MyPet 3.14.3 is here, an end-of-life maintenance release focused on stability with over 30 bugfixes across all supported Minecraft versions.

## MyPet 3 is now end-of-life
MyPet 3 will no longer receive substantive updates. Please consider upgrading to MyPet 4, which features a near-complete rewrite, custom pet models, tons of new skills, a live web editor, and more: https://builtbybit.com/resources/mypet-4.115339/

• MyPet 3.14.3 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, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2

## Changes

• Added end-of-life message
• Plugin now disables itself with a clear explanation on unsupported Minecraft versions and unsupported Forge-Bukkit hybrids like Arclight or Mohist
• Updated bStats to 3.1.0
• Disabled bStats reporting for local builds

## Bugfixes
This release fixes a bug that sometimes caused NBT data loss when items had data from third party plugins, a server crash that could occur when a player mounted a Pet where it could not safely dismount on 1.21.6+, and Pet attacks ignoring damage reductions applied by other plugins. Phantom Pets no longer slow down to a near-standstill when they target a mob, Pet ranged attacks deal damage during duels again, and MyPet correctly re-registers its entities after a server reload on 1.20.3+. Many rare errors around summoning, teleporting, world changes, and disconnects have also been resolved - see the full changelog below.

MyPet 3.14.2 is here, bringing support for the latest Minecraft releases along with a handful of important fixes.

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

If you want to chat about MyPet, get help, or alpha test MyPet 4, join our Discord: https://discord.gg/GtcdWFw

• MyPet 3.14.2 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, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2

The MyPet 3.14 series will be the **last MyPet version series to support Minecraft versions below 1.20.6. 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**.

## New Minecraft Versions Support
MyPet now supports Spigot/Paper 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. Please note that Golden Dandelion mechanics are not yet supported on these versions, and MyPet 3 does not support mobs from 1.21.11 onwards.

## Pet Name Improvements
Default Pet names now use Mojang's vanilla translation keys. This means Pet names automatically match the player's client language and stay consistent with vanilla Minecraft naming.

## Developer Changes

• API publishing is now available for developers at https://repo.userderezzed.dev/
• The legacy RawMessage dependency has been removed in favor of Spigot's BaseComponent API

## Bugfixes
A sound error during the MyPetLevelUpEvent on older servers has been fixed, along with server lag on the first beacon menu open that was caused by a blocking Mojang skin lookup. Active Pets are no longer purged by /petadmin cleanup, and an attempt has been made to fix custom items from plugins like ItemsAdder being lost in Pet inventories.

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

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**.

## 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.

### Full changelog:

• Added /mypet help command with category-based help (all, pet, skills, admin) — only shows commands you have access to
• /mypet now shows the plugin version and project link
• Moved /petadmin reload, /petadmin ticket, and /petadmin update to /mypet reload, /mypet ticket, /mypet update

• Added config option PetKillsGivePlayerRewards for dropping exp and player-damage loot when a Pet kills a mob
• Added hook support for PlotSquared v6+
• Added automatic backup of corrupted pet data instead of losing it entirely
• Added anonymous usage statistics for pet types, database types, and active skills to help improve the plugin
• Added 10-minute refresh interval for the contributor list so new contributors are recognized without a server restart
• Revamped startup logging with new splash screen
• Switched auto-updater to Modrinth API with SHA512 verification and skip update checks for local builds
• Updated WorldGuard hook to test for newer pressure plate types
• Updated Residence hook to fix Pets being able to enter a Residence or activate pressure plates when their owner can't

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from MyPet! Consider this a holiday gift - a new version of MyPet has released.

• MyPet 3.14.0 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. 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

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

• This update was also made possible by MaksyKun, haeherfader, and coleslydn, who each contributed their own time to this project. Thank you!**

Now, onto the changes!
## MyPet Skilltree Creator
[](https://skilltree.mypet-plugin.de)
The skilltree creator has been completely redesigned and is now available through the web. Visit it here: https://skilltree.mypet-plugin.de

You can also double-click on the plugin jar to have the skilltree creator open in your browser.
## New Minecraft versions and new Pets
Minecraft 1.21.11 is now supported. Additionally, you can now capture Copper Golems, Creakings, Baby Dolphins, Baby Glow Squids, and Baby Squids as Pets. Salmon Pets will now retain their correct size when captured and released, and Cat Pets will remain tamed and retain their correct fur pattern when captured and released. This also means you can now dye your Cat Pet’s collar!

Copper Golems have oxidation mechanics similar to vanilla Minecraft:

• Right-click with Axe → strip oxidation
• Right-click with Honeycomb → wax to prevent oxidation

Unique to MyPet:

• Right-click with Poppy → place flower on head
• Right-click with Shears → remove poppy

Additionally, server owners can modify the Copper Golem Pet oxidation interval, or disable oxidation outright.

## Bleed Skill
Pets can now learn to make their opponents bleed! This Skill allows you to customize the amount of damage, the interval at which the opponent will bleed, how long the opponent will bleed for, and the chance that the opponent will bleed. Additionally, the bleeding opponent will drop blood particles every time it loses health. This Skill is already implemented into the MyPet Skilltree Creator and can be added to your existing skilltrees.

## Bugfixes
Pets have learned how to follow their owner more naturally. Additionally, airborne Pets no longer zoom off into the distance and despawn when their owner is going faster than default speed.

Notably, many server crashes have been fixed, including a common crash when Pets would teleport towards the player when far away from the origin point of the world. MyPet no longer prevents Multiverse from creating worlds on 1.21.8-1.21.10, and many edge case client and server crashes have been fixed.
