Tribes & Legions: Tame Mobs, Build Your Tribe!
by patcore
Tribes & Legions lets players tame mobs and build a personal tribe of companions on NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
Each player gets a UUID-owned tribe that is created automatically. Once captured, a creature becomes a tribe member and retains its gear, owner, current command, assigned home spot, friendship tier and learned abilities from one play session to the next. A real-time tribe menu opens with the Y key and offers Inventory, Recall, Find, Mode and Abandon actions. Shift and right click cycles the selected command mode.
Six modes govern how a companion acts: Passive, Follow, Move, Stay, Guard and Aggressive. Friendship grows through ten heart levels, adding permanent stat growth and three skill slots, and titles and colored hearts show progress. Death and dimension changes are handled through respawning, FOLLOW and MOVE transfers, and owner changes. The mod is built for NeoForge and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.1 only, with 3.0.2 as the latest beta release.
Capture uses Binding Shackles in six tiers from Wood to Netherite. Higher binding tiers raise the odds of a successful capture; the target's maximum health sets how hard it is to catch, and a healthier trap in active use makes the attempt easier to set up. The final capture chance is capped at 95 percent. Universal capture covers many vanilla and modded living creatures.
