Bodyguard is a Minecraft mod that gives you extra help with new adventure companions.

Now you'll be protected with the bodyguards added in this mod. Just call them to action, and as soon as they appear, they'll be at your disposal. They'll take care of the monsters for you. Take them everywhere—if you need help hunting, they'll do it. If you're looking to defeat the strongest monsters, you can ask them for help. Summon the strongest or fastest bodyguards so you can go into battle safely.

Features:

Bodyguards no longer need an item to be summoned.
Some bodyguards have unique abilities.
They can be healed with food or something related to their skin.
To stop them from following you, right-click while crouching.
If you hit a mob, they will kill it for you.
They will defend you automatically from monsters. More features are being added soon.
You don’t need gold to hire (tame) them; summoning them is enough.
You can equip bodyguards with armor, melee weapons, and totems.
Auto-healing for bodyguards.

Create Your Bodyguard:

Place two blocks of wool [Light Gray, Dark Gray, Black, Brown, Orange, Blue, Magenta, Red, White] as if you were building a snowman. After placing the wool blocks, you can place a carved pumpkin block to see your new bodyguard. They are hired as soon as they appear.

Warning: Don’t let anyone else place the carved pumpkin, or it won’t belong to you.
