Inventory Companions Mod adds a tiny, animated friend right into your inventory screen. This mod lets you pick a cute character to hang out with you while you check your items, craft, or open chests. You can even use your own Minecraft skin to make a tiny version of yourself that moves around on the screen.

Inventory Companions Mod

Features:

  • Places a small animated character inside your inventory and other game menus.
  • Lets you choose from a list of pre-made popular characters and YouTubers.
  • Allows you to type in any player’s nickname to load their custom skin as your companion.
  • Includes different fun animation patterns, like fishing, swimming, or sitting by a campfire.
  • Works inside all game menus, including chests, crafting tables, and furnaces.
  • Keeps things purely visual right now without changing how the actual game plays.

Configuration:

  • Companion: pick which pre-made character you want to see in your inventory.
  • Player by Nickname: type a name to load a custom skin and pick an animation pattern for it.
  • Position: move the character around the screen so it looks good in both survival and creative modes.

How to Use:

  1. Install the required config mod so the settings menu works properly.
  2. Open the mod settings menu from your game’s main screen.
  3. Pick a pre-made character from the list or type a nickname to use a custom skin.
  4. Adjust the position sliders if the character blocks your items or slots.
  5. Open your inventory in the game to see your new tiny friend.
