Description
Chiikawa Mod
Bring the world of Chiikawa into Minecraft — tameable little friends, a job system that lets them work on their own, and a music box that plays your very own songs.
Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi… these healing, slightly goofy little ones now move into your world. Tame them, hand them a tool, and they'll farm, fight, and even pick up a music box and play your favorite song for you. They'll be adorable, they'll get hurt, they'll let out their signature squeaks — and when they fall, all it takes is a slice of cake to bring them back. 🎂
✨ Why you'll want it
- 🐾 Seven characters from the original, all tameable — Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, Shisa, Momonga, Kurimanju, and Rakko, each with its own model, textures, and personality.
- 🧰 A job system that works on its own — drop a tool into a pet's backpack, flip it to Work mode, and it gets busy for you: the Farmer plants and harvests, the Fencer fights up close, the Archer picks off enemies at range, and the Musician plays for you.
- 🎵 A music box that plays your own songs — drop
.mp3/.wavfiles into a folder and hear them in-game. Pure-Java decoding, no external ffmpeg required; on a multiplayer server, everyone nearby hears the same track. - 🎬 In-house animation engine — a Bedrock model/animation pipeline built for this mod (inspired by GeckoLib, but with no GeckoLib runtime dependency), driven by a semantic state machine for smooth idle, walk, run, work, and reaction poses.
- 🔊 Per-character sounds — Usagi's signature squeaks, plus tame/hurt voices for the cast, to make them feel alive.
- 🎒 Pet backpack — right-click a pet with an empty hand to open its inventory and manage its tools and gear.
- 🪆 Dolls & spawn eggs — a doll for every character (try placing one on a cake 🎂), and spawn eggs in Creative.
- ⚔️ Character weapons — craftable signature "discipline sticks" for Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi.

🎮 How to Play
New here? This section is all you need — most "it's not working" reports come from skipping one of these steps.
🍖 Taming
Hold almost any food (apple, bread, cookie, carrot, potato, cooked meat, melon slice, sweet berries, golden apple…) and right-click the pet.
⚠️ Taming is chance-based. Each feed has a chance to succeed, so keep feeding! Hearts = tamed. A puff of smoke / confused reaction = not yet, try again. Flowers no longer work — use food.
🧭 Three modes — Follow / Sit / Work
Once it's yours, Sneak (Shift) + right-click with an empty hand to cycle through:
- Follow — the pet follows you.
- Sit — the pet stays put.
- Work — the pet performs its job around the spot where you set it.
💼 Jobs
A pet's job is decided by the tool it holds. Open its backpack (right-click with an empty hand), place a tool inside, then set it to Work:
| Job | Give it… | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Farmer | a Hoe | plants and harvests nearby crops (modded seeds supported) |
| Fencer | a Sword (or a character's discipline stick) | attacks hostile mobs in melee |
| Archer | a Bow (keep arrows in the backpack) | attacks hostile mobs at range |
| Musician | a Music Box | plays your imported music |
Pets only fight/work while in Work mode — in Follow mode they stay peaceful and won't pick fights.
🎵 Note: only Hachiware can currently take the Musician job — other characters won't play even while holding a music box.
❤️ Other interactions
- Heal a hurt pet by right-clicking it with food.
- Open its backpack by right-clicking with an empty hand (no sneak).
🌍 Where they spawn
Pets appear naturally in Plains, Sunflower Plains, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Desert, Swamp, and Snowy Plains. In Creative, use the spawn eggs.
🎁 Getting items
- Weapons (discipline sticks) are craftable — check the recipe book (wool + stick + flint).
- The Music Box, dolls, and spawn eggs are in the Creative inventory. A pet also drops its doll when it dies, preserving its backpack and data.
🎵 Music Box: play your own songs
- Open the Music Box screen and click Open Folder to jump to
config/chiikawa/music. - Drop your
.mp3/.wavfiles in, hit Reload, and pick a track. - Give the Music Box to Hachiware and set it to the Musician job — it'll hold the box and play for you.
Audio is decoded in pure Java (mp3spi / JLayer for MP3, the JDK for WAV), encoded with Opus, and streamed from the server to nearby clients — no external tools needed.
Admins can run
/chiikawa music rescanto force a rescan of the music folder.
