Modern Companions 4.60 — Cumulative Patch Notes

Mage Combat & Safety

• Alert now fully controls ordinary combat targeting and mage casting. Disabling Alert clears existing targets; manual Hunt remains separate.
• Mage spells and explosions better protect owners, allies, same-owner companions, and tamed pets.
• Lightning Mage attacks are target-locked and correctly award kill credit, kill statistics, and companion XP.
• Fire Mage fireballs now respect safe targeting and only ignite valid enemies after successful damage.
• Mage starter weapons are assigned consistently across all mage companion kits.

Beastmaster Pets

• Hostile Beastmaster pets no longer burn in sunlight or randomly teleport.
• Captured Creepers no longer damage blocks or allies; their explosions only affect nearby hostile mobs.
• Beastmaster pets no longer trigger unnecessary “Enemy Spotted” callouts.

Companion Equipment & Persistence

• Curios equipment now survives Soul Gem capture and redeployment, Companion Mover storage, Resurrection Scroll revival, logout, and world reload.
• Companion food and recruitment messages now display modded item names more reliably, with readable fallbacks when translations are missing.

Taming & Configuration

• Added taming.includeAutomaticModdedFoods, enabled by default.
• Set it to false to restrict taming, recruitment, favorite-food selection, and healing to configured/vanilla foods.

Crafting Fixes

• Repaired six companion boot recipes so they load and craft correctly with valid two-row patterns.
