Wildbond

Hatch a dog, cat or fox, explore together, defend each other and unlock new forms through play.

Your egg. Your companion. Your adventure.

Find a strange egg and choose who will hatch: a dog, cat or fox. Wildbond adds a fantasy companion that follows you into the world, helps on your farm, plays fetch and grows with you through shared adventures.

Free beta — Minecraft Java 1.21.1, Fabric and Java 21. All three animals, four forms and gameplay upgrades are earned through play. There are no purchases, subscriptions, accounts or external AI services inside the mod.

Storm Fox — actual Wildbond beta 6 gameplay

Meet your companion

  • Dog: a broader head and build, shorter ears and a smaller curled plume.
  • Cat: a compact body, short muzzle, pink nose and six whiskers.
  • Fox: tall ears and the largest curled, fluffy tail.

Every animal has four appearances: Base, gold-accented Storm, green Grove and purple Crystal. They share the same companion features, so you can choose the animal you like rather than a mandatory class. The new beta brings square paws, short claws, stepped fur locks and clearer body surfaces to all twelve variants.

Dog companion — Base form in Minecraft

Cat companion with a pink nose and whiskers — Base form

A friend who listens

Ask your pet to follow you, wait here, defend you or avoid combat. Waiting records a location: your companion stays nearby instead of following you around the base. Set a resting place and use the command menu to manage its work, supplies and bag.

Play with a real ball: throw it and ask your companion to fetch it. The same item is picked up and returned; the game does not create a replacement ball. Pet your companion with an empty hand to see its happy reaction and faster tail wag. Sweet berries, cooked beef and cooked cod can help it recover health.

Brave enough to help, smart enough to retreat

Your pet helps defend you against hostile mobs. At 25% health or below, it stops attacking, clears its target and retreats. It stays out of combat while recovering, then returns when it is healthy enough and has had a safe interval. Switching forms does not restore health or reset ability cooldowns.

A lethal hit puts the companion into a downed state instead of permanently killing it. Its owner and inventory are preserved. Give it time and a safe resting place nearby; it is a companion to care for, not an invincible combat machine.

A helping paw on the farm

Assign farmland from the pet menu and your companion works within a 9×9 area around that point. It can harvest mature wheat, carrots, potatoes and beetroot, then replant using actual planting materials.

  • Unripe crops are left alone.
  • If the harvest will not fit in the bag, the crop is left standing.
  • A linked chest can receive produce while the pet keeps a small planting reserve.
  • Give supplies from your hand through the menu.
  • Grove can use bone meal you provide; it does not generate free fertilizer.

The chest must be near the assigned farm, within 12 blocks. Farming works in single-player. See the server notes below before enabling automation on a dedicated server.

Real farm assistance — harvest and replant

Earn new forms together

Form How to unlock What it adds
Base Available when hatched Following, waiting, defense, farming and play
Storm 20 owner-defense events Gold markings, electric particles and an electric attack with a cooldown
Grove 64 harvested crops Green appearance and bone-meal assistance when supplied
Crystal 10 minutes of active underground exploration near your pet Purple appearance, crystal-colored particles and nearby cave night vision

Choose an earned form in the menu. Unlocks are shared-adventure milestones; this beta does not include a separate NPC or story quest system. Base companions can already farm, protect and play — forms add their extra abilities.

Grove Cat — green farming form

Crystal Dog — purple underground exploration form

Getting started

  1. Install Minecraft Java 1.21.1, Fabric Loader 0.16.14 or later, Fabric API for 1.21.1 and Java 21.
  2. Put the Wildbond beta JAR in your profile's mods folder. Replace an older Wildbond JAR rather than keeping two versions together. Multiplayer requires Wildbond and Fabric API on both client and server.
  3. Look for a strange egg in dungeon, abandoned mineshaft or shipwreck treasure chests. In a creative test world, use /give @s wildbond:strange_egg.
  4. Right-click the egg, inspect the in-game 3D previews and choose your animal. The egg is consumed after a successful choice. One player can have one companion; a rejected duplicate hatch does not consume the egg.
  5. Sneak-right-click your own pet to open its menu. A whistle also opens the menu: /give @s wildbond:whistle.
  6. For fetch, get a ball with /give @s wildbond:play_ball, throw it with Q and choose the fetch command. For petting, use a normal right-click with an empty hand.

