    About

    Modern Companions adds recruitable human followers who form a growing party, with 14 core roles ranging from shielded Vanguards and fast Scouts to healing Clerics, potion-using Alchemists, and Necromancers that summon allied wither skeletons. Optional companions expand the roster with nine magic specialists when Iron’s Spellbooks or Ars Nouveau is installed, while TacZ adds firearm specialists for pistols, SMGs, rifles, shotguns, snipers, machine guns, and heavy weapons. Companion houses generate across the Overworld, where players can hire a resident by providing the two requested stacks of food or resources, then issue orders such as Follow, Patrol, Guard, Alert, Hunting, and Pickup. Followers can be equipped with armor, weapons, tools, shields, torches, or lanterns, and their inventories support automatic equipment selection alongside manual gear management. Companions earn experience from kills and can level without a cap; Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Endurance shape attributes such as combat ability, speed, health, and defense. Their traits, backstories, Morale, Bond, age, favorite foods, and journey records give each follower a persistent personality, while 295 bundled skins provide varied appearances that can age visually over time. Craftable weapons include daggers, clubs, hammers, spears, quarterstaves, and glaives, and reusable-vessel potions can restore health, stamina, or mana, heal over time, or grant temporary armor. The Companion Mover stores a follower in a Soul Gem while preserving identity, stats, equipment, inventory, and personality, and the Summoning Wand recalls living companions and Beastmaster pets to the owner in the current dimension. Optional Curios and Sophisticated Backpacks support adds accessory slots and backpack storage, while optional magic and firearm companions use the spell systems or shooting, ammunition, and reload behavior of their respective mods.

    Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes the game's code in 2 areas: Rendering and graphicsChanges 3 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen. and Inventory and itemsChanges 1 game code file in this area: items, chests and other containers, crafting and enchanting..

    Adds 1 block, 215 items, 25 mobs, 1 other entity, 26 structures, 4 enchantments, 147 recipes, 18 loot tables and 60 sounds.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

    Security

    No harmful code found in the parts we could check

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    One of its files for recent versions is not checked yet.

    What it can do on your computer

    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. No web address is written in its code. See Privacy
    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · 2 of 3 latest files checked, last on 18 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 1 of them is not checked yet. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends about you, in the 1 of its 2 files we read

    We read its code without running it: it contacts 1 web address while you play.

    Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · 1 of 2 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of 1 of 2 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.
      Downloads a custom companion skin.Explained by AI (may be wrong)Explained by an AI from the code. May be wrong.
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    AI was used for its code and assets

    The author declares AI code and assets on Modrinth.

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and sounds and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs and code history yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
