Discord !

Finally, I've been fixing a few issues and adding new features :

✅ Command auto-completion in game !
✅ Fixing a bug causing the signal stick not being removed after the pet is revoked
✅ Fixing a bug causing pet skins to remove the visual name tag of the pet
✅ Adding a lot more to the wiki and making it way clearer thanks to the BETA testers

I hope you enjoy all these !
See you around on the workshop maybe !

Woops, I had let a debug message when a player dismounted a pet.

This version should remove the message.

Enjoy !!

Hey guys !

ModelEngine 3.0.0 just got released, requiring a lot of internal changes for MCPets. As a result, MCPets 2.0.1 is only compatible with ModelEngine 3.0.0 release right now (use older releases for other ModelEngine versions).
If you have any doubts about the requirements, check out the wiki.

Also yeaaah, we finally have a new wiki ! Much more explanatory and clear, do not hesitate to give feedbacks using the Discord.

So, what's new here ?

• ✅ Compatibility with MEG 3.0.0 (required for MCPets 2.0.1)

• ✅ [fixed] Skins are now loaded correctly and the name is kept when changing skin

• ✅ Skins are now using MythicMobs instead of Model Engine blueprints, so it enables you to much more customization !

• ✅ [fixed] "setname" mechanic doesn't update the pet's name: PetName Mechanic to change the pet's name to the said value

• ✅ [fixed] 9 pets in the category menu weren't showing the last one due to the pager, now it's fixed !

• ✅ [fixed] Pet skin is not reset anymore when teleported back to the owner

Enjoy !

Hey guys !

It's been a while since MCPets got a fresh update, but here we go with 2.0.0 !
This update engages a massive change for MCPets, with significant new features to enhance your players experience with their pets.

You can have a look at all the upcoming updates and the progress going on here : https://github.com/MC-Models/mcpets/wiki/Work-in-progress
Feel free to suggest anything through the discord !

Sadly I didn't have time to update the wiki yet, but this will come anytime soon to explain you in details how to use these features !

For those who had a previous version of MCPets using SQL support, previous data are gonna be off usage because I needed a completely new database structure and I couldn't go for a simple transfer. Sorry about that, even though it just contained players' pet names.
I do recommand you to delete your old language.yml as well, since I changed some default aspects of it for a better readability (specifically for english speaking servers).

Without further ado, let's recap everything that has changed :
You can now get the Signal Stick through multiple ways, enabling you to potentially even craft it using a side plugin (this is not included in the plugin don't get me wrong, but you can do that now with a side plugin !) :
✅ Possibility to hide the "Signal stick" even when the pet has signals available
✅ Command to give oneself the signal stick (/mcpets signalsticks <player> <pet>)
✅ Command to turn the player in hand item into a signal stick for a specific pet (/mcpets signalsticks <pet>)
✅ Option to enable the "Signal Stick from the Menu" in the config

You can now create categories of pet in the /mcpets menu ! Just create a "categoryname.yml" in the category folder, restart the server and the config will be setup automatically. Then modify it how you want !
✅ Create pet categories to show up in a menu when doing /mcpets, then it opens category menus (it'll help for selecting "living" from "cosmetic" pets)

You can now customize every single icons in the menus :
✅ Added a custom metadata (960) to the pager system
✅ Possibility to change all the icons in the interaction menu through the /mcpets item command
✅ Disable pets in worlds using the BlacklistWorld in the config.yml

You can now turn any living MythicMobs into somebody's pet using this mechanic :
✅ Add a mechanic setPet to set a certain Mythic Mobs as a Pet (so you can summon pets not only through the menu, but other processes eventually)

It's over with opening the menu by error now !
✅ Add an option to prevent the player to open the interaction menu when holding a signal stick

You wanted to get rid of the MySQL search when the plugin enables ?
✅ Option to disable MySQL from config

You wanted to spawn a pet to some player but discretly ?
✅ Add a silent check to the pet command (/pets spawn <id> <player> true -s / (-s) being the optional silent argument)

For the creators, you wanted to be able to turn off the pet following AI given specific situations ?
✅ Add mechanic to switch the pet behavior (PetFollow mechanic)

You wanted to disable the prefix in the chat ?
✅ Turn off/on the prefix in the language.yml file (just put "" if you want no prefix)

You wanted to keep using MM default names rather than MCPets naming ?
✅ Turn off default name to keep MM naming system

You can now store items in your pet's inventory if you make him one !
✅ Possibility to store items in the pet inventory if enabled
✅ Define default inventory size for each pet
✅ Stock inventory into the DB
✅ Icon in the pet menu interaction

Some pets are just color variations of others, so let's create a skin system !
✅ In the pet interaction menu, you can select a skin (if enabled, syntax will be on the wiki anytime soon)
✅ Define a list of skins (models) for a specific pet (in the pet file)
✅ Permission for each skin
✅ In game menu to show the available skins


And that's it for now ! Huge stuff coming over in the next weeks/months depending of my agenda.

