Holographic Pets (pets.yml)

The pet system is one of the most innovative features of EligiusNametag. With it, any wolf, parrot, or cat tamed by a player will receive a floating holographic nametag that smoothly follows the pet.

Base Configuration

pets:
  enabled: true
  show_unnamed: false

• If show_unnamed is true, even a generic tamed wolf will have a text hologram.
• If set to false, only pets that the player renames using an Anvil (vanilla Name Tag) will activate the holographic system to preserve a more Vanilla style on the general server.

Line Design

Use <DISPLAYNAME> to show the name the player gave it in the anvil, and <PLAYER> to quote the owner.

  default_format:
    - "<gray><PLAYER>'s Pet</gray>"
    - "<white><DISPLAYNAME></white>"

🐾 The Biggest Secret!

Pets inherit their owner's Vault rank design. This means that if a cat's owner has the "Admin" rank in players.yml, and the Admin rank has red text and a fire icon, the cat will also show the red text and fire icon in its group variable (if you configure it this way by crossing PAPI variables or LuckPerms permissions at the <PLAYER> node level).
