Cosmetic Companion
✨ Bring your adventures to life with animated floating companions that follow you wherever you go!
Cosmetic Companion is a Forge 1.20.1 mod that adds adorable, fully animated 3D companions to Minecraft. These companions are purely cosmetic—they don't fight, collect items, or change gameplay—but they'll always be by your side with smooth animations and beautiful models powered by GeckoLib.
Whether you're exploring caves, building your dream base, or battling bosses, your favorite companion will accompany you every step of the way.