Enjoy ! ❤️

Hey guys !

Quick update here to fix 2 bugs with latest build :

• Pets would sometime stay after player disconnection, strolling around without its master. Now it's fixed !
• Latest MythicMobs 5.0.3 build now includes the PathFinder required for the pet to follow its owner. There was an issue on MCPets side to make this happen, so now it's fixed =) !

I'm finally having more time to make more models and features for the plugins =D So maybe next release will include some juicy stuff :3

Till then, have fun !

Hey guys !

Thanks to some reports on the last release, I've finally nailed down some very old issues the plugin used to have =)

So, here are the changes :

• Flags now load and save properly on the server (mcpets-dismount, mcpets-despawn)
• Teleportation of the pet used to cause the pet to despawn when it had a custom despawn skill, and now it's fixed =)

I'm now working on a way to force the pets to be able to spawn in "mob-spawing : deny" worldguard regions. Wish me luck =D

Cheers !

Hey guys !

Finally delivering the release for MythicMobs 5.0.2.
This updates the requirements of the plugins : MythicMobs 5.0.2 is now mandatory for this version to work.

Here are other changes :

• Flags are now named mcpets-despawn and mcpets-dismount to encounter less conflicts between plugins.
• Fixed a bug on player changing world
• Fixed a bug for display name to disappear on teleport
• Fixed a bug causing pets to despawn randomly

Also, thanks to SaltyAimbOtter the code was rapidly cleaned for a better optimisation and readability.
An API class was implemented for an easier use as well.

Hey guys !

Quick fix update and new options are now available in the config.yml file :

• Fixing a bug with pages when you had the same title in both inventories
• Adding an option to enable/disable automatic dismount when the player takes damages
• Adding an option to enable/disable respawn of the pet when the player reconnect

Have fun !

Hey guys !

We've rebranded AdvancedPet to MCPets.
This update is called 1.0.0 as it's the first stable release of MCPets under this name, but it corresponds to the very same update as AdvancedPet r1.0.6.

Note that this version is ONLY compatible with 1.18 and ModelEngine r2.3.1.

There will be more MCPets updates to come to support older version for sure (1.16 and 1.17).

Hey guys !

This is a small patch to get the plugin work on 1.18 with ModelEngine r2.3.1.
This include a new architecture, of course, considering the ModelEngine update :

• The models of the pet must now have a bone named tag_name if they want to be named. This bone is to be placed by the model creator. An example is given on the wiki of AdvancedPet here : (wiki link)

• Any model that doesn't own a bone named tag_name (which is imposed by AdvancedPet for simplicity purpose) won't get their name displayed (that's how ModelEngine seems to work now)

• The otter has been patched for this purpose, samewise for those of you who bought the Starter Pack of AdvancedPet (download available here on mcmodels)

I'm currently working on some more interesting features to come : inventory in your pets, mounting minecraft mobs and control them, etc...

Meanwhile, stay tuned and take care of you lads !

Hey guys ! =)

I had no time for coding recently, so I just come in with this very quick update to fix mounting mobs issue.

I'll also add a 1.16.5 release on the git for this 1.0.5 release tonight =)

Bug fixed :

• Riding a mob will no longer create weird mounting/dismount situation

Enjoy !

Hey everyone !

After a long rush, 1.18 finally comes out publicly with several adjustments and fixes.
This version should also be compatible with 1.17.

So, let's get on what's new and what has been fixed :

New features :

• Making a versioning following system (1.17 & 1.18)
  
• GivePet mechanic to give access to a pet using the mythicmobs (givepet{id="petid"} @Target)

Bug fixes :

• Naming both inventory (interaction & GUI) the same would use to cause the pet not to be revoked but respawned when clicking on the pet icon in the interaction menu. But this is out now !
  
• Some plugins still generates a chain reaction of pets. To prevent this issue, I added a semaphore security that will revoke the pet if the chain reaction begins. This may be triggered when pets get despawned too often. Also if that feature is a trouble for you guys, please let me know, I'll try to find something else.

Hey guys !

After a long walk through the code, I finally found out what could coz pet spawning overload, so here we go with a patch for this on 1.17 and 1.18 =)

Yes, 1.18 is now supported, but still in work. If you wanna try the 1.18 in coming builds, make sure to check out the patreon page !

Hey !

Sorry for the third post today, the plugin got some restructuration to get better for feature updates.
However I broke renaming on last release, so here comes the patch.

Thanks to those who gave me this really quick feedback, highly appreciated <3

Another update during the same day because I had some time to make some new quick fixes and adding a new option in the config file.

So here it goes :

New option :

• You can now set whether or not the pet interaction menu shows a button to go back to the pet selection menu ! Have a look at the config example here, option : ActivateBackMenuIcon

Bug fixes :

• There used to be an error stack trace on plugin disable due to ModelEngine disabling before it. This had no consequences but it has been fixed
• Fixed an issue around Database saves (thanks to Vyrus)

Hey everyone =D !

