Tameable Circuit Backport
by skishel
Tameable Circuit Backport brings a tameable circuit creature to Forge for 1.20.1, a port of a mob from an earlier mod by RedstoneWizard08.
What it does
Players can keep a circuit as a pet after taming it, in the way the original mod describes. The backport requires Geckolib for its animated model, and The Broken Script is an optional dependency that the author notes name as a companion. Both client and server need the mod, so the server runs it and every player who joins installs it too.
The backport is built only for Forge and only for 1.20.1, with a single release, file 1.2, dated 2025-09-01. The first file was published on 2025-08-30. The author notes that some features of the original, such as naming circuits, are still to be added, and that a circuit explodes on death with a large radius that can kill players standing near it. The code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
