Tiny Pals
by alexVR
Tiny Pals lets players tame small creepers that carry TNT, pick up items and follow them around.
What it does
Tiny creatures spawn as neutral mobs that throw TNT around. A creeper picks up a TNT block and can then be tamed, after which it becomes a loyal companion. A tamed creeper can carry a backpack to store items, which keeps the pet useful as well as cute. When a tamed creeper dies it leaves behind a talisman that can be used to summon it again, so a favorite pet can be kept around even after a battle.
Rain, fire and lightning are part of how the new creatures appear: an allay struck by lightning during rain or under clear skies is one way to obtain one. Baby ghasts are added as small ghast variants, and the mod plans spawn structures for the allays. Tiny Pals is for players who want a little extra cuteness and convenience in the Minecraft experience.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.20.1 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Both the server and every player need it, because the creatures and their backpacks are synced between sides.
