Create: Mechanical Companion

Wearing the Mechanical Wolf Link in a Curios head slot brings the wolf out, and a wrench used on its module interface restores its health. Modules are grouped into four categories, and a wolf can carry modules from two different categories at once. The module menu cannot be opened by other players, and a wolf can be named with a nametag. Two easter egg skins are included.

The mod gives the wolf more health and armor, a fire-immune reinforced plating variant, extra fire damage on its default attack, and a shock response against attackers. Other modules add a smart crossbow that only hits its target, a speed boost with a short cooldown, teleportation, a glowing ping for nearby hostile entities, a portable light, and slow regeneration that needs no manual healing. The light and some modules do not work underwater or in dense foliage.

Create and Curios API are required, and the mod must be installed alongside Create's CuriosAPI build on Forge 47.3.10. Create: Mechanical Companion runs on client and server and is published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License; the source code is public. The wolf's parts can also come from the Illager Workshop, a map found through cartographers and wandering traders, which adds two new Illager mobs.
