RolyPoly
by MagicalGeck0
RolyPoly, a Fabric mob mod for Minecraft 1.21.1, adds a tameable isopod that players can keep as a companion.
What it does
Isopods added by the mod can be tamed and kept around the base, where they scare off certain hostile mobs such as creepers and zombies with a squeak when nearby. Tamed isopods also protect crops from small pests. The mob is credited to a concept originally proposed by WhimsyNymph. Because the mod runs on both client and server, the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The only published Fabric file targets 1.21.1 and was first released on 2025-07-27.
