Zoni's Companions
by ZoniCraft
Zoni's Companions lets players summon character-based companions that follow them, fight alongside them and can be recalled to a Summon Device.
What it does
Companions are crafted from items, summoned into the world and equipped with weapons and armor so they can help in battle. A companion that is knocked out can be lost, and the Summon Device keeps a long-empty inventory that returns the companion safely so it can be summoned again. A Companion Pendant tells a companion to follow the player or stop following.
Each companion has its own special ability that triggers on hits. Abilities include a rising level strength that builds from consecutive hits, healing on hit, poison or wither on hit, regeneration for allies, faster attacks and movement, a short immobilizing effect, extra damage against low-health targets, knocking mobs into the air, a chance to cause an explosion, breaking shields to gain strength, weakness and slowness on hit, permanent resistance with taunting, extra damage to enemies, and marking enemies so they take more damage.
The characters are inspired by anime and games, including Bocchi Rock, Sword Art Online, Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves and the character Hu Tao. The mod runs on the Forge loader only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the server and every player need it. Zoni's Companions is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
