About the Pet Names mod

Pet Names is a minimalistic configurable mod which gives tamable baby animals a pre-defined name. Wolves, cats, horses, donkeys, mules and llamas can be named, if enabled in the config.

The mod contains a list of 5000+ names, one of which is randomly chosen when a baby animal enters the world.

All available config options:

_useFemaleNames default true

_useMaleNames default true

nameWolves default true

nameCats default true

nameHorses default true

nameDonkeys default true

nameMules default true

nameLlamas default true

It's a lovely surprise to see what name nature has given the baby:

You may freely use this mod in any modpack, as long as the download remains hosted within the CurseForge or Modrinth ecosystem.

Serilum.com contains an overview and more information on all mods available.
