Human Companions mod in Minecraft: Features and download guide

What is the Human Companions Minecraft mod and what are its features?

As the name of the mod suggests, it adds a bunch of new mobs that closely resemble humans and various features related to them. These humans will have four different types of occupations: Knight, Archer, Axeguard, and Arbalist (crossbow).

These human-like entities can be found in various biomes, living in uniquely built houses, which are also new to the mod. These houses can be made up of different wood and stone types, based on the biomes they generate in.

When players approach these human companions, they can be interacted with to see which food item they need. Once they are provided with that particular food item, they become a companion.

These mobs will essentially become a player's friend, helping them explore the world and fighting hostile mobs (except Creepers). They can also become soldiers to protect one's base.

Once they become a companion, players can equip them with armor and weapons to fight. Like a tamed wolf, they will follow players and can be stationary if the player interacts with them.
