Respawnable Pets is a mod that will allow your pets to spawn next to you when they die. It’s a simple mechanic that should’ve been added in the vanilla, but I guess the modders have to do it themselves.
PetCreeper

You ever hate one of these green bastards that will spawn behind you randomly and explode? Well, same. But using this mod, you’ll be able to tame these explosive menace enslave them in a life of idle pleasantries and such.

There are a lot of dogs in this game, it makes it feel like Watch_Dogs with actual dogs, from Siberian Huskies to Great Danes. Pretty dope mod, honestly. 10/10 mod just for the dogs.
Pet Master
Pet Master is a mod that has the same functions with the previous entry, except this time around, you’ll have more options to customize your pets however you like. It also includes in-game mechanics like friendly fire being turned off for you and your coop friends’ pets, releasing your pets and setting them free into the wilderness, ownership, statuses, and many more. It’s a pretty niche mod and a very simple mechanic for the vanilla experience.

AdvancedPets mod is an advanced version of the Pet Master, except this time around, it has many command options that will allow you to have full control on, not only the game, but also the way your pets move.

Oh, man. I think this is one of those mods that I’ll install or mix with other mods until they crash my PC. Elemental Pets mod is basically owning one of the pets that has their own elemental abilities. Now, it might not sound amazing, but imaging you’re shooting arrows, but then your pet shoots fireballs and outdamages you. Now, THAT’S GAMECHANGING!
Silent’s Pets

Silent’s Pets is a mod that allows you to craft pets, instead of just taming them like the usual. It’s a pretty neat mod because you can create tons upon tons of pets just by crafting, albeit it’s easier to just tame with other mods. If you think your murderous rampages of zombies and skellies are worth another pet, then go for this mod. It’s fun and killing mobs allows you to summon a cute companion.
D-Pets
Created by: MurZiCk
The free market provides! D-Pets is yet another server management tool for your pets, in which you can help other players by donating your pets to them. It’s kinda like a pet shop simulator in a sense, but that’s basically the premise of this mod. It’s all about the macromanagement of the pets on a large scale, which often results in server raids. With this mod, transactions between pet sellers are now easier and less buggier.
