BabyPets
Bring your pet closer to life with smoother, smarter, and more natural follow behavior.
BabyPets is a Paper plugin that makes pet companions feel less like glitchy mobs and more like real followers. Instead of constantly snapping behind the player or getting stuck on every small obstacle, pets are designed to move in a cleaner, more believable way while staying focused on their owner.

This plugin is built for servers that want companion pets to feel polished, responsive, and fun without looking broken or distracting.
What this plugin does
BabyPets improves the way pets follow players by focusing on movement quality and responsiveness. Pets are meant to:
-
Follow their owner in a more natural way
-
Climb blocks more reliably instead of getting stuck
-
Stop constantly teleporting unless they are truly too far away
-
Redirect their attention back to the owner when the player starts moving
-
Move more smoothly without weird spinning, twitching, or sudden 360s
-
Handle jumping and vertical movement better
-
Fall normally instead of drifting or slowly floating downward
-
Respect boundaries and obstacles more intelligently
The goal is simple: make pets behave like actual companions instead of buggy entities being dragged around the world.
Designed for smoother pet movement
A lot of pet systems feel awkward in practice. Pets may lag behind, teleport too often, spin in circles, fail to walk up blocks, or react badly to jumps and elevation changes.
BabyPets is designed to solve those problems by improving how pets:
Track their owner Reacquire the player as a target Navigate around the environment Recover when they fall too far behind Adjust to player movement in real time
