Usual Allies (Alpha)
Will add new characters to Minecraft, for now only Kirb!
About this Mod


Usual Allies is a mod that will add characters from different types of media in Minecraft, for you to befriend!
The main concept will be to be able to befriend the new faces you'll meet in your journey. Each mob will become your ally by doing something unique about them, even if they're hostile at first.

Prepare to encounter characters you may already know!
Kirb

The pink puffball himself, or not exactly...
- if you feed him cake he will make you his friend!
- kirb has a special attack: inhaling entities and spitting them at other enemies as star projectiles
- kirb will only help the player in case he is being attacked
- kirb will float through the air to reach the player in high altitude
- kirb has 3 lives by default: give him 1ups to raise them
- dyeable in all colors

As you may already thought, this mod looks less than what you expected, and this is why i'm looking for help. Starting this mod is a dream come true, but at the same time the work is alot and I don't want to overcharge myself. If you're someone with intermediate skills in:
- Texturing and modeling (you can make your own characters to put in the mod!)
- Coding (no mcreator pls)
- Animating in Blockbench
- Sound providing
then feel free to join up to make this together. (I'd also like being picked up by an established mod team)
This is mainly my call to people who believe in creating something great. For now the content is bare bone, but after I won't be the only person working on this, expect new characters and a whole lot more.
JOIN THE DISCORD!!!
