Player Companions adds companion creatures that can travel with you and support you on your journey.

Important Notice for 7.x

Player Companions 7.x is a beta and a complete rewrite of the mod.

Please keep the following in mind before updating:

  • 7.x is not compatible with 6.x or older versions
  • Old companion data is not guaranteed to work
  • Existing companions from older versions may be lost after updating
  • Always create a full backup before testing or updating

For important saves, servers, or modpacks, testing in a separate instance is strongly recommended.

✨ Current 7.x Beta Features

Currently available in the 7.x beta:

  • Pig companion
  • Rooster companion
  • Small Slime companion

The current beta is intentionally limited while the new foundation is being rebuilt.

🔄 Legacy Note

Older 6.x versions included a larger feature set and additional companion systems.

Some of these features may return later, but the current 7.x branch should be treated as a new generation of the mod.

🐞 Reporting Problems

If you find an issue during beta testing, please include:

  • the exact mod version
  • the Minecraft version
  • the loader you use
  • clear reproduction steps
  • logs or crash reports if available
