Legacy pet mode...

Handle pets as they were in 1.8 and earlier

I have a request that I may wind up doing myself once we have a stable base to build on again. Let's add a configuration option to the server configuration file which, when set to 1, would scale pets to 1.00 whenever they're summoned or spawn in as pets. Prior to 1.8 or 1.9, pets were the same size when tamed as they were when wild. I can easily do ".modify scale 1.00" for my own pet, but it gets annoying doing it for everybody. Granted, only a few friends and I play, but we all miss the glory days of Vanilla and this should not be hard to implement. I am imagining modifying the code that spawns the pet to simply do a check and if whatever variable (LegacyPets for example) is 1, do whatever is done when you modify the scale by hand.

My next request I will handle myself when I get a chance. I want pets to have their unique abilities back, like Lupos' shadow damage. I imagine we can do this server-side, but I will dig into this myself when I can.
