Petting

A toolset to add petting ability to any mob.

Add a soft dependency to the depends.txt, and edit the bestiary.lua file -- add any mobs you want.

The format is as follows:

petting.options = {
	nilfollow = "default:grass", -- if mob does not normally follow anything, make it follow this
}

petting.bestiary = {
	{
		name = "mobs_animal", -- the modpack to find the mobs in
		monsters = {"pumba","chicken",} -- ensure the pumba (pig) and chicken are monsters that will attack you
		animals = {"bunny", "bee"} -- ensure the bunny and bee are docile animals
		npc = {"cow"}, -- make the cow an NPC
	},
	{
		name = "mobs_turtles",
		beasts = {"turtle",}, -- don't modify the animal type, just add capturing code and requisite "follows"
		rc_callback = "before", -- don't override the rightclick callback, perform the original rightclick "before" or "after" the csutom code
	},

	...
}

Note that this will override the on_righclick method of the mob entirely, unless rc_callback is set to before or after.

The capture chances will also change from their original to being directly derived from their max HP.

Mob Tamer

The Mob Tamer is a tool you can use to spawn a mob as a mobs_redo NPC. This will only affect mobs using mobs_redo as their engine, or who can expect the name property to be npc.
