Don't Kill Friends!

Protect your tamed animals from damage, even when you're offline!

DontKillFriends is a lightweight Minecraft plugin that prevents other players from harming your beloved pets. Whether you're online or offline, your tamed animals stay safe from both player attacks and environmental damage.

What it does

• Shields pets from environmental damage: fire, lava, drowning, explosions, void, Warden sonic boom, and more
• Stops hostile mobs from targeting or attacking tamed pets

• Intercepts /kill commands that would destroy named tamed mobs
• Notifies pet owners on login when someone tried to attack their animals
