Nova MC Companion

Hey players! 👋

Another round of updates just landed for Nova — here's what's new and what it feels like in-game:

⛏️ Real-player mining Nova now mines like an actual player. Blocks break with real animations, drops go straight into her inventory, and she handles tough terrain (water pockets, stuck spots, weird angles) without freezing up. She's also a lot better about not clipping through walls or skipping torches on her way back out of a shaft.

💪 Beefier companion Nova's max HP is now configurable from the in-game menu (press G). Bump her up to tank harder, or keep her squishy if you like the challenge. Her damage and range are tunable too, so you can balance her to match your playstyle.

🎨 Cleaner inventory UI The HP and hunger bars now scale properly with her configured max health, so a buffed Nova actually shows as a buffed Nova. Color thresholds update based on percentage, not raw numbers. Stats tab shows everything at a glance.

🧠 Smarter behavior

Better stuck-detection and escape logic Steadier body yaw (no more weird 180° flips when she turns) Cleaner idle wandering (she doesn't pick absurd angles anymore) More natural pathing around obstacles 🐛 Fixes

Inventory items no longer duplicate or vanish Nova no longer crashes when mining certain blocks Mob targeting is more consistent Voice recognition is snappier Grab the update and let me know how she feels for you. Drop bug reports and feature ideas in the comments or in Discord — every one of them shapes the next build.

Happy adventuring. 🎮
