About Inventory Pets
Inventory Pets are new items, which there are over 60 of. You can find them inside of Chests mostly, specifically in locations provided by the mod.

There’s Dungeons that can be found in some locations. Try searching for the Nether Dungeon, Sea Cave, Sky Dungeon, Space Dungeon among a few other locations. They’re guarded locations, but the Chests will contain Inventory Pets.
However, there are crafting recipes too for each Inventory Pet. Therefor, it’s definitely worth installing Just Enough Items, so you can see the recipe of each pet.
When using the ability of an Inventory Pets, its durability will decrease. Once it reaches 0, it will no longer work. You’ll need to place that specific Pets favorite food in your inventory, and then it will be usable again. Hover over each Pet to see their abilities and favorite food, or read below.
