Wolf Companion

TerraFirmaCraft can be a lonely place.

This mod creates a wolf companion for you that stays close, watches for trouble, and comes to your defense. You can give them a name, ask them to sit outside your shelter, or let them explore nearby while you work.

Out on the trail, your companion can scout ahead and growl when they notice danger. Wind affects what they can smell, giving you another reason to pay attention when that nose points into the breeze. They can point toward prey or, with opportunistic hunting enabled, chase nearby rabbits and wild birds and bring extra food back to your feet.

They have needs of their own, too. Your companion gets hungry and thirsty, hunts for food, and seeks fresh water. When fresh food is scarce, animal remains can provide a little emergency nourishment. You can also offer fresh meat or fish yourself. Sitting, danger, and guarding an injured player can interrupt their trips.

Want to know how they’re doing? Sneak-right-click your wolf to see health, hunger, thirst, carried food, and a recent activity log. Hover over the bars for helpful explanations.

Your companion, your choices

The settings let you adjust hunting, scouting, scent, sounds, distances, and more. You can turn the companion off safely and restore the same living wolf later.

You can also choose what happens if a companion dies: permanent loss, a new companion, or the same wolf returning. Optional stone memorials mark a loss with a personal inscription and a lasting light.

The aim is a useful, believable companion with a place in your survival story. They can be hurt, they sometimes need your help, and protecting you takes priority over an optional chase.

Getting started

Install the mod alongside TerraFirmaCraft and its required dependencies. A companion joins eligible players automatically; an existing save is supported. Right-click with an empty hand to sit or stand, offer fresh meat or fish to feed, and sneak-right-click to open the companion screen. Find the settings through Minecraft’s Mods menu.

Compatibility: Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1.235 or newer, and TerraFirmaCraft 4.2.11. Install it on the server and on each player’s client.

Pairs naturally with Wary Predators: give wildlife room to be wary, and let your companion help you notice it before an encounter turns dangerous. Together, the mods encourage watching, listening, and choosing your path through TerraFirmaCraft’s wilderness.
