Redomesticate

Redomesticate

Redomesticate is a multiloader port and partial remake of Domestication Innovation, which makes tamable mobs in Minecraft more useful and engaging by giving massive improvements to how they behave and interact with the world. There are several new items and blocks to improve the tamed mob experience and a new Pet Enchanting system. Aside from the new command system, most of these changes are reflected in both vanilla mobs and new tamed mobs introduced in other mods.

What's New?

Redomesticate has been brought into the modern modding era with massive changes:

Multiloader Support:

Now officially available on 1.21.1 for both NeoForge and Fabric!

No More Citadel!

Citadel has been completely stripped out for a cleaner experience with no mandatory dependencies.

Data-Driven Mechanics:

Conversions (like Horses → Zombie Horses) and taming are now fully data-driven, giving modpack makers and datapack authors enormous flexibility. For example, tameable zombies with Rotten Flesh is a single datapack .json file. Supports any taming item and chance for any mob-to-mob conversion.

Jade Integration:

Compatibility with Jade allows for detailed tooltips showing your pet's active enchantments and pet bed location at a glance.

Feature Breakdown

Wander, Stay, Follow

Wolves, Cats, Parrots, Axolotls, Rabbits, and Foxes now have 3 possible states when tamed: Wander, Stay, and Follow. These are cycled through by right-clicking on the mob. Now it's finally possible to have your cats and dogs wander around your house instead of being frozen in place or randomly teleporting to you. This feature is configurable.

Swing Through Pets

Unless sneaking, the swing of your sword, fist, or any attack will pass right through any of your tamed pets, hitting any possible mob behind the pet as well. This means you're free to get in the battle with your pets without fear of hurting them! This applies to arrows and other projectiles too. If you do want to hit a tamed mob, hold sneak during the attack. Configurable.

Sweeping Edge Changes

Sweeping Edge can no longer hurt any of your tamed pets.

Tameable Axolotls

Gone are the days of weirdly holding a tropical fish bucket if you want an Axolotl as a companion. These amphibians are now fully tameable: simply feed a wild axolotl tropical fish from a bucket to tame them. They can be made to sit, wander, and follow like all the other tameable mobs. Note that axolotls are by default very slow on land, dry out, and have low health — you've been warned. Configurable.

Tameable Foxes

Tamed foxes are now actually tamed and can be made to sit, wander and follow like the other pets. To get a tame fox, breed two wild foxes with sweet berries and wait for the kit to grow up. No matter how tame foxes are, they'll still want to kill any chickens and (untamed) rabbits that they see. Configurable.

Tameable Rabbits

When rabbits were initially added to the game, they were fully tameable just like cats and wolves — this was eventually removed. This change has been undone. To tame a rabbit, feed it several Hay Bales. Rabbits only have 3 health by default and usually cannot attack (see: Sinister Carrot). To make them useful, Redomesticate reintroduces another removed feature: rabbits scare off Ravagers. Both tamability and the scaring of Ravagers are configurable.

Tameable Frogs

Now you can tame Frogs in Minecraft with a few spider eyes. Frogs can be made to stay, follow, or wander like the other pets, and will come to their owner's defense. They may have low attack and health, but they make up for it in cuteness.

Pet Beds

Pet Beds are craftable blocks that come in all 16 dye colours.

When a tamed mob walks onto a Pet Bed, it will attempt to claim it as its own — indicated by ZZZ particles appearing above the pet's head. Each bed can only be claimed by one pet at a time, and nearby pets without a bed will automatically seek out and navigate to an unclaimed bed within range.

Once claimed, if the pet dies, it will respawn at its bed at the next dawn. Pet enchants are preserved on respawn. To release a bed, simply break it. Configurable.

Wayward Lantern

The Wayward Lantern is a decorative block crafted from iron ingots and a lantern, and features a newly reworked model and texture.

If you are ever so far away from your pets in Follow mode that they unload from the world, they will eventually find their way back to the closest Wayward Lantern to you. This makes it perfectly fine to die far from home without losing both your pets and your loot.

Feather on a Stick

The Feather on a Stick is a simple tool crafted like so:

When used, it sends out a feather on a string in front of you. The closest pet of yours will then try to move onto the feather to play with it. This is useful for getting a mob out of places it shouldn't be (stuck in a doorway, on top of a chest).
