Waifu Story
by racxus
Waifu Story adds recruitable companion characters that fight beside the player, carry items and stay in the world after they are recruited.
What it does
Waifus are friendly entities that players recruit and manage. Once recruited, a companion stays in the world until it is defeated or killed in combat, so the same character accompanies the player through the game rather than being summoned for a single fight. Companions are meant to act as active, intelligent allies, and they can be given consumables and gear that they use to keep themselves going.
In combat, a companion protects the player, fights alongside it and provides damage output while drawing enemy attention away from the player. Companions also have simple behaviors: one follows the player and fights, another holds its position until told otherwise, and in the late game a companion seeks out a bed to sleep near. The mod runs on NeoForge and is published for 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, with 1.2 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Client and server both need it, and the code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, which does not make it open source.
