FetchPets
Lost a tamed dog somewhere across the world and have no idea where it wandered off to? FetchPets brings all your tamed pets straight to you - from anywhere on the server, including pets sitting in unloaded chunks that no vanilla /tp command can ever reach.
The problem it solves
When a chunk unloads, the entities inside it stop ticking. To a normal command, your pet simply doesn't exist until you physically walk back into render distance - which is impossible if you don't know where it went. That's a hard engine limitation, not a syntax problem.
FetchPets gets around it by reading the world's entity data directly off disk, finding every pet you own, and pulling only those specific chunks back in to teleport them. No "force-load the entire world" lag.

Wolves, cats, parrots, horses, donkeys, mules, llamas - and any modded pet that uses the standard owner tag. Sitting pets are stood back up so they actually follow you home (toggleable).
How /fetchpets list looks
MichaelGaming12 has 4 pets:
- Wolf 'Rex' @ 412, 64, -1180 in Nether (world_nether) [unloaded]
- Horse 'Buttercup' @ -2003, 65, 540 in Overworld (world) [unloaded]
- Cat @ 12, 71, 5 in Overworld (world) [loaded]
Configuration
settings:
stand-up-sitting-pets: true # stand sitting pets up so they follow you
include-loaded: true # also sweep loaded worlds, not just disk
cooldown-seconds: 5 # per-player cooldown (0 = off)
Notes
- Cross-dimensional: pets stuck in the Nether or End are pulled to wherever you stand.
- The world scan runs off the main thread, so it won't freeze your server.
- Only the pet's owner is matched, so you'll never grab someone else's dog.
