MyPet 4 is here — rebuilt from the ground up.
The Ultimate Pet Companion Plugin for Minecraft Servers
What if that zombie you just defeated could become your most trusted ally? What if you could ride a spider into battle, or have a skeleton archer defend your base? With MyPet, your imagination is the only limit.
MyPet is one of the most feature-rich and beloved pet plugins in the Minecraft community — actively developed, deeply customizable, and trusted by hundreds of servers worldwide. MyPet 4 is the biggest release yet: a rewritten core, a web-based editor, custom pet models, and a plugin that stays compatible when Minecraft updates.
New in MyPet 4
No More Waiting After Minecraft Updates
This is the big one. MyPet is now automatically compatible when you update your server — no more sitting on an old Minecraft version waiting. Update whenever you want, and your pets come with you.
️ Web-Based Configuration Editor
Configure MyPet from a full web editor that syncs directly to your server — the same modern workflow you know from the LuckPerms editor. Edit your settings in a clean interface, hit save, and watch it apply. No more hunting through YAML files line by line.
Custom Pet Models
Break free from vanilla mob shapes. MyPet 4 supports custom pet models through ItemsAdder, ModelEngine, BetterModel, and MythicMobs — so your pets can look like anything your server needs.
To get you started, MyPet 4 ships with two included custom-model pets — the Capybara and the Chameleon — compatible with any of the custom-model plugins above. (Huge thanks to the HeavenCreations team for these!)
A Fully Rewritten GUI System
Every menu has been rebuilt from scratch and is now fully configurable through the web editor. Rearrange items, change layouts, and reshape the menus to match your server however you like.
120+ New Skilltrees
MyPet 4 includes over 120 new skilltrees built on a more advanced hierarchy system, giving you far more flexibility in how skills branch, inherit, and unlock.
More Highlights
- The Ender Dragon returns — tame and ride it once again, if you choose to enable it
- New skills added straight from community suggestions on GitHub
- Full MiniMessage transition — no more legacy color codes, with modern gradients and formatting everywhere
- A completely rewritten wiki with dedicated sections for players, server configuration, and the developer API
- A refreshed developer API — now with the ability to create your own custom Skills
- And more!
What Makes MyPet Special?Tame Almost Anything
Forget being limited to wolves and cats. MyPet lets players capture and tame nearly every mob type in Minecraft — from the humble chicken to the fearsome warden, and even the Ender Dragon when enabled. Each creature can become a loyal companion ready to fight by your side, carry your items, or simply follow you on your adventures — and with custom-model support, it can look like whatever you imagine.
Watch Them Grow
Your pets aren't static — they evolve. As your companion fights alongside you and gains experience, it levels up, unlocking new abilities and becoming increasingly powerful. The leveling system creates a genuine sense of progression and attachment to your pet.
️ Fully Customizable Skilltrees
MyPet features an extensive skill system that transforms your pets from simple followers into versatile companions.
Server owners have complete control. Create custom skilltrees that define exactly which skills unlock at each level, now with a more advanced hierarchy system and 120+ ready-made trees to build from. Want a tank pet that absorbs damage? A speedy scout? A walking storage unit? Design skilltrees that match your server's gameplay style.
Server Administrator Features
Granular Permission Control
Fine-tune exactly who can tame which mob types, access specific skilltrees, use commands, and more. MyPet integrates seamlessly with your existing permission system.
Flexible Capture RequirementsConfigure leash flags to control how players obtain pets:

Store pet data in SQLite (default) or MySQL. Perfect for networks that need synchronized pet data across multiple servers.
Modern, MiniMessage-Powered Text
MyPet 4 has fully transitioned to MiniMessage. Every message is now styled with clean, modern formatting — gradients, hover text, and rich color — with no legacy color codes to wrestle with.
Plugin Integrations
MyPet plays nicely with your existing setup:
- ItemsAdder, ModelEngine, BetterModel, MythicMobs — Give your pets custom models
- Citizens — Store pets via NPC interactions
- WorldGuard — Region-specific flags for pet behavior
- PlaceholderAPI — Display pet info anywhere
- BossShopPro — Sell pets and pet items in shops

Player Experience
Intuitive Commands
Players manage their pets with simple, memorable commands, or an intuitive GUI system:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/petinfo | Check your pet's stats and status |
/petinventory | Access your pet's backpack |
/petbehavior | Change combat behavior |
/petswitch · /petstore | Manage multiple pets |
/petname | Give your companion a custom name |
Multiple Pet Storage
Players can capture and store multiple pets, switching between them as needed. Configure storage limits per permission group or per skill level to create progression tiers.
Pet Trading
Enable players to trade pets with each other — building a player-driven pet economy on your server.
Hunger System
Optional hunger mechanics add another layer of gameplay. Feed your pets to keep them healthy — a hungry pet has reduced stats and beacon range.
