✨ Your Gateway to Magical Companions in Minecraft

Familiars: Reimagined API is a comprehensive framework for creating magical companion mods in Minecraft. It handles all technical aspects - persistence, networking, UI, and progression systems - so developers can focus on designing unique familiars and abilities. The API features a robust ability system (passive/active/ultimate abilities), quest framework with varied progression, and a polished player interface with quick-swap functionality and skin customization. With annotation-based registration and automatic state management, developers can easily create immersive familiar packs that seamlessly integrate with this foundation. 🌟 What Are Familiars?

Familiars are magical companion entities that players can unlock through quests or XP investment. Each familiar comes with its own unique model, animations, and up to three ability slots that unlock progressively. These abilities range from passive bonuses to powerful activated skills that can assist in combat, resource gathering, or exploration. Familiars follow players on their adventures, providing tactical advantages based on their specialty.

Familiar Creeper 📚 Core Features For Players

Magical Allies: Expand your Minecraft journey with enchanting companions from various content packs. Each familiar brings its own distinct personality, visual style, and specialized abilities to your adventures. Creator packs can introduce entirely new gameplay mechanics and unique familiar interactions beyond the standard framework!

Progression Pathways: Embark on tailored quests that challenge your skills while unlocking new familiar companions. Face unique objectives like rare item gathering, monster hunting, or exploration challenges to earn your magical allies. For those preferring a different approach, invest experience points to bypass quest requirements and instantly add familiars to your collection.

Simple Power System: Unlock up to three distinct ability slots for each familiar as you progress, transforming novice companions into formidable allies. Each slot reveals new powers that complement the familiar's specialty - from passive enhancements to powerful activated abilities. Master both your familiar's primary strengths and their secondary powers to create synergistic combinations that match your playstyle.
