Minecraft Story Mod
by ErrorGhostX
Minecraft Story Mod, by ErrorGhostX, gives Minecraft characters facial expressions, moods and a reputation system, styled after Minecraft Story Mode.
What it does
Mobs spawn with dynamic moods, and their emotions react to damage taken near friends. A basic reputation system is present: hitting a character lowers its opinion of the player, and talking to it changes that opinion again. NPCs that pick up items, put on armor and eat food are not in the current beta yet; the author lists these behaviors as future work.
Players open a customization grid to change character parts, and an emotion wheel with 12 emotion buttons around a center toggle. Faces are rendered from OBJ models, so transitions between expressions are continuous and smooth. Petra and Jesse NPCs stand together and show expressions on their faces.
The mod is for Fabric on game version 1.21.11 only, in beta. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
