Acidic Boyfriends

Boyfriend mobs spawn randomly across the world, and a player tames one by clicking it, which is temporary rather than permanent. Once tamed, the boyfriend follows its owner and sits down when the owner sits. Clicking a tamed boyfriend while holding food heals it, so food serves as the way to keep a companion in good health. Taming and healing both use the right-click interaction, so no crafting or separate tool is needed.

A tamed boyfriend that has not reached its maximum health emits smoke particles, and one at full health emits heart particles, which makes its condition readable at a glance. The mod is built on StationAPI and requires it to run, so StationAPI must be installed alongside Acidic Boyfriends. It is released for Minecraft b1.7.3 only, and it runs on the client and the server. A config file lets server owners adjust the spawn rates of the boyfriends, and a multiplayer fix was contributed by DanyGames2014.

The code is open source under the MIT License, and snapshot builds are published alongside the stable release. The mod was first published on 2025-02-02 and last updated on the same date. Because the environment is client and server, a multiplayer server and every player need the mod.
