The `config.yml` file is the main config file of MyPet. All pet type related options can be found in the [pet-config.yml](/setup-guide/getting-started/configuration/pet-config.yml.md). Below are the available settings, their types and descriptions. *** ## MyPet: ### Disable-All-Actionbar-Messages * Type: boolean * Description: If true, no action bar messages will be used. ### Recall-Pet-After-Despawn * Type: boolean * Description: Not yet documented. ### PetKillsGivePlayerRewards * Type: boolean * Description: When true, mobs killed by a MyPet will drop experience and loot as if killed by a player. ### OwnerCanAttackPet * Type: boolean * Description: Enable to allow the owner to hit their own pet. ### DisablePetVersusPlayer * Type: boolean * Description: Prevents combat between players and pets. ### Make-Pet-Invisible-When-Owner-Is-Invisible * Type: boolean * Description: Makes the pet invisible when the owner has the `Invisible` effect.

Carefully increasing the value will skip the set number of server ticks, decreasing load on the server, at the cost of tracking behavior. * FollowStartDistance * Type: double * Description: Distance at which the pet begins to follow the player. *** ### Leash * #### Consume * Type: boolean * Description: Enable to consume the leash item when a new pet is leashed. * #### AllowRanged * Type: boolean * Description: Enable to allow players to catch pets with projectiles when the leash item is a bow. *** ### Log * #### Level * Type: string * Description: Set the level at which the messages will be logged to the file.

Set this to `false` to switch error reporting off completely — nothing is then sent anywhere. The change takes effect after a server restart. * #### Unique-ID * Type: string * Description: This is used to identify different users for the error reporter. This will allow the devs to see how many servers have the same problem. {% hint style="warning" %} ❗ DO NOT CHANGE THE UNIQUE-ID STRING ❗ {% endhint %} #### What is sent to Sentry Error reporting is **enabled by default**. Only errors that MyPet is actually involved in are reported. When such an error occurs, the report contains: * The exception itself: type, message and full stack trace * Recent log messages leading up to the error (breadcrumbs) * The `Unique-ID` from this config, used as an anonymous server identifier * The MyPet version and build number, and whether it is a release or dev build * The server brand and version (Paper, Spigot, Purpur, CraftBukkit, …), the Minecraft version and the Java version * The storage backend in use (e.g. SQLite, MySQL) * The number of currently active pets * A list of all installed plugins with their versions, and the MyPet hooks that are active Player names and UUIDs are not collected deliberately, but note that they can still appear incidentally inside an exception message or a captured log line. {% hint style="info" %} Keeping this enabled helps the developers spot and fix bugs that affect many servers. {% endhint %} *** ### Info * #### Wiki-URL * Type: string * Description: This can be changed if the server has it's own Wiki for MyPet. *** ### Update * #### Check * Type: boolean * Description: Sets if the plugin will check for updates when it is loaded.
