🧠 ReactiveNPC — The Living Companion Mod

She cooks. She fights. She remembers. She's not just an NPC.

🚧 Early Development Notice

⚠️ This mod is currently in early development (Alpha stage). Bugs, crashes, and incomplete features are expected. It is not recommended for use in important worlds without a backup. If you encounter any issues, please report them in the comments or Issues tab — your feedback directly helps improve the mod!

🌟 Overview

ReactiveNPC introduces Aria — an intelligent companion NPC powered by AI dialogue, a personal inventory system, autonomous cooking behavior, and combat protection. Aria doesn't just stand around waiting for commands. She lives alongside you.

Whether you're building a base, going on an adventure, or just sitting by the fire, Aria adapts to the world around her and takes action on her own.

⚠️ Requirements

  • Minecraft: 1.20.1
  • Forge: 47.4.x or higher
  • Java: 17+
  • Groq API Key — This mod uses Groq to power Aria's AI dialogue. You must create a free account at groq.com and enter your API key in the mod config file before Aria can speak. Without a key, all other features (cooking, combat, inventory) still work normally.

🔑 Get your free Groq API key at: https://console.groq.com
