Love these kind of mods, but like MANY other mod pages, there is hardly any documentary on commands or keybinds.

How do you pick up your dog? Tell us so we know how it works, and if it doesn't- that another mod is breaking this function.

Been sitting here for a good 20 minutes polishing my CTRL SHIFT and ALT keys

Edit:
Pet Backpack is an item that you need to physically craft, using a Leather Backpack in the center top slot, and 3 leather in the middle slots.
To use it, put it in one of the 4 inventory expansion slots on your hotbar, select that hotbar slot, and shift+Right click your pet.

There, consise description.
Sorry if I come across mean, am just really annoyed at how mods have worse explanation or documentation than even the vanilla VT wiki does lol

For some reason, after I emptied my petbag, after a save and load, I tried picking up a cat with my empty bag and it spawned a copy of the pet I already had in my house. I accidentally created an army of my dog that I had to murder one by one.

Hey Gerste, any chance you'd be working on a fix for the picking up corgis thing? Love the mod, but the gf will kill me if I run around with my dog and she can't take her corgi with us. 😅

hello ! I don't know how I'm supposed to pick up the dog... Plz help !

I did a quick check and you are right. In my tests it also applied to dogs. I will stay true to not uploading updates for this, but I will explain the issue if anyone wants to fix/ adopt this.

The animals in the game that can take items into their mouths do not actually do what you might think they do. In reality their mouth is actually their left hand (If you want to know more about this, I recommend checking out the vanilla EntityBehaviorMouthInventory). This however leads to their lefthand overriding the players lefthand and therefore moving the offhand item.

TL;DR; To fix this, locate the "LeftHand" attachment point in the backpack shape files and remove them. glarmer

Hi,

Thanks for uploading this mod, it's fun and makes it a lot easier to move pets out of tricky situations. I know you say you won't update this past initial release, but I figured I'd document this bug where having a cat in the backpack causes the offhand item to appear in its head - it didn't happen when I had a dog in my pack.
