About this Mod

Feathered Friend is a roleplay-focused communication overhaul that replaces boring vanilla chat with something far more flavorful: trained ravens, wax-sealed scrolls, and unique personal sigils.

Ravens like shiny objects and are very peculiar. Bring shinies, and listen carefully to the Raven's cawing... Make a mistake, and the Raven will deem your intellect unworthy! 🤓

Raven armors aren't just "more HP". They introduce completely new stats that make your Raven more useful in several different ways.

You'll need to know whether a scroll about important war plans is legit. Luckily, the sigils you stamp on scrolls' wax are completely unique and cannot be reproduced.

The main purpose of this mod: scrolls! Better than vanilla chat. And, you can also attach items (if you have an Ender Pearl).

Your friend offline? No problem, your Raven will deliver scrolls at the recipient's mailbox, as long as your Raven has spotted the mailbox before.

The Suspicious Chest... It allows you to send items back to your base while you are on an adventure. Some say it's alive, others say that it serves a secret purpose... 😱

Tether your soul at any time, and fly around as your Raven. Oh, and Simple Voice Chat works as well. Go scare your friends! 👻

"The customer is always right." That's why you can adjust whatever you like, including the disabling of features.

But where do these Ravens come from? What is their relation to Ender magic? Who knows...

3D modeling is done by @Jonny324 (portfolio), UI design by FOOG (@foogFox_ on Twitter/X), and sound effects were generated using ElevenLabs; ownership/usage rights for all commissioned and generated assets are retained by me, and all such assets are All Rights Reserved.
I would not have made this mod if it wasn't for Devrune and his Messenger Crow mod. This mod is clearly borrowing from that amazing concept 🙏
Also a big shoutout to the members in our Discord:
- Archemagos: testing features, creating the "Enderpack" and "Suspicious Feather" item textures
- Cyan(ide): creating the "Raven's Feather" texture
- MyBoyCharles: cooking up some great ideas for me to develop
- Cursed Crusader: finding (too many 😤) bugs and visual inspo
