About this Mod

ONLY VANILLA PETS HAVE BEEN ADDED

Modded pets will come in the future

Mod Title

Desc

Tired of only getting tools or boring loot after defeating a boss? Fear not, my friend, because now you can get tiny little companions instead! Yep, you heard that right. Ever dreamed of having a baby Warden or a little Wither buddy? Now you can! Every boss drops its own pet version that will follow you into battle, just like in some other games. Each little companion has its own unique abilities that will help you on your adventures.

Bosses from other mods

Boss Companions will support other mods in the future. For now, it only includes vanilla bosses, but future updates will add pet companions for a bunch of bosses from other mods. Here's a showcase showing a few of the mini boss models. There are even more models that have already been finished but aren't shown in here, and there are plenty of upcoming mini bosses that don't have models yet.
