A datapack for protecting tamed cats from harm in toggleable ways, with some abstractions from the entity type to more easily extend it to others in the future
Tested on version 1.20.1 with the BCG modpack (shouldn't be required)
- Regeneration I
- Water Breathing
- Fire Resistance
- Resistance I
- Highest possible level of resistance
Just set the flag then give the proper tag to a single armor stand and it will determine the armor to grant in real time
Chat messages will guide you as to which tag(s) to give it and warn you if no armor stand – or too many – can be found!
- Totems of Undying (count parameterable within reasonable bounds)
- Ability (and requirement) to physically give the totems or armor
All accessed through clicks on specific chat messages
or manually with /trigger
- Get a report of the current protection policies and armor sets (and toggle warnings for when they change)
- Check how many incomplete runs – if any – the pack detected

Other functions are simply an easier access to player "commands"
* for now, cats, with a second count for tamed ones
** In-depth explanation:
the reload command processes files for all datapacks again,
which can be long if others are installed,
so to call this one's loading logic again
(typically when suggested by a message),
you may use function ninelives:soft_reload,
which is equivalent to function #minecraft:load
if you have no other datapack installed
reload is still necessary if you've made changes to the files
Warnings when the protection policies – or armor sets – change
- Still works if they were changed while they were away
- Can be turned off (or back on) at their choosing
- Detects if scoreboards or storage were broken and waits until a reload to run
- Should recover from any damage on reload if not automatically
- Detects incomplete runs if the remaining command count budget is very limited
- Issues warning/error messages when an issue is detected, with steps to fix it
