Gary, The Pet Rock
by TeelOStudiOS
Gary, The Pet Rock lets players craft a pet rock from pebbles and googly eyes, then raise a companion mob named Gary that wanders and digs for resources.
What it does
Gary is a mob that follows the player through a set of adventures. Players make him by crafting a pet rock from a pebble and a googly eye at a crafting table, and nine pet rocks are needed to produce Gary. Once he is out, he moves around the world, can travel through thousands of blocks underground, and searches for petroleum that becomes plastic for new googly eyes.
The googly eyes come from clear plastic, which players obtain through a new flower that turns into clear dye. The mod also changes stone gathering: pebbles are described as an endless source, which makes stone farmable. The content is meant for solo players and servers that want an expressive companion mob to join in the adventures.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 26.1.2, under All rights reserved and not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It has no required dependencies beyond NeoForge itself.

Googly eyes from clear dye
A new flower yields clear dye, clear plastic is made from it, and the plastic becomes googly eyes for crafting.
Farmable stone

What the author says
Gary, The Pet Rock includes many adventures making, and with your new friend, Gary. Gary is a very expressive and interseting mob. Also there is a glitch where you can get infinite pebbles, aka infinite stone, aka making stone farmable now but anyway... To get Gary you have to go through thousands of blocks…