Tested with Fabric API 0.116.6+1.21.1. This build is for Fabric only, not Bedrock, Forge or NeoForge. A renderer, shader pack, model editor or AI service is not required to play.

Beta status and server notes

Current file: 0.1.0-beta.6. This is a beta for feedback. The upper tail, small cheek facets and arrangement of some fur locks are still being refined. The screenshots show the actual current game models, not a promise of exact identity with concept art.

Dedicated-server farm automation is off by default. The administrator may enable allowDedicatedFarmAutomation in config/wildbond.json on the supported minimal Fabric/Fabric API setup. Untested server-mod combinations are refused for automated harvesting. Compatibility with third-party claims/protection mods is not yet provided. Automatic travel between dimensions is not implemented.

Verification was performed in a real Minecraft client with an integrated server: 12 models, 48 paw contacts, 32 baseline checks and eight activity scenarios for each animal, including real form unlocks. Save/restart preserves the owner, pet and waiting point. This is not a large public-server load benchmark.

Please report the Minecraft/Fabric versions, the action that triggered an issue and steps to reproduce it in the project comments. Screenshots of clipping or animation problems are especially useful.

Русское описание

Wildbond — бесплатный питомец для приключений, фермы и игры. Найдите загадочное яйцо и до его расходования выберите собаку, кошку или лису в настоящем 3D-превью. У собаки более широкая голова и короткие уши, у кошки — короткая морда, розовый нос и усы, у лисы — самый крупный загнутый хвост. У каждого вида есть обычная, грозовая, лесная и кристальная формы.

Команды и дружба

Питомец следует за хозяином или остаётся возле назначенной точки по команде «Ждать здесь». Он умеет защищать, избегать боя, играть с физическим мячиком и реагировать на ласку пустой рукой. Можно назначить место отдыха, ферму и сундук, передавать припасы и забирать предметы из сумки.

При 25% здоровья и ниже питомец прекращает атаковать и отступает. Он не вступает в бой во время восстановления. Смертельный урон переводит его в состояние ранения с сохранением владельца и имущества. Смена формы не лечит и не сбрасывает задержку способности.

Помощь на ферме

Назначьте участок грядок: питомец работает в области 9×9 вокруг выбранной точки. Он собирает зрелую пшеницу, морковь, картофель и свёклу, расходует посадочный материал на пересадку и относит урожай в привязанный сундук, сохраняя небольшой запас семян. Сундук должен находиться в пределах 12 блоков от фермы. Незрелый урожай и урожай, который не помещается в сумку, остаются на месте.

Бесплатное развитие

  • Гроза: 20 защит хозяина. Золотые акценты, электрические частицы и дополнительный удар с задержкой.
  • Роща: 64 собранных урожая. Зелёная внешность и помощь костной мукой, если вы передали её питомцу.
  • Кристалл: 10 минут активного исследования под землёй рядом с питомцем. Фиолетовая внешность и ночное зрение в пещере.

После выполнения условия выберите форму через меню. Это задания прогресса; отдельных сюжетных квестов с NPC в бете нет. Обычная форма тоже помогает на ферме, защищает и играет. Все виды, формы и способности бесплатны, без покупок, подписок и регистрации в моде.

Установка и начало игры

Нужны Minecraft Java 1.21.1, Fabric Loader от 0.16.14, Fabric API для 1.21.1 и Java 21. Положите JAR Wildbond и Fabric API в mods; для сетевой игры мод нужен на сервере и у игроков. Bedrock, Forge и NeoForge этой сборкой не поддерживаются.

Найдите яйцо в сундуках подземелий, шахт или сокровищ затонувших кораблей либо выдайте его в творческом мире командой /give @s wildbond:strange_egg. Нажмите ПКМ и выберите животное. Меню питомца открывается через Shift+ПКМ по своему питомцу или свисток /give @s wildbond:whistle. Мячик: /give @s wildbond:play_ball; выбросите его клавишей Q и выберите команду игры.

В одиночной игре помощь на ферме включена. На выделенном сервере автоматический сбор по умолчанию выключен и требует настройки администратора для поддерживаемого минимального набора модов. Совместимость с чужими системами приватов и автоматический переход между измерениями не заявлены.

0.1.0-beta.6 — тестовая версия. Хвост, мелкие грани щёк и некоторые пряди ещё дорабатываются. Фото показывают настоящую игру. Замечания о поведении, анимации и видимых дефектах оставляйте в комментариях с версией игры и описанием действий.
