Pet Protection
Prevent perma-death for tamed animals
About this mod Author’s original text
Pet Protection
Don't want to go to the effort of taming some two-star boars, only for a stray greyling to get in and kill them all?
Don't want to bring your trusty wolf into battle, because of the probability of its untimely demise?
Then this mod is for you. Rather than outright death, mortally wounded tame creatures will instead be knocked unconscious for 15 minutes. Unless killed by you, with a butcher's knife.
Thanks to the V+ team for putting it AGPL so that I could tear the relevant code from it into this stand-alone mod. Equivalent to running V+ with the Tamed animals settings set to "Essential".

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
