Tameable

The Tameable mod was born from a curious question on a server - can you tame Ingresssus Voltaris (Death Singer)? Now you have the answer and a full-fledged tool for taming almost any creature in Minecraft!

This mod offers a flexible configurable system that allows you to determine exactly which mobs can be tamed and how they will behave afterwards.

Important note: Since the mod doesn't completely rewrite the artificial intelligence of creatures, some entities may exhibit unusual behavior.

How to use

For manual taming, use the command /tame <entity_UUID> <owner_UUID> (if you leave the owner UUID empty, the creature will become wild). Configuration is done in two main ways.

Data-driven configuration (recommended)

Create a file data/<entity_mod_id>/tameable/<entity_id>.json in your datapack or mod with the following content:

{
  "tame": [
    // Which items can be used for taming
    "a single item",
    "#or a tag"
  ],
  "breed": [
    // Which items to use for breeding. If left empty, taming items will be used
    // Breeding amount: set value → food component → 1
    "a single item",
    "#or a tag",
    {
      // or an object
      "item": "item or tag",
      "heal": 1
    }
  ],
  // Taming chance
  "chance": 0.1,
  // Should attack what the player is attacking
  "attack": true,
  // Should protect the player from attackers
  "protect": true,
  "follow": {
    // Should follow the player
    "enable": true,
    // Following speed
    "speed": 1,
    // Maximum distance to stop following
    "minDistance": 10,
    // Minimum distance to start following
    "maxDistance": 2,
    // Can leave the player
    "leavesAllowed": false
  }
}

Default values:

{
  "tame": [
    // This is the only required field
  ],
  "breed": [
    // Optional, will use taming item if field is missing or empty
    "item or tag",
    {
      // or an object
      "item": "item or tag",
      "heal": 1
    }
  ],
  // Taming chance
  "chance": 1,
  "attack": false,
  "protect": false,
  "follow": {
    // These values (except "enable") match the default wolf values
    "enable": false,
    "speed": 1,
    "minDistance": 10,
    "maxDistance": 2,
    "leavesAllowed": false
  }
}

Example:

Create a file data/minecraft/tameable/pillager.json with the following content to tame pillagers with apples and breed them using apples and stones:

{
  "tame": [
    "minecraft:apple"
  ],
  "breed": [
    "minecraft:apple",
    {
      "item": "minecraft:stone",
      "heal": 5
    }
  ],
  "chance": 0.1,
  "attack": true,
  "protect": true,
  "follow": {
    "enable": true
  }
}

Configuration via config file

WARNING: This method overwrites settings from datapacks!

Open the file .minecraft/config/tameable.json. If the file doesn't exist - create it.

To apply changes, use the /reload command in the game.

Configuration explanation:

{
  "entity type here": {
    // Object in datapack format, see above
  }
  // ... and so on
}

Example:

The following configuration allows taming pillagers with apples and breeding them using apples and stones:

{
  "minecraft:pillager": {
    "tame": [
      "minecraft:apple"
    ],
    "breed": [
      "minecraft:apple",
      {
        "item": "minecraft:stone",
        "heal": 5
      }
    ],
    "chance": 0.1,
    "attack": true,
    "protect": true,
    "follow": {
      "enable": true
    }
  }
}
