Shelf Friends
Shelf Friends lets players craft small critters and keep them on shelves at home, as decoration for a quiet house or mansion.
What it does
Shelf Friends adds crafted critters that players place on shelves, so a home can hold a few companions instead of an empty room. The mod is built for Fabric on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and the server and every player need it, since the environment is client and server. Its single file is a beta build released on 2024-09-22, and the code is licensed under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Crafted critters
Little critters are made at a crafting table, so players choose which friends to build and keep.
Shelf placement
Critters sit on shelves in the home, filling spaces that would otherwise look bare in a large build.
Fish tank support
Fish tanks work with Sodium, so the aquarium side of a shelf display runs alongside that renderer.
