[Mod] Longer Following Time (1.20.1 - 1.21.1)

If you've always wanted Minecraft animals to follow you, even if you've changed the item in your hand due to danger, or accidentally, the Longer Following Time mod will be useful.

Longer Following Time is a simple mod created by jason13official & Lupin, which allows you to increase the time animals (chickens, sheep, cows, pigs, etc.) follow you when you have the appropriate food in your hand. Every player has had to bring animals from a specific location to their base. The journeys can sometimes be long, and dangers are present, day and night. Changing items to ward off danger or simply accidentally causes the animals to stop following you, even though they should, at least for a certain duration (a few seconds minimum).
The Longer Following Time mod allows you to increase this minimum duration by 4 seconds. Of course, this duration is configurable in the config folder of your .minecraft file. From now on, pets will follow you (according to the duration you set), even if you change the item in your hand, which is very convenient.

Installation Guide

- Windows : To install Longer Following Time, you must first download and install one of the three APIs (Fabric – Forge – NeoForge).

- Fabric : Download the installer from the official website (link above). Create your Fabric profile with the version of your choice. Fabric requires its API (also linked above), so you must download it. Once your profile is created with the version of your choice, press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, type %appdata% in the search bar, and find your .minecraft folder. Once inside, locate the mods folder and drag the Fabric API and Longer Following Time inside. Launch the game with the Fabric profile (you can modify it later), and check that everything works correctly.

- Forge : Download the installer from the official website (again, the link is above). Create your profile with the version of your choice. Forge doesn't have any additional APIs, so you can directly press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, type %appdata% in the search bar, and find your .minecraft folder. Once inside, locate the mods folder and drag Longer Following Time inside. Launch the game with the Forge profile (you can change it later), and check that everything works correctly.

- NeoForge : These are the same instructions as with Forge. Download the installer from the official website (again, the link is above). Create your profile with the version of your choice. NeoForge doesn't have any additional APIs, so you can directly press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, type %appdata% in the search bar, and find your .minecraft folder. Once inside, locate the mods folder and drag Longer Following Time inside. Launch the game with the Forge profile (you can change it later), and check that everything works correctly.
