Ever since we went to 1.7.9, EchoPet has been having some issues. It consistently throws up errors in the server console, and crashes the server. Also, when a player dies whilst having a human pet, the player (and those in their vicinity), get kicked from the server.

We have reason to believe that if we continue to use the current version of EchoPet, it may cause chunk corruption, which we don't want.

I hope these issues can be fixed because (when working properly), it's a great plugin!

EchoPet is in the process of an over haul of its code and api. A lot of things will be fixed that most are experiencing. Takes time do a rewrite however to optimize it, make code cleaner and easier to work with as well as the api.

Update to a later release or a development build :). Many of the crashes reported have been resolved.
