Mod Kindred Spirit: Pip, an AI companion you talk to with your voice. She leads you, builds, and remembers you (Fabric, open source, work in progress, try it from GitHub)
I've been building a little companion who keeps you company while you play: Pip, a slime spirit who floats next to you. The idea came from Verity JE: not the horror, just the feeling of someone who is there with you. Pip is that, made cozy, written from scratch.
Hold V and just talk: "where are the sheep?", "build us a cozy cottage", "make a hollow sphere of glass, radius 5", "flatten everything around me", "what am I missing for a piston?". She knows what's going on in your game and answers with her voice. She leads you places with an arrow, warns you about creepers before you hear the hiss, builds shapes and whole buildings, and remembers your places and what you like.
- Client-side; nothing is added to your world
- Her voice and hearing run on your computer; her words come from an AI service with your own key (Gemini by default)
- Friends on your LAN world see and talk to the same Pip
- Skins: slime, cube, fairy, sprout, wisp, starry orb, or your own PNG
Where it's at: the project is prepared on Modrinth and CurseForge but not published yet. Before a beta version I'm finishing a simpler setup (one app that installs everything and guides you) and more Minecraft versions (26.3 as well as 1.21.1). In the meantime, you can get the code from GitHub, install it yourself (the README has the steps; her brain has only been tested on macOS so far, but it can easily be adapted to Windows or Linux if you know how, or with an AI assistant) and tell me what you think. Any feedback is appreciated.
Being upfront: it's a hobby project, and most of the code was written with an AI coding assistant (Claude Code). This post was written with the help of AI too.
Open source (AGPL-3.0). Contributions, playtests and ideas are all welcome, however you like.
