🌌 Call of Companions
Travel freely. Switch companions instantly.
Ride your horse across the plains…
Call your Nautilus to cross the ocean…
Summon wolves before a fight…
Bring a Strider when facing lava.
Adapt instantly — without ever going back.
No backtracking. No compromises. No awkward workarounds.
And if your companions ever get left behind…
lost to distance, terrain, or unloaded chunks —
they’re never truly gone.
Call of Companions lets you bring them back to you — from anywhere.
✨ Core Idea
Bind your animals to a mystical crystal…
and summon them whenever you need them.
No matter how far they are.
Even if the world itself forgot about them.
🔮 Call Crystals
💜 Call Crystal
A simple yet powerful tool.
- Stores up to 4 companions
- Works with tamed animals only
- Slower summoning & longer cooldown
- Crafted with an Ender Eye surrounded by Amethyst
A reliable way to never lose your closest friends.
❤️ Deep Call Crystal
An upgraded, darker version infused with sculk energy.
- Stores up to 8 companions
- Works with tamed and named animals
- Faster summoning & shorter cooldown
- Can summon companions across dimensions
- Crafted by upgrading a Call Crystal with a Sculk Shrieker
- Keeps your existing companion list
A deeper connection… reaching beyond ordinary limits.
🐾 How It Works
Each crystal remembers your companions — including their last known location.
You can:
- Bind animals by right-clicking them
- Refresh their status with a right-click in the air
- Summon them by using the crystal on a block
Companion locations update automatically during most normal interactions —
just keep the crystal in your inventory when interacting.
The crystal intelligently handles everything:
- Nearby companions will run to you
- Distant ones will teleport
- Even animals in unloaded chunks can be found and brought back
- Unreachable or missing companions are clearly marked in the tooltip
Your world feels… connected.
🚚 Advanced Use: Transport
Sometimes… your companions carry more than just your trust.
- Llamas with chests can store items for you
- Summon them anytime to access your storage
- Create your own mobile supply caravan
No more relying only on Ender Chests.
No more running out of space mid-journey.
Your companions can carry the world with you.
🧠 Smart Summoning
The system adapts automatically:
- Close → they walk to you
- Far (loaded) → instant teleport
- Far (unloaded) → chunks are loaded to find them
- Across dimensions → Deep Call Crystal can call them through the void itself
- Wolves, cats, parrots → use their natural teleport behavior
Summoning also adapts to each companion:
- Large creatures require more open space
- Aquatic companions search for nearby water
- Striders prefer lava when possible
- Unsafe or obstructed locations are avoided automatically
It feels natural. Seamless. Almost alive.

🔄 Resetting a Crystal
Sometimes… bonds need to be rewritten.

A fresh start — without losing the crystal itself.
