Description

  

📖 About:

Menu Companions brings two mobs of your choosing to the main menu. All for purely cosmetic purposes and a little bit of fun.

📚 Contents:

Two companions are shown, one on each side of the main menu screen. They eagerly follow your cursor in anticipation of your very next move. Clicking a companion will trigger an entity specific interaction such as playing their ambient sound.

Not every entity will work or behave properly as a menu companion. Incompatible entities will automatically be added to a blacklist in the config file.

Companions are completely customizable via .json files found in the menucompanions folder in the config directory. All .json files in said folder are recursively loaded, file names and folder structure don't matter.

The following section explains each property available when defining a new entry in a .json file.

✏️ Notes:

Looking for a similar mod on Fabric? Check out Mobs Main Menu, a mod made by GabrielHOlv.

Looking to use Menu Companions on an older version of Minecraft? Go check out MenuMobs, a similar mod made by SpiesAmice for Minecraft 1.12 and below. For Minecraft 1.7 and below take a look at bspkrsCore by bspkrs.

Menu Companions runs purely one the client-side. It therefor even works when playing on a vanilla server.
