Companions!
by Xylonity
Companions! adds ten tameable creatures with special abilities, plus hostile mobs, weapons, a boss and a set of Magic blocks for Tesla Network and grail crafting.
What it does
Tamed creatures called companions each carry a special ability. Companions can be healed with Small Essence and Great Essence, which drop from killing hostile mobs. Companions spawned by other companions cannot be healed. Each companion can be set to roam freely, stay put, or trail its owner. For summoned companions, the owner chooses whether they trail the companion or the player.
The mod also brings a grail cauldron that uses copper ingots, a chalice furnace that cooks items into soul-like forms, and parts of a Tesla Network that generate current between pillars and provide limited recall platforms. Companions! requires Geckolib and Knight Lib, and it runs on client and server. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20 – 1.21.1, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Anti Magick: Companions depends on this mod, so both need to be present together. Recipe viewing is easier with JEI, which the author recommends for checking the recipes of every item.
