Features
Taming
Throw food at stray cats or wolves to attempt to tame them. They will eat any food thrown by players if they are close enough to it.
- Wolves will react the same way as if you just gave them a bone (1/3 chance of being tamed).
- Cats are picky eaters, so food consumed this way will only have a 20% chance of taming them.
Feeding cats
Since cats escape from you except if you are holding raw fish, this datapack implements a workaround for this: stray cats will stop their movement when a nearby player is holding food in their hand. The cat will look at the player for a few seconds expecting to receive food, and then will continue with their normal behaviour.
- Attacking a cat will temporarily disable this feature.
- This option can be disabled using the command
/function dnv.user:cat_waiting(admin only). Use the same command again to reenable it.

Vegancraft
This is a standalone datapack, but was originally designed as a part of Vegancraft, a collection of datapacks with the goal of making a vegan gamestyle possible in a vanilla-like way without missing any game features. Check out my Plant-based Foods datapack if you also want to be able to heal and breed your pets with plant-based food, and some additional features.
Known issues and solutions
- Stray cats and wolves will eat any valid food which was thrown by a player and which is within their “eating range” (1 block), so it can happen that you feed them by accident.
