Chiikawa

Chiikawa adds the characters of the Chiikawa series to the world. Players wander the world, meet them, and can try taming them. Some tamed characters accept food and become pets that keep the player company. A pet can be given orders, and it responds in one of three ways: following its owner, holding its spot where it was placed, or wandering near home on its own schedule.

Each pet takes on a job when given a tool, such as farming, hunting or playing music. Pets can also live the Chiikawa way, going to work to earn money, going shopping, sitting exams to earn licences, and bringing presents. Fabric API is required on all three loaders, which are Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The mod runs on both sides, so the server and every player need it. Players who join a world for the first time receive Chiikawa's Work Handbook, and right-clicking it opens the instructions.

Files are published for 14 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, with beta builds for each loader. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the mod is not open source. The author describes it as an unofficial fan-made mod, affiliated with the Nagano creator and the rights holders, and states that the Chiikawa characters belong to their creator.
