Disclaimer

This mod will be moved to Modrinth for various reasons. Not only because of the controversy with Overwolf, but mainly because of how much more optimised Modrinth is. It's a personal preference.

As a side note, I've been on hiatus for a while. I really want to reprogram this mod without MCreator, but life currently has me in a chokehold. I appreciate all the support though.

I'll get to this mod when I get to it. Thanks for understanding!

This mod adds a robotic little friend to your world!

What this mod includes:

Tiny protogen creatures that shoot lasers when aggrevated (ideal for of self defense)
Custom voice lines
Fully animated models
Edible RAM (not for humans)

This is my first ever mod so it's a bit rough around the edges. I did my best to make everything work accordingly and it does (for the most part.) I hope to add much more to this mod. In the meantime, feel free to recommend any features you wanna see.

The Mod:

(Requires GeckoLib)

We'll start off with the most important feature: the protogens. Otherwise known as protos or proots, these little dudes were originally made as war machines but decided, "what if we just didn't." And now we're here. They are usually around 6 foot but I decided to make them wee lads. Why? Shut up.

In game, they're basically useless at the moment. I am going to add some sort of use to them but, as of now, they're purpose is to sit there and look pretty.

The only function they currently have is that they follow anyone holding RAM.

That brings up the items. There is only one item right now and that is RAM. You can craft three with an iron ingot and a gold nugget in any shape.

Aaaaand that's it! Yep! Nothing else. Underwhelming? Sure. Cute? Absolutely!

Jokes aside, this mod is only in it's beta phase. It's full release will include much, much more. Hope you enjoy messing around with these little dudes! I worked pretty hard on them so any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!

Planned features:

More voice lines
More voice variants
Buildable/Tameable proots
Actual purpose
Event when hit by lightning
Laser gun
Some other goofy things
Fabric version?
