This mod needs petai to work.

 

Intro

This Mod adds the possibility to tame bears. You can tame all greater bears. They currently do basic things like follow you around and attack monsters.

Planned features:

  • breeding
  • balancing
  • actual Panserbjørn (backpacks, armor, saddles)
    • If someone wants to Voxel Armor feel free!
  • Autonomous behavior (Bears might start to smith or guard your base on their own)
  • Addon for VSVillage as Panserbjørn village
  • Quests

 

I'm gladly taking help with translations. Language I already provide are:

  • english
  • german

There's a current bug where if something takes my brown bear down I can not pick him up, he also does not display the down animation, and the menu says he's 24/65 health, however he does not walk or play any animations at all.

💬 Zuric, Apr 17th at 8:21 PM

upon further testing, as soon as a polar or grizzly bear was tamed it immediately shrunk and was no longer able to climb up snow covered blocks, and their size is listed as small. its as if the game is treating them like they are the size of chickens or hares. seems like a major issue as i am on the latest version of this mod and 1.20.7

 

💬 Zuric, Apr 17th at 8:42 AM

so i ran into a problem with polar bears not eating meat of any kind and when i checked the config i couldnt find any mention of that so i added red meat to that list which was fine, but after i tamed it, i tried to lead it home only to realize that its size is "small" and it couldnt even step up over 1 block high steps with a snow layer which is super disappointing.I have no idea how to fix that and it would be awesome if you could change that somehow. really awesome mod but i probably wont bother with it if my damn bear cant even make it over a tiny patch of snow lol

💬 Syd , Mar 16th at 4:04 PM

I'd also like to know which mod. I would put it into the disclaimer.

 

About the roadmap. I'll make a list of planned features, but real life keeps me from actually working on the code of the mod.

💬 Costardine, Mar 5th at 10:13 AM

what mod was the bad interaction, I'm having the same issue Thanious

💬 Blaankket, Mar 3rd at 7:26 AM

Hey! Awesome mod, man. I'm wondering if you have any form of timeline for planned updates. I just tamed my first black bear, Smokey. Pretty excited to get him outfitted and thrash some no0bs.

💬 Thanious, Feb 27th at 4:07 AM

I'm using petai v2.2.6

 

Edit: I figured it out. There was a bad interaction with another mod. It's working just fine now. Thanks!

💬 Syd , Feb 26th at 6:25 PM

Thanious thanks for mentioning it here as well (I don't get a notification on gitlab for some reason). I had that bug as well, while developing it, but it was only, when I had a mismatched version with PetAI. What version of PetAI do you have?

💬 Thanious, Feb 26th at 4:22 AM

I posted this on the issues page, but i figured i'd post here as well just in case someone knows what's up

I'm having problems taming a male brown bear that I successfully trapped. I can't seem to feed it anything. I've tried redmeat, bushmeat, berries, honeycomb, etc. There's not even a tooltip or option to tame it. I know petai is working right with other mods, but I'm not sure about this one. I'm on 1.9.8 and am using v0.9.4 of the mod.

💬 Pell, Feb 24th at 5:26 PM

will the bears be able to smith in future updates? iykyk :)

💬 LiothTheBrave, Feb 23rd at 11:26 PM

I certainly hope you put breeding in next before any other features. I'm running Long Term Foods and the bushmeat would really be useful for Pemmican.

💬 Syd , Jan 18th at 7:57 PM

 have to update the mod to work with petai 3.0 I can't guarrantee it to work for 1.20 currently. I'm aware and try to fix it as soon as possible.

💬 HariSeldon, Jan 15th at 9:03 AM

Hi, does it work on 1v.20.x? Thank you all :)

💬 Didgereedank, Jan 5th at 12:21 AM

Just found this mod, awesome mod can wait to ride a bear or caravan my stuff around on its back

💬 iBTwizzled, Nov 28th 2024 at 9:12 PM

Syd yeah it looks like the male black bear just does not want to eat anything. I fed it once but now I can no longer tend to it. At least I am able to pet it to increase the obedience for now, I am trying to tame a brown bear to see if it has the same problem.

💬 Syd , Nov 9th 2024 at 3:46 PM

I'm back playing vintage story. I'll continue to update this mod. sorry for not being active. I gues everyone know how it is to play a game for a while and then not playing it, but also reaaaally having no motivation to keep a mod updated for a game you don't want to play rn.

 

anyways thanks for your patience.

💬 RomixERR, Jul 30th 2024 at 6:37 AM

The bear behaves strangely after being tamed. He sometimes goes into the water and drowns there.

UPDATE:

Сhanged the height of the eyes in the mod file manually...

