The Pebbles

This add-on adds a small, expressive stone companion called The Pebble.

Pebbles is built like a snow golem, then it becomes your friend:

• Place a Soul Sand block, then Stone Bricks on top of it, then a Carved Pumpkin on top of that.
• The structure turns into your very own Pebble. Other players can’t command it.
• Once summoned, it will follow you, hurry when you get far ahead, and teleport to a safe spot near you if it gets lost.

Controlling your Pebble

• Empty hand: tell it to sit or stand.
• Sneak + empty hand: pick it up and carry it. Your off-hand must be free.
• Click with an item: give it the item. It has two hands, so it can hold two items.
• Sneak + click with an item: take the last item back.
• Name Tag: rename it. Pebbles are happy about their names.

If a Pebble is destroyed(dies), it never loses the items it was holding. They drop where it fell.

Hands full of treasure

Whatever you give it appears in its hand, and it reacts to what it holds:

• Flowers get sniffed, and amethyst gets admired.
• Food makes it curious.
• Torches, Soul Torches, Lanterns and Soul Lanterns are carried as real 3D models and give off real light that moves with it.

It also notices the world around it. It leans toward flowers, moss, mushrooms and amethyst, and watches campfires with wide eyes.

Full of personality

Every Pebble has facial expressions (happy, sad, surprised, blinking), little stone “tik” voices and soft footsteps. Each one sounds a bit different. It will:

• wave, hop, trip over its own feet, and get back up
• greet you with excitement when you come back after being away
• sit down on its own when you stand still for a while
• fall asleep next to you when you sleep

Pebbles love other Pebbles

Put two or more Pebbles together and they interact on their own:

• greet each other
• sit and sleep side by side
• play, bump, chase and imitate each other
• share a moment of appreciation
• high-five and show each other their items
• comfort a friend who got hurt or scared

Scared… or brave?

Pebbles are tiny, and hostile mobs and explosions scare them. They flinch when hurt and shake when startled. But if you give your Pebble a Sword, Spear or Trident, it may find its courage:

• When a hostile mob shows up, an armed Pebble has about a 50% chance to stand and fight. The chance goes up when you’re low on health.
• It starts with a dramatic rally cry, then charges the enemy.
• Swords slash, and spears and tridents thrust, each with their own wind-up animation and impact.
• Damage depends on the material, from Wooden to Netherite.
• Weapons wear down with every hit.
• If it gets hurt too badly, it loses its nerve and goes back to being scared.
• After a win, it strikes a victory pose.
• It won’t fight Creepers, Endermen, Ghasts, Phantoms, Wardens, Withers, Guardians, Shulkers, Blazes or Breezes. It’s brave, not foolish.
