VH Companion Workstation
by lawliet__
VH Companion Workstation adds a Companion Workbench and a Companion Recycler for handling companions in the Vault Hunters modpack, a Forge addon for 1.18.2.
What it does
Players use the new table to break down companions they no longer want, along with companion-related items. Inserting a retired companion into the Recycler returns a decorative trophy item and a Companion Essence. Relic particles can also be recycled, and the Recycler turns them into Companion Fragments, so the recycling chain forms a full loop with the workbench.
The Companion Workbench uses Companion Essence to craft new companion eggs, giving another chance at a companion with a better roll, and it uses Companion Fragments to craft new relic particles. Recycling is permanent, and items equipped inside a companion processed by the Recycler are lost with it. Recipes on the workbench, including the cost of eggs and relic particles, are set in the mod's config files, so server owners can tune the costs to the server economy.
The addon is designed for the Vault Hunters 3rd edition modpack and requires Vault Hunters to be installed. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need the mod. Files are published for Forge 1.18.2 under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
