Better Pets Paper v1.4.1

A bug-fix patch for the flight and pet-item issues introduced in v1.4.0.

🐉 Fix: flying pets now actually move

In v1.4.0 you could mount your pet, but it stayed put — armor-stand mounts ignore velocity. The mount is now moved every tick with block-collision checks, so flight works, stays smooth, and slides along walls instead of clipping into blocks. Controls are unchanged: look to steer, forward to fly, jump to climb, sneak to dismount.

🎩 Fix: pet items no longer vanish when put on your head

Player-head items auto-equip to the helmet slot on right-click (a 1.21.2+ behavior), which raced the "claim pet" logic and could eat the item. Pet items are now non-equippable, so right-clicking cleanly adds the pet to your list — no helmet flicker, no item loss.
