Player's Paradox

Each Echo carries one of three personalities: passive, neutral or aggressive. The personality is set by the player's actions during gameplay, such as killing players, animals or villagers, trading with villagers, or petting a dog. Some specific events, like sleeping or killing a certain creature, also count toward it. Echoes tend to stay at a distance and follow the player, and they may try to run away when approached.

A neutral Echo that gets too close can switch to an aggressive state when provoked and eventually start attacking. A passive Echo may talk to the player and give some goods. The command for summoning an Echo lets the player bring one in directly, and the mod's config controls how often they spawn, with different probability requirements.

The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with a single file, 1.2, published on 2025-10-22. It runs on client and server, and it works in multiplayer, where server owners can tweak values through the config. The code is open source under the MIT License.
