🌌 Call of Companions

Travel freely. Switch companions instantly.

Ride your horse across the plains…
Call your Nautilus to cross the ocean…
Summon wolves before a fight…
Bring a Strider when facing lava.

Adapt instantly — without ever going back.

No backtracking. No compromises. No awkward workarounds.

And if your companions ever get left behind…
lost to distance, terrain, or unloaded chunks —

they’re never truly gone.

Call of Companions lets you bring them back to you — from anywhere.

✨ Core Idea

Bind your animals to a mystical crystal…
and summon them whenever you need them.

No matter how far they are.
Even if the world itself forgot about them.

🔮 Call Crystals

💜 Call Crystal

A simple yet powerful tool.

• Stores up to 4 companions
• Works with tamed animals only
• Slower summoning & longer cooldown
• Crafted with an Ender Eye surrounded by Amethyst

A reliable way to never lose your closest friends.

❤️ Deep Call Crystal

An upgraded, darker version infused with sculk energy.

• Stores up to 8 companions
• Works with tamed and named animals
• Faster summoning & shorter cooldown
• Can summon companions across dimensions
• Crafted by upgrading a Call Crystal with a Sculk Shrieker
• Keeps your existing companion list

A deeper connection… reaching beyond ordinary limits.

🐾 How It Works

Each crystal remembers your companions — including their last known location.

You can:

• Bind animals by right-clicking them
• Refresh their status with a right-click in the air
• Summon them by using the crystal on a block

Companion locations update automatically during most normal interactions —
just keep the crystal in your inventory when interacting.

The crystal intelligently handles everything:

• Nearby companions will run to you
• Distant ones will teleport
• Even animals in unloaded chunks can be found and brought back
• Unreachable or missing companions are clearly marked in the tooltip

Your world feels… connected.

🚚 Advanced Use: Transport

Sometimes… your companions carry more than just your trust.

• Llamas with chests can store items for you
• Summon them anytime to access your storage
• Create your own mobile supply caravan

No more relying only on Ender Chests.
No more running out of space mid-journey.

Your companions can carry the world with you.

🧠 Smart Summoning

The system adapts automatically:

• Close → they walk to you
• Far (loaded) → instant teleport
• Far (unloaded) → chunks are loaded to find them
• Across dimensions → Deep Call Crystal can call them through the void itself
• Wolves, cats, parrots → use their natural teleport behavior

Summoning also adapts to each companion:

• Large creatures require more open space
• Aquatic companions search for nearby water
• Striders prefer lava when possible
• Unsafe or obstructed locations are avoided automatically

It feels natural. Seamless. Almost alive.

🌍 Important Details

• Call Crystal works only within the same dimension
• Deep Call Crystal can optionally summon companions across dimensions
• If cross-dimensional summoning is unavailable, you'll be notified when a companion is too far away
• Calling distant companions from unloaded chunks consumes XP (configurable)
• Nearby or already loaded companions can be summoned for free
• Cross-dimensional summoning requires more XP
• Crystals have a cooldown after use

👥 Multiplayer Friendly

• You can bind any tamed animal (even others’)
• But you can only summon your own companions

Deep Call Crystal exception:

• Named wild animals can be shared and summoned by anyone

🔄 Resetting a Crystal

Sometimes… bonds need to be rewritten.

• Call Crystal can be replaced easily — just craft a new one
• Deep Call Crystal can be cleansed and reused

Surround a Deep Call Crystal with Flint to wipe all stored companions.

A fresh start — without losing the crystal itself.

⚙️ Configurable

Customize the experience with separate (1.12.0+) server rules and client preferences.

Server-controlled settings

These settings define gameplay behavior for the whole server and are automatically synchronized to connected clients:

• XP cost for summoning
• Separate XP cost for cross-dimensional calls
• Summon range behavior
• Crystal capacity
• Cooldown
• Allow/disallow untamed animals in Deep Crystal
• Enable/disable cross-dimensional summoning
• Cross-dimensional summon delay

Client preferences

These settings can be configured individually by each player:

• Automatic companion coordinate updates on dismount or interaction
• Tracking update distance
• Notifications when companion coordinates are updated automatically
• Tooltip time format and appearance

Make it lightweight… or powerful.

📁 Config Location

The configuration files are generated automatically after launching the game or server.

Starting with Call of Companions 1.12.0, configuration is split into two files:

• config/callofcompanions-server.toml — gameplay rules controlled by the server
• config/callofcompanions-client.toml — local preferences for each player

When upgrading from an older version, existing settings from:

config/callofcompanions-common.toml

are automatically copied into the appropriate new config files if they do not already exist. The original common config file is kept as a backup, so no manual migration is required.

For NeoForge, client-side configuration changes are applied immediately.

For Fabric, client-side configuration changes are applied after restarting the client.

Starting from Call of Companions 1.10.6 for NeoForge, configuration options can also be changed through the in-game config screen.

From the main menu, navigate to Mods → Call of Companions → Config to access the configuration options.

🔗 Mod Compatibility

The mod is compatible with many modded animals and companions.

Successfully tested with:

• Animal Garden

Compatibility works automatically for most entities using standard taming mechanics and ownership systems.

🧩 Design Philosophy

No menus.
No complicated UI.
No unnecessary mechanics.

Just a crystal in your hand…
and the quiet certainty that your companions will answer.

💭 Final Note

You don’t have to worry about losing them anymore.

They’re not gone.
They’re just… waiting for your call.
