Act
by Lumaa
Act lets players spawn Actor entities into a singleplayer world or server, where they can act on behalf of the player.
What it does
Act adds an Actor entity that can be placed in a world to follow the player's commands and defend them against hostile mobs. An Actor deals knockback to a damaged entity, which makes it useful as a simple companion in fights. The author describes future versions where Actors would move along a user-defined path.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need the jar. Fabric API is required. Act is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.19.4 and latest version 1.3.0, released 2023-05-19 under the MIT License. Its source code and issue tracker are publicly available.
The author notes that loading the Actor adds almost no server tick time, so the TPS drop stays negligible once loading completes.
