About Companions!
From ModrinthA mod that adds 10 new tamable creatures called companions!
Companions! is a mod that adds 10 tameable creatures, each with special abilities, hostile mobs with unique skills, new weapons, a boss, and much more.
Mod versions 1.19.2 and 1.21.1 are coming very soon
The mod JEI (which this mod is compatible with) is recommended for viewing the recipes of all items within the game.
Companions can be healed using Small Essence and Great Essence, obtained by killing hostile mobs. Summoned companions (spawned by companions) cannot be healed. All companions have three states: wandering, sitting, and following the player. For summoned companions, you can choose whether they follow the companion or the player.
The mod is highly configurable through the config file. For any questions, problems, contributions, new ideas about content/mods, and more, you can join our official Discord and comment in the appropriate channels.
The Great Chalice
Craftable as if you were making a cauldron, but with copper ingots. This block can be filled by interacting with it either using great essence or small essence, both obtained by killing monsters. When it is completely full, you can fill an "empty grail", thus obtaining a filled grail, which is an item required by some recipes.
Soul Furnace
This special furnace can be filled by placing a chalice on top of it,, and filling it. It can cook different things into their soul-like state, such as the big bread, that can be cooked into a weird croissant "egg"? What would that be for...
Frog Bonanza
A frog-shaped bonanza. I swear its shape reminds me of something... Too bad there's no color reward at all, because I'd go all in on red without even thinking.
Voltaic Pillar
One of the components of the Tesla Network. It generates a continuous current between columns of pillars of the same height. Not recommended to touch it, as it carries a high current and will electrocute anything it doesn't like.
