Piglin companion
by wizardVadim
Piglin companion lets players tame a piglin that wears armor, carries weapons and a bow, and fights hostile mobs alongside the player.
What it does
A piglin is tamed by offering gold, and the tamed piglin then defends its owner against hostile mobs. It can take armor, weapons, a bow and shields, and equipment can be swapped in its inventory. Attack animations and a custom AI behavior control how it fights, and a name tag renames it so the name appears above its head.
The companion can be healed with gold ingots, gold nuggets and gold ore blocks. A leveling system tracks its progress as it fights alongside the player. The mod is intended for players who would rather travel with a loyal sidekick than alone.
Installation needs Forge. The server and every player need the mod installed. The source code is public, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source.
