MyPet

It's Pi Day, and what better way to celebrate than with MyPet 3.14.1?

Currently, MyPet is primarily developed by one person - me! All of these updates are produced for free in my spare time. If you or your players appreciate MyPet, please consider buying me a coffee or lunch (it means a lot): https://ko-fi.com/UserDerezzed

MyPet 3.14.1 supports the following Minecraft versions: 1.8.8, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11

The MyPet 3.14 series will be the last MyPet version series to support Minecraft 1.8.8, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, and 1.17.1. MyPet 4.0 will not support these versions, and may also drop support for 1.18 and 1.19. Additional bugfixes may be released for 3.14 prior to MyPet 4.0's release.

Additionally, the MyPet 3.14 series will be the last MyPet version series to support base Spigot server software. Paper is the superior and most widely used server software, with over 82% of Minecraft Java servers today running Paper or offshoots of Paper. Making the switch is as easy as swapping your server jar. Switch to Paper today: https://papermc.io

New Help System and Command Changes

The /mypet command has been revamped! Running /mypet now shows the plugin version and project link. A new /mypet help command provides category-based help (all, pet, skills, admin) and only shows commands you have access to.

Additionally, /petadmin reload, /petadmin ticket, and /petadmin update have been moved to /mypet reload, /mypet ticket, and /mypet update.

WorldGuard Beacon Flags

Server owners using WorldGuard can now control the Beacon skill per-region with new flags. This gives you fine-grained control over where and how the Beacon skill operates.

• mypet-beacon — Enable or disable the Beacon skill entirely within a region. Set to deny to prevent Pets from applying beacon effects in that area.
• mypet-beacon-share — Control whether a Pet's beacon effects can be shared with nearby players who are not the Pet's owner. Set to deny to restrict effects to the owner only. Checked at both the Pet's location and the target player's location.
• mypet-beacon-self — Control whether the Pet's owner can receive their own Pet's beacon effects within a region. Set to deny to prevent the owner from benefiting.
• mypet-beacon-range-mult — Multiply the beacon's effect radius by the specified value. For example, setting this to 2.0 doubles the range. Stacks multiplicatively across overlapping regions.
• mypet-beacon-duration-mult — Multiply the duration of beacon effects by the specified value. For example, setting this to 0.5 halves the duration. Stacks multiplicatively across overlapping regions.
• mypet-beacon-amplifier-add — Add a fixed value to the level of beacon effects. For example, setting this to 1 would turn Strength I into Strength II. Stacks additively across overlapping regions.

New Configuration Option

A new config option PetKillsGivePlayerRewards has been added (enabled by default). When enabled, mobs killed by a Pet will drop experience and player-damage loot as if the player killed them directly. If you'd prefer that Pet kills only drop default mob loot (without player-specific drops like rare items or extra experience), set this to false in your config.yml.

Vanilla Creaking Capture Support

Vanilla-spawned Creaking mobs can now be captured as Pets by breaking the Creaking Heart block with a lead when activated — but only if they have the "HeartLinked" Leash Requirement set in the pet config.

Plugin Hook Updates

• PlotSquared v6+ is now supported
• The WorldGuard hook now tests for newer pressure plate types
• The Residence hook has been fixed so that Pets can no longer enter a Residence or activate pressure plates when their owner can't

Data Safety Improvements

MyPet now automatically backs up corrupted pet data instead of losing it entirely. Additionally, a fix has been applied to prevent Pet and player data from potentially being lost when the server shuts down.

Bugfixes

Several client crashes have been fixed, including crashes when capturing an angry Wolf or Bee on 1.21.11+, and a crash related to Pets with potion effects that have no visible color on 1.21.4+.

Many console errors have been resolved, including errors when capturing a Zombie Villager on 1.21.9+, capturing a Wandering Trader on 1.21.4+, and when a Pet's health exceeds its max health (such as after removing or downgrading the Life skill).

Backpack items past row 1 are no longer lost when switching skilltrees. The auto-updater has been switched to the Modrinth API with SHA512 verification for improved reliability. MySQL connection leak warnings when a player disconnects have been fixed, along with several Pet Shop-related errors.
