Coppercore’s pet system is powered by **PetBlocks**, so these aren’t normal Minecraft mobs. They’re small animated block/head-based companions that can be customised with a huge variety of skins. Pets are unlocked and expanded through the **Vote Shop**, meaning there’s no need to spend real money to use them. *** ### Getting Your First Pet Before you can create a pet, you’ll need to unlock your first **Pet Slot** from `/voteshop`. Pet Slots determine how many pets you can own. Each slot is a permanent one-time unlock, and they must be purchased in order: | **Pet Capacity** | **Cost** | | ---------------- | --------------- | | 1 Pet | 30 Vote Points | | 2 Pets | 40 Vote Points | | 3 Pets | 50 Vote Points | | 4 Pets | 75 Vote Points | | 5 Pets | 100 Vote Points | For example, you must own the **1 Pet** unlock before purchasing **2 Pets**, and so on. Once you have your first slot, create your pet with: `/petblocks create classic` Replace `` with whatever you’d like to call your pet. Pet names can be between **1 and 20 characters** and may contain letters, numbers, spaces and a small selection of other characters. *** ### Managing Your Pet The easiest way to manage your pets is with: `/petblock` This opens the main PetBlocks menu for your currently selected pet. From here you can: * Spawn or despawn your pet * Call your pet back to you * Ride or dismount your pet * Wear your pet as a hat * Rename your pet * Change its skin The menu automatically changes depending on what your pet is currently doing, so options such as **Ride Pet** and **Dismount Pet** will swap when needed.
*** ### Pet Skins Your pet’s appearance can be changed from the **Pet Skins** option inside `/petblock`. Skins are permanently unlocked through the **Cosmetics → Pet Skins** section of `/voteshop`. Once you own a skin, it will appear in the relevant PetBlocks skin menu whenever you want to use it. There are four main skin collections: *** #### Simple Block Skins The **Simple Block Skins** pack costs **40 Vote Points** and unlocks the entire collection at once. These turn your pet into regular Minecraft blocks such as stone, dirt, planks, ores and more. Unlike the other skin categories, Simple Block Skins are **not purchased individually**. One purchase unlocks the whole collection. *** #### Pet Skins Pet Skins use custom heads to turn your companion into different animals and creatures. There are **37 Pet Skins**, each costing **10 Vote Points** and permanently unlocking individually. *** #### Vehicle Skins Fancy having a tiny car, minecart, tank or other vehicle following you around instead? :D There are **36 Vehicle Skins**, each available individually for **10 Vote Points**. *** #### Plushie Skins Plushie Skins turn your pet into little plush-style companions. There are **37 Plushie Skins**, each costing **10 Vote Points**. The PetBlocks skin menu separates all four collections into their own categories so your unlocked skins are easy to find. *** ### Master Pet Stylist For players who want the ultimate pet customisation option, the Vote Shop also contains **Master Pet Stylist**. **Cost: 1,000 Vote Points** Master Pet Stylist permanently unlocks the **entire Head Database** for pet customisation. Instead of being limited to the skins sold individually through the Vote Shop, you can browse **thousands of custom heads** from Head Database and use practically any of them as your pet’s appearance. Once unlocked, **Master Pet Stylist** appears directly inside your Pet Skins menu. Selecting it opens the Head Database browser for your currently selected pet. *** ### Useful Commands You can do most things through `/petblock`, but these commands may also be useful: | **Command** | **Description** | | ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | `/petblock` | Opens the main menu for your selected pet | | `/petblocks create classic` | Creates a new pet | | `/petblocks spawn ` | Spawns one of your pets | | `/petblocks despawn ` | Despawns one of your pets | | `/petblocks call ` | Calls your pet back to you | | `/petblocks ride ` | Rides your pet | | `/petblocks unmount ` | Dismounts your pet | | `/petblocks hat ` | Wears your pet as a hat | `/petblockmenu` can also be used as an alias for `/petblock`, while the main PetBlocks command additionally accepts `/pet` and `/pets`.
