MiniPet supports ButtonFacade, use /bf to configure the skin and color settings for the button if you have it installed.

MiniPet supports LibKeyBound, use /kb to enter key binding mode.

MiniPet's button will stick to other frames that support LibStickyFrames.

MiniPet outputs the current item it will use using LibDataBroker-1.1. Note that clicking on the item in a Broker addon will not activate the item. You must have MiniPet bound to a key to use it in a Broker addon and hide its own button.

Known Issues

  • Alerts do not work when entering non-instanced portals, such as the portal in the Stormwind mage tower.
  • Changes to the randomizer means that it will sometimes pick the same companion many times in a row. This is intentional.
