Frens adds friendly NPC companions to Minecraft.
Spawn a companion, have them follow you, and assign survival tasks like woodcutting, mining, fishing, and basic building. Companions keep their inventory and stats between sessions and are built to handle everyday hazards while they work.
Talking companions (optional, beta)
With Ollama running on your machine, companions answer you in chat, remember what happened, banter with each other, and can speak with voices. It's off by default, and in-game Guide → AI setup walks you through it.
⚠️ This part is very much in beta: expect slowness and odd replies, and setups other than Apple Silicon Macs have had little testing. Everything else works without it.
Requirements
Fabric Loader and Fabric API, installed on both client and server. Don't install it next to the original AI-Player mod: Frens is a fork of it and the two conflict.

Sorry about the Apple notification. Will get a cleaner shot!

The bot can craft anything as long as it has the resources and the player has crafted the item at least once. Sorry about the Apple notification. Will get a cleaner shot!
Can set a base as 'home' so that the bot returns here at night if the setting is toggled.
The bot can hunt a specified number of mobs that the player has discovered. Options include targeting a nearby mob, targeting all "edible" mobs, hunting until sunset, and a toggle for avoiding depopulation (leaves some behind to breed).
Better control of user permissions for server admins (mod is not just for single-player!)
Set your bases and "home" base, send the bot to a base, and fortify a village with walls and a moat (WIP).
Easier to switch between the Construction and Bases menus.
