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.

    I'm getting more frequent failures when hearthing and taking flight paths, where the event doesn't trigger the button to pop up.

    I was wondering why the addon didn't work... I found it...
    Please update the TOC-version to ## Interface: 30200 , instead of 32000. :)

    I'm sorry to say this, but I wonder if you even read the comments...
    Again, the toc-file has the interface set at 32000 instead the working 30200.

    But thank you for updating though. I love the mod.

    And again, the 189 beta has also the version set to 32000 instead of 30200...

    Still love the addon, but too bad you dont want to read feedback...

    And as expected, the 194 beta has again the not-edited TOC file.

    Still love the addon though. :)

    Would love to see a toggle for raid/group. Prefer not to have a pet out if I am raiding.

    This release has also the wrong toc version-info. Please change the line in the Toc file into
    ## Interface: 30100
    or everybody not checking "use out of date addons" will not be able to use it. Here on Curse your release also states "Game version 3.0.9"...
    Thank you though for the addon, I recommended it to a lot of persons and all seem very happy with it. :)

  • I'm getting the same problem and because of this cannot configure MP at all past how I already configured it. I find, however, if I fiddle around with the sliders and options and then reload UI, I seem to have changed something. I'll try to get an error log, I don't usually see them due to the awsomeness that is !BugGrabber.

    Thank you for updating the addon, I really love it, but please update the version number in the Toc file as well.. Because of some other addons causing problems, I cannot check the "Load out of date addons".

    I don't suppose we could get a TOC bump for this...?

    can you add the behavior of Petleash
    http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/petleash.aspx

    and the check list type of feature like in collectme
    http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/collect_me.aspx

    as a major pet collector i wish i had one addon to do all of the things that these three addons do in one central addon package and not have 3 where some features are duplicated each one has their claim to fame and it would be nice to have a super pet addon :D

  • Request: Make it possible for subzones to have favorites? (For example, Construct Quarter in Naxx, Halls of Winter in Ulduar, etc)

    Love the addon! Thanks!

    I've not seen an update of this popular addon (at least for me) yet, but changing the toc file with the line "## Interface: 30100" did make it function again.
