Modern Companions 3.0

New companions and integrations

• Added nine optional magic companions: Wizard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Witch, Hag, Cryomancer, Druid, Illusionist, and Battlemage.
• Magic companions use Iron’s Spellbooks or Ars Nouveau when installed, with improved targeting, ally protection, Intelligence-based spell damage, capped Wizard sword summons, and repaired summon-gem visuals.
• Added rare TacZ firearm specialists for Pistols, SMGs, Rifles, Shotguns, Snipers, Machine Guns, and Heavy weapons.
• Added matching TacZ summon gems, specialty-only equipment rules, native firing/reloading, improved class names, and firearm preservation through Companion Mover capture and redeployment.
• Added optional Curios and Sophisticated Backpacks support, including native backpack storage screens and upgrade/settings access.
• Added favorite foods to companion Journals; feeding a companion its favorite food provides improved Bond and Morale gains.

Companion resources and potions

• Added persistent Stamina for every companion and Mana for magic companions.
• Sprinting and successful melee attacks consume Stamina. Spells consume Mana only after successfully casting.
• Added six custom potions: Health, Regeneration, Stamina, Mana, Rejuvenation, and Shield.
• Added five reusable vessel shapes, brewing recipes, empty-vessel returns, loot-table support, JEI brewing displays, custom effect icons, and Jade Stamina/Mana bars.
• Companions can now intelligently consume useful potions from their inventories.

Inventory, controls, and Journal

• Reworked the companion inventory with dedicated armor, main-hand, and offhand equipment slots plus a 3D companion preview.
• Improved gear persistence, shift-click equipment, effect-icon alignment, button states, and visible Release/Jobs controls.
• Main-hand equipment is limited to tools and weapons; offhand equipment is limited to shields, torches, and lanterns. Job tools take priority when working.
• Follow, recall, and wandering now use the companion’s assigned Radius instead of repeatedly forcing the companion directly back to the owner, causing a ping-pong effect.
• Added editable Journal fields for Name, Age, Bio, and Skin with owner-only server validation. Ages accept values from 1–120, and skins use HTTP(S) URLs.

Taming, identity, and survival

• Added empty-hand dialogue for untamed companions.
• Taming requirements now use weighted resource tiers: 70% common, 25% uncommon, and 5% rare.
• Nether and ocean resources remain unavailable until the player has reached those areas. Requirements are finalized once on first interaction and then saved.
• Added a configurable companion.lowHealthFoodThreshold; the default is 50% health for both eating and food requests.
• Greatly expanded male and female name pools with medieval, historical, and fantasy names.
• Expanded the random skin pools to include 295 bundled companion skins.
• Cleared harmful effects and optional Mekanism radiation from resurrection data so companions do not immediately die again after revival.
• Dramatically expanded upon the available dialogue options for companions.

Localization

• Moved UI labels, dialogue, job statuses, commands, tooltips, compatibility messages, and companion class names into localization keys.
• Expanded the English language file with the new player-facing text.