Thanks to your wonderful feedbacks on the plugin, we're finally out of the BETA phase Yeeeah!!

It's been a tough 2 weeks of work, but I finally come up with this major update for AdvancedPet.
However, it had me realize that the time I invested in the plugin was getting a lot, and I could afford making both this plugin and models while not losing money, which is helping a lot in these tough days.

So I decided I may open a Patreon for early updates. You guys we'll be able to support me while pushing me up for faster updates this way =)

Also we now have a wiki Yooohooo!! You can access it here.

Now, let's get into this major update and the new features/fixes that were made :

New features :

• WorldGuard is now a softdepend, which means it's not essential for AdvancedPet to work now
• GUI size can now be set to adaptive or fixed to a certain size for customized GUI.
• Items representing the pets can now be custom modeled items, not heads mandatory
• You can now configure the spawn range of the pet not just by using the Distance criterion
• You can now configure the coming back range of the pet not just by using the Distance criterion, which stands for how close to you the pet should come back when its too far
  
• /advancedpet now has an alias : /pets
• You can now order you pet to cast MythicMobs skills using signals, pretty cool right ? (ref wiki for usage)
• Blacklist now exists for naming the pet
• Hexadecimal colors support for naming pets
• Added a new permission : advancedpet.color to enable players to use colors in their pet name

Bug fixes :

• Multiplication of pets spawning due to a conflict with RedProtect (tested in local, do not hesitate to report me stuff about it)

Known issues that needs more report :

• Revoking pet won't really apply for some reason. May be linked to a plugin conflict. I need more feedbacks on this one

Hey guys =)

It's been quite a rush these days, but I had enough time cover some bugs and had some new features !
Without further ado, here comes the sum up :

New features :

• Adding a new option into pet files which should have been here from scratch : MountType. This refer to the different possibilities over controller given by ModelEngine here. Basically, two major choices : flying or walking. Default would be on walking.
• Adding a targeter into MythicMobs so can cast a skill at the PetOwner. For this, simply use the @PetOwner on your MythicMobs.
  
• Adding a new option into config.yml : SneakMode. Basically, it says whether or not the interaction menu of the pet should be opened through the option you chose previously + sneaking or not. Default is on to false.
• Adding MySQL support to the plugin. This is a big one for those who have a database. It's configurable from config.yml and basically gives you the possibility to store PlayerData into a database instead of multiple YAML files. For those who don't have a database, don't worry the old system remains as well

Known issues that couldn't be fixed already :

• Something causing duplication of pets on death/tp for some customers until server would eventually crash. If you encounter this issue please contact me through Spigot so we can eventually find the origin and patch it very soon =)

That's all for today's update !
Have fun =D

Quick fix for the teleport event :

• Mount should be dismounted on teleport to prevent stuck issue on the mount

Thanks for your feedbacks =)
Please send other possible issues to be patched.

Hey everyone =D !

I'm super happy with the launch of AdvancedPet, it's evolving nicely on the platform thanks to your contributions =)

I've read through your feedbacks, and here I come with some new features, a complete rework of the config files, and some bug fixes.

So let's start with the new features :

• Pets are now handled through separated config files, all concentrated into the "Pets" folder (you can also create subfolders to sort things out). Have a look at the updated examples, namely the otter which is offered with the plugin.
• A new option is now available for mounts : AutoRide (true/false). This enables you to get the player on the mount when he/she summons it.
• You can now summon a pet and attach it to a player through a command : /advancedpet spawn <pet.id> <playername> <checkPermission:true/false> (so you can chose if the player has have the permission to summon this pet basically)
• This version is now compatible with 1.16, but hasn't been tested and won't be supported. It would be a waste of time to retrograde the code, namely because of the dependencies with ModelEngine and MythicMobs.
• Language.yml has been updated for a better visual, namely the "Usage" lines. So I recommand you either to delete the language.yml file or only the "usage" line, it will be updated automatically if you do so.
• Samewise, I suggest you to clean up the "Pets" field in the config.yml which is now obsolete. The global features applied to all pets will remain into it and of course still functionnal.

Considering the bugs fixed :

• Mounts can't be mounted twice anymore ! (Thanks Fred for noticing this one ahah)
• An error considering mob spawning not recognized by MM is now fixed (Thanks Entropy114)
• Tweaks with mobs death/despawn is now given a patch. We'll see how it goes =)

Hey everyone !

Some of you reported me that it was hard to get all the possibilities you could get from AdvancedPet.

To help you setup your first pet, with basic skills such as interaction, despawn skill and custom animations, I've made a quick model of an otter that would maybe help you understand what you can do basically with AdvancedPet.

The files are included in the ZIP, along with the JAR of the plugin.

Good luck !