APanserbjornStory-v0.9.2-1.19.zip\assets\apanserbjornstory\entities\land\tame-bear.json -> "swimmingEyeHeight": 1.2,

💬 Perdous, Apr 13th 2024 at 2:58 PM

I really like this mod and I hope there will be more development to it since armors, backpacks and saddles would really epic to have. One problem I encountered though is that after a while I cannot feed my black bears.

💬 Yuzu, Mar 24th 2024 at 8:23 PM

It seems like the male black bear spam follows you after taming and continues to run into you if you stand still, which pushes you around. It even glitch teleports though doors and i had to relog twice to get the follow spam to stop. The honey combs don't work for feeding the bear and feeding after you tame it seems pretty glitchy. The bear doesn't need to be tended again message doesn't always pop up when i try to feed it and it won't take the meat. I'm not sure if the black bears are just broken or it's a known issue or if there is anything that can be done to help fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

💬 ParallelPenguins, Mar 20th 2024 at 2:13 PM

Syd  It was a black bear, I'm pretty sure. This was two weeks ago now so I might be wrong, but I think it was a black bear. I think it was male too.

💬 Syd , Mar 16th 2024 at 12:49 PM

ParallelPenguins can you tell me which subkind of bear it was (black, panda) and maybe even the gender. I haven't tested with all bears (it is tedious, when they all want to kill you) and might have missed a combination.

💬 ParallelPenguins, Mar 5th 2024 at 11:30 PM

So I got a bear tamed... and it disappeared. Fed it the last raw meat and the chat said I had tamed it, but it just poofed out of existence. I'm not sure why. Any advice?

💬 Syd , Feb 21st 2024 at 3:35 PM

Iver should not happen with the latest version, but I can look into it expects a version with 2 '.' and I only put "1.19" instead of "1.19.0" in one version because I was hoping it will catch all of 1.19

rayray they eat. honeycomb, cranberries, blueberries, raw redmeat, raw poultry, perfect meat petcookies and perfect veggie petcookies. I have to add edible items manually in and bears... well would usually eat everything even pandas and I haven't figured out how to do that or if I want that.

💬 rayray, Feb 20th 2024 at 6:39 PM

how do you feed him after taming ? ive tried many meats, now he is starving weight thin about to die 

💬 Iver, Feb 15th 2024 at 6:31 AM

"14.2.2024 22:18:18 [Warning] [apanserbjornstory] Dependency 'game': Failed parsing version string '1.19' at index 4: Expected PATCH version, found end of string (best guess: 1.19.0)"

In 1.19.3.

💬 Bl0ckparty, Feb 6th 2024 at 6:22 AM

Hurrah, Wojtek!!!!!  Can't wait for the accessories!!

💬 Syd , Jan 28th 2024 at 10:04 AM

EvilToast sorry. I'm on it. I just reached the same issue. (the reason was I had to change the modid after I was done with the core and forgot to rename the part, where your bear switched to being tamed) It will be fixed in the next version.

 

you have to ask your admin to do a "/giveitem petai:magicbone", which you can then use to click on the buggy bears after the update to fix that behavior.

💬 EvilToast, Jan 28th 2024 at 12:11 AM

I've been having some issues, when the bear gets to 100% the naming prompt doesn't appear and it doesn't tame the bear, it still attacks me. I tested the polar, brown, and black bear and it's the same thing for all of them. No other mods except pet AI (v1.19.3), does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? :o

💬 Brick, Jan 27th 2024 at 7:07 PM

As much as I hate bears when I attempt wilderness survival hardcore, if I manage to survive long enough and tame a bunch of bears... Its gonna be awesome!

💬 Aksyl, Jan 27th 2024 at 5:13 PM

If anyone's upset about realism, kindly look up Wojtek.

💬 XurxoMF, Jan 26th 2024 at 9:51 PM

Thx a lot for the info, I love the idea! I'll add it to my next server lol 🤩

💬 Syd , Jan 26th 2024 at 9:43 PM

XurxoMF there is a taming guide in the Book and yes you have to "capture" an adult bear. Yes it will hurt you, but then you have a very strong ally in the end.

💬 XurxoMF, Jan 26th 2024 at 8:41 PM

How can you tame bears? You need to fed an adult bear or a bear cub? If the second one... you've to buy it like wolf pups or you need to find one?

💬 Reverhaus, Jan 26th 2024 at 8:20 PM

You dont' pet the bear, the bear pets you 😂

💬 Ritzga, Jan 26th 2024 at 5:15 PM

huuge furry friend!

💬 AzuliBluespots, Jan 26th 2024 at 5:14 PM

YES, COMRADE BEAR!!
