BondCraft
Players who want companions in a monster-filled world can recruit defeated enemies into BondCraft, a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that centers on monster recruitment and party building.
What it does
Defeating monsters yields Bond Certificates, which turn former enemies into allies. Recruited monsters fill a fighting group of at most three, and any monster outside that group waits in a reserve. Each monster brings its own type, role and abilities, along with passive effects that change how the team fights and explores.
The mod follows a Main Quest that begins in the Plains Chapter. Players learn about contracts, meet residents of the Starting Village and investigate mysterious purple portals that leave strange traces behind. Creatures from unknown worlds and dimensions appear through them, and dedicated Battlefields hold the enemies that guard the investigation. Later Main Quest chapters are planned to expand these mysteries.
BondCraft is published for Fabric 1.20.1 and requires Fabric API and Geckolib to run. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its 1.9.0 file, dated 2026-10-09, is the latest build.
