Lovely Robot: Legacy

Overview

Lovely Robot: Legacy is the current-generation companion mod. Craft a robot, give her a name, bring her along — and watch what happens when you actually spend time together.

Several robot types. Sixteen colours each. A levelling system, combat specialisations, and a protection mechanic that scales with the bond you've built. Legacy is the version most players know, now rebuilt from the ground up on a clean multi-loader foundation.

It's vanilla-friendly, but it rewards players who go deep.

Robot Types

Each type has a distinct personality, stat profile, and combat role.

All types are available in 16 dye colours.

Features

• Levelling system — robots gain XP in the field and level up to type-specific caps (80–150)
• Named robots level faster — a small XP bonus once you give your robot a name
• Protection system — damage type resistance scales with level and integrates with enchantments
• Combat specialisations — each robot type has unique abilities and combat patterns
• Smart Core Retrieval — if your robot dies nearby, her core flies back to your inventory automatically; glowing outline if she's out of range
• Ctrl+Shift+Empty Hand pickup — convert your robot back to a spawn item without losing any data
• Health persistence — robot health is preserved across world reloads
• Sitting animations — dynamic hitbox, random delay transitions, vehicle sitting support (boats, minecarts, horses)
• Core glow — colour-coded team scoreboard integration, 16 colours
• Base Defense Scan — four patrol patterns (FULL_SCAN, DOUBLE_SWEEP, QUADRANT_CHECK, RANDOM_POINTS)
• Commands — /llovely with list, summon, teleport, stats, config

Dependencies

• LovelyLib (required)
• HZLib (required)

Compatibility

Implementation for 1.21.1 is in progress. Broad version support (back to 1.7.10) is the long-term target.

Conversion

• Robots from the original Lovely Robot (1.12.2) can be converted to Legacy saves.
• Legacy and Tribute can convert between each other.
• Legacy saves can be converted to Reboot. Reboot saves cannot convert back.

How This Differs from the Original

The original Lovely Robot by lilacx02 was a 1.12.2 Forge mod with four robot types and basic companion behaviour. Lovely Robot: Legacy is a full rebuild for modern Minecraft that adds:

• Four additional robot types (Dragon, Neko, Kitsune, Bunny3)
• 16-colour dye palette across all types
• Levelling system with type-specific caps
• Protection system with damage type resistance and enchantment integration
• Smart Core Retrieval on death
• Base defense scan with four patrol patterns
• Multi-loader support (Fabric, Forge, NeoForge)
• Cross-version save migration from 1.12.2 originals

The robots look like the originals because that was the intent — to continue and expand lilacx02's work. The underlying code and systems are a complete rebuild.
