Pets

Introduction

Pets are animals that function similarly to Livestock. Instead of products, pets are useful for obeying commands, being friends, pest control, hunting.
Pets recognize a certain player as their Owner. To become a pet's owner, feed it to raise its familiarity above 15%. Pets will only obey commands that come from their owner.
Clicking on a pet with dye changes its collar color.

Dogs

Dogs are a pet that eats grains, vegetables, and meat, rotten or not rotten. They will help you hunt almost any land predator or prey.
Dogs come in multiple variants that depend on what type of wolf it was domesticated from.

Pigeons

Pigeons are capable of being tamed and delivering packages, but do not follow standard commands. You can feed Pigeon Food, such as grains and vegetables, to a pigeon to tame it.
Once tamed a pigeon can deliver Sacks to other players by naming the pouch with the player's name before handing it over.

Commands

Responsible pet owners must learn to control their pet. Luckily, this is easy. By pressing Right Click while holding Shift with an empty hand, the Pet Screen may be opened. This screen contains a number of commands that can be used to tell the pet what to do: Relax, We're Home, Sit, Follow Me, and Hunt With Me.

Relax

Relax is the default state of pets, and commanding them returns them to this state. If a pet it at home, it will wander around the property, but not leave, and sleep once a day. If it is too far from home, it will walk aimlessly.

Home

We're Home sets the home position of the pet. This tells the animal that it should, when relaxing, stay in that general area. Telling an animal that it is at home does not change the activity it is currently doing.

Sit tells the pet to sit where it is. However, animals have minds of their own, and will eventually get bored and stand up!

Hunt

Hunt With Me tells the pet to follow you, and engage in combat when you attack or are attacked. Pets will only attack animals that they are able to (for example, cats and foxes cannot help attack bears!).

Follow Me is the same as Hunt With Me, but the pet will not risk itself in combat.

Pet Treat

Pet Treats can be made by mixing medicine with bone meal.
Pet treats give massive stat bonuses to your pets for a short duration.

Name Tag

Name Tags can be crafted from paper and string. Once made, they can be edited on a Scribing Table to give them a custom name that will transfer to your pet with Right Click.

Lead

A Lead can be crafted from burlap fiber or string, and a metal ring.
You can Right Click an animal with a lead to pull them around. Much more efficient than baiting them with food!

You can also pick up some smaller animals with Shift + Right Click with empty hands.
