Pet Rock

Information targets the latest supported release. For legacy (older) versions and bug fixes, read the changelogs.

Introduction

Pet Rock is a "summonable" mount that collects affinity, and can be converted into a horse at a later time.

Crafting

Pet Rocks come in five stone-type variants; Stone, Andesite, Diorite, Granite and Deepslate.

Usage

Right Click to summon the Pet Rock from its statue, or return its statue.

Shift + Right Click to place the Pet Rock in statue form (block). Left Click to break and retrieve the item.

Purpose

Pet Rocks have several purposes:

  • Provide access to an easy and low maintenance early-game mount.
  • Provide a functional (rideable) "vessel" to collect affinity experience.
  • Convert into a real horse when the player is ready for one.

Affinity

Feeding a second Shining Amethyst Shard converts the pet rock to a horse, so avoid doing so accidentally until ready!

Right Click a Pet Rock horse with Shining Amethyst Shard to enables collecting affinity XP.  TBC 

  • Affinity can only be earned by the owner through (active) riding.  TBC 
  • Hover over the Pet Rock in item form to see total affinity (tooltip).
More Information
Affinity Conversion

The exact conversion rate is unknown, but it is approx. 0.3/b or 3pts per 100b distance.

Riding

Pet Rocks cannot swim - statue a sunk or sinking horse to rescue it!

Riding is the same as a normal Minecraft horse, but does not require (or accept) a saddle.

  • Stats are fixed at 2b jump and 11.7bps speed.
  • Pet Rocks have no AI and will not wander while unmounted.

Health

Pet Rocks have 18 D7Nimage.png and can sustain damage. Right Click them with their stone-type (block) to speed up healing.

  • Pet Rocks are healed for 1 D7Nimage.png every other stone block they are "fed".
  • Pet Rocks can flee from damage, despite normally having no AI.

Model

Pet Rock (item) will use one of five model pose variants. This is permanently set once placed for the first time.

Converting

Right Click a Pet Rock horse with Shining Amethyst Shard (again) when you are ready to convert it to a real horse.

  • Chooses one adult coat at random from all valid options.
  • Tames the horse to the same owner as the Pet Rock.  TBC 
  • Converts all collected affinity to accurate experience/levels.

Additional

More Information: Reproduction, Permissions, Multiplayer Server Info
Breeding

Pet Rocks cannot reproduce.

Permissions  TBC 

This information is currently awaiting confirmation or multiplayer testing!

The owner is automatically assigned to the first player to summon the horse from the statue.

  • Only the owner can summon a Pet Rock from its statue item.  TBC 
  • Only the owner can earn affinity experience for a Pet Rock horse.
  • Ownership cannot be transferred to another player (without use of data commands).
  • Converting a Pet Rock will not work if a server or pack disables converting.  TBC (Lite does not include this option!) 
Multiplayer Servers

Pet Rocks permit "horse spawning", and may not be suited to the balance or limitations of every server!

The benefits of this feature are aimed at single player and adventure packs to get an early-game head start on bonding (affinity). Pet Rocks may not align with the goals or balance required for servers and specific mod packs. There is no way to directly disable or restrict pet rocks (ie how many a player can have, how they can be converted etc), but there are options to remove it (almost) entirely, or adjust how it is obtained (if at all) using other mods or custom files.

  • Item Obliterator - Set the item(s) as functionally unobtainable or hidden. Read the mod page for more information.
  • Craft Tweaker - Change recipe(s), and other features.
  • Custom Datapacks - Can adjust many things:
    • Override crafting recipes with a blank template to invalidate it
    • Override crafting recipes to better align with item value (cost) or accessibility (ie crafting items sold via server only)
    • Override or replace loot files to remove items from the loot table
