About this Mod

This mod adds an adorable 🦔 Hedgehog Companion to your Minecraft world!

🌾 Found in Plains and a few other biomes, these tiny and charming hedgehogs wander the grass, waiting for a kind player to tame them.

🍎 Simply feed a hedgehog an apple to tame it. Once tamed, it will faithfully follow you anywhere, never taking damage and always staying by your side.

🎒 Your hedgehog also has a small inventory you can use — perfect for carrying a few extra items on your adventures!

🌟 With its cute animations and helpful nature, the Hedgehog Companion is a delightful addition to your journeys.

⚒️ Note: This mod requires Geckolib (for Minecraft 1.20.1) to work properly. Please install Geckolib as a dependency!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hedgehog Companion server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Hedgehog Companion compatible with forge?

Hedgehog Companion officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Hedgehog Companion – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Hedgehog Companion consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
