Shape Shifter‘s Compass
by MangZai-120
Shape Shifter's Compass is a Fabric client mod that puts a large language model assistant in the game, opened from a compass-style window bound to the K key by default.
What it does
The compass opens a chat assistant that can answer questions from a built-in knowledge base covering forms, evolution, mechanics and commands. The assistant can read the player's inventory, equipment and cooldowns, and when cheats are enabled it can execute commands such as locating structures or giving items. Extra entries can be added by placing Markdown files in a dedicated knowledge directory.
The mod depends on Fabric API. Shape Shifter Curse and Shape Shifter Curse Addon are optional companions; installing them adds the matching tools and knowledge entries. Trinkets is a soft dependency for the addon's equipment reading. Language model access uses an OpenAI-compatible API, so the player picks a provider preset or a custom endpoint. The file versions are for 1.20.1 only.
Key features
Built-in knowledge base
Entries on forms, evolution, mechanics, commands and core topics answer questions without leaving the game.
Chat window in WeChat style
Messages appear in bubbles with a typewriter effect, a session list, inline editing and regeneration of past replies.
Locked assistant identity
The system prompt keeps the assistant in the Compass role, so it stays in character whatever the player types.
Provider presets
Switch with one click among several hosted providers and custom endpoints, with DeepSeek V4 Flash listed as the recommended model.
Movable floating button
The floating ball can be dragged anywhere on screen, and font opacity, width and height are set with sliders.
Silent command feedback
Feedback from AI commands goes only to the backend log and never appears in the player's chat.
