# Vanilla Mobs as Pets

### Can I give vanilla mob pets to my players?

Yes! Since version 2.0.0, vanilla mobs are now supported as pets.

### How to set up a vanilla mob as a pet?

Very simple! All you need to do is create a file in AdvancedPets' plugin folder. Go to `your server/plugins/AdvancedPets/customMobs` , you will need to create a file called `<mob name>.amob`, e.g. `Zombie.amob` and use this format inside:

<pre class="language-yaml" data-title="Zombie.amob" data-overflow="wrap" data-line-numbers><code class="lang-yaml"><strong>settings:
</strong>  sounds: ZOMBIE
  mobtype: ZOMBIE
  nametagHeight: 0

skins:
parts:
</code></pre>

Don't worry about the file extension - it's still a text file but using `.amob` our model format. Set `mobtype` and `sounds` to your vanilla mob's type, then save this file and restart.
