Humans
Adds a mob inspired by the Classic Human!
About this Mod
Humans is a mod that adds.. well.. Humans! Not quite other players, but close enough that you might consider them friends.
Currently in Beta, and might not be suitable for a full experience. Please make sure to backup your save, just in case.
Currently Humans can:
- Be renamed to change their skin (add &K to the nametag to make them keep their skin).
- Be given items (currently by throwing) to devend or heal themselves
- Gain affinity with players by giving them items. Once they reach high affinity (which is instant if you give them an enchanted golden apple), you can set them as your best friend by right clicking them with a stick. If they are your best friend, they'll follow you and their affinity with you will not decrease.
- Fight mobs (other than endermen), and defend themselves against a player which hits them.
More will be added soon, including improvements to the Affinity system and a way to get them to stop following you so they can stay and protect an area, for instance.

Humans server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Humans compatible with fabric?
Humans officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.17.1, 1.17. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Humans – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Humans 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.
