Menu Companions
📖 About the Mod
The Menu Companions mod allows you to place two creatures of your choice on the main game screen. This is a purely decorative feature that adds some fun to the game interface.
📚 Features
Two companions appear on the sides of the main menu and curiously follow your cursor movements. Clicking on a creature plays its characteristic sound.
Not all entities are suitable as companions. Incompatible mobs are automatically added to the blacklist in the configuration file.
Companion customization is done through .json files in the menucompanions folder of the configuration directory. All files in this folder are loaded automatically, regardless of their name and folder structure.
