Wildbound
Tame the untameable — bond vanilla mobs with an amethyst shard. Each companion follows you, wanders on command, parks where you ask, and grants a gentle gift.

About this Mod
Deep in the glittering geodes, the old clerics learned a secret: a shard of amethyst carries a resonance the wild cannot ignore.
Hold out a shard and create your bond. It takes a few tries (smoke means not yet -- hearts mean yours).
🌿 Wildbound lets you bind the friendship of eleven of the overworld's souls. Each companion that walks with you - or keeps watch where you bid it stay - lends you a sliver of its gifts.
Bid one sit (an empty hand) and it keeps watch - its gift still flowing.
Send it to wander (sneak, empty hand) and it lives freely around a home it remembers, until you call on it again.
A drink of milk quiets the flow of the gift, for when an effect is in your way.
Every command is answered in kind: a puff of colour and the animal's own voice, so you always know what you asked of it.

💎 The Bound Cluster
When the road grows long — an elytra flight, an ocean crossing — press an amethyst cluster to your companion and it will sleep inside the crystal — name, mood, memories and all — until you set it free against new ground. The cluster shatters on release, the bond does not.
Guard it well. A crystal lost is a friend lost. An ender chest keeps a bound friend safest.
📜 For the chroniclers
A full advancement tree marks your path, from the first shard you pocket to the day the wild knows your name — when one of every kind has chosen to walk with you.
Notes:
- Install on server and client
- Per-animal config — enable each companion, taming odds, effect level, wander radius (
config/wildbound.json).
