Witchery: Companion

by SmokeyTheBandicoot

Witchery: Companion is a bug-fix and extension add-on for the 1.12.2 Witchery mod, and it installs next to that mod rather than replacing it.

What it does

The companion mod targets known faults in Witchery, including altar disconnection, triggered dispersal brews that were applied to tripwires and tile entities, familiars losing their owners after a world reload, and ghost entities that change dimensions. Its own changelog lists these fixes, and it adds integrations with JEI, JER and One Probe.

The project grew out of Witchery: Resurrected, a recreation of the original mod that stays close to its 1.12.2 behavior. The author describes Resurrected as mostly finished content-wise but affected by many small bugs that make it hard to use in large modpacks, and this companion adds the fixes on top. Development is still active, with a stated aim of making Witchery: Resurrected more modpack-ready and customizable. A non-exhaustive feature list is kept in the GitHub repository.

Installation needs Witchery, MixinBooter and the original Witchery mod placed in the resourcepacks folder. Witchery: Companion runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, and the latest build is 0.36.2-beta for 1.12.2, from the beta channel, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license (not open source).

  1. Altar disconnection fix

What the author says

Witchery: Companion is a companion mod for the Witchery: Resurrected mod, a faithful 1.12.2 recreation of the Witchery mod. Unfortunately, while the mod is mostly finished content-wise, it is infested with many little (and important) bugs that really makes it not ready for large modpack usage. This is when this mod…
