Companion Mod
by FLAME76
Companion Mod lets players tame Creepers, which are normally excluded from the undead group, and turn them into pets that follow the player.
What it does
Creepers are not treated as undead, so the mod gives them a chance to become tame companions instead of hostile mobs. A tamed Creeper follows its owner around and can be kept as a pet. Precious Cookies are crafted from ingredients and fed to Creepers to tame them, and eating one gives the player a short Ignore Effect that makes hostile mobs disregard them.
The mod also adds the Necromancer's Staff, a tool with two functions. A primary attack fires at the aimed target, while a special attack sends out a beam. Holding the staff, sneaking and right-clicking after aiming at an entity marks it, and companions then attack that enemy until it is killed. The Totem Creeper is a related item that lets a player keep a companion safe. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric on 1.21 only, with version 1.0.0 released on 2025-09-21.

Creeper Alert is a client-side only mod, released under All rights reserved and built for 1.21.5 alone, so servers do not need it. Firestaff is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, while Companion Mod is open source and covers 1.21 only.
