AI Options

This mod requires an external AI (LLM) to generate responses and a Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine to voice them.

  • Text Generation (AI/LLM): You can use Google Gemini (which offers a free API key) or Groq.
  • Voice Generation (TTS): You can use cloud APIs such as ElevenLabs (Paid) or Groq(which also offers a free API tier), or set up a Local TTS server which does not require any additional fees (note: the local TTS server must be configured manually by the player). 

Features 

• Favorite music: To add a favorite track for your companion, place a music.wav file in the .minecraft/config/personalhelperfriend/ folder.
• Additional music: To add more tracks, drop them into the .minecraft/config/personalhelperfriend/custom_music/ folder.
• Custom textures: You can create a custom texture pack by adding a new folder inside .minecraft/config/personalhelperfriend/customtextures/.
• Custom personality: To create a custom personality for your friend, add a .txt file to .minecraft/config/personalhelperfriend/personalities/ describing how they should behave.
