Golden Treats

Golden Treats are special food items used to tame mobs and heal tamed pets. There are nine distinct treats in Petting, each targeting different categories of mobs through data-driven entity type tags (petting:tames_with/<treat>).

All golden treats share several common characteristics:
- Max Stack Size: 64
- Rarity: Rare (aqua item name)
- Visual Glint: Permanent enchantment foil effect
- Creative Tab: Located in the "Petting" creative tab
- Healing Power: When right-clicked on an injured pet you own, consumes 1 treat and restores 50% of the pet's maximum health (or 25% for a Golden Ender Dragon using a Golden Star).

Treat Selection & Fallback Rules

When you right-click a mob with a treat, the game evaluates whether the treat matches:

1. Tag Match: If the mob's entity type is listed in petting:tames_with/<treat>, the treat is valid.
2. Untameable Check: If the entity is in the server configuration untameableEntities list, no treat can tame it.
3. Ender Dragon Check: An untamed wild Ender Dragon cannot be tamed directly by holding a treat. (See Golden Dragon Egg for the summoning ritual).
4. Other Tag Check: If the mob is explicitly registered in another treat's tames_with tag, it will not accept a mismatched treat.
5. Universal Fallback Matching (for modded or untagged mobs):
6. Max Health > 300 HP: Requires Golden Star.
7. Hostile Mobs: Requires Golden Bone.
8. All Other Mobs: Requires Golden Wheat.
