FAQ

My companion is gone. Where is it?

Open the overview (J). If its card says Waiting far away, it is still in the world, just not loaded – press Recall. If it fell, you received a Companion Totem; revive it at a Companion Shrine. On dedicated servers, companions are stored automatically when you log out, so after joining again press Summon.

How do I get rid of a companion without letting it die?

Press Store or Archive in the overview. Both work from any distance. To give it away, pack it into a totem at the shrine. To release it for good, use a Companion Release Token. See Team and Archive.

Why can I only have one companion out?

That is the default of max_active_companions. The server owner can raise it to six. You can still keep up to three companions in your team (six with max_companions_per_player) and many more in the archive.

Can I open the menu without the whistle?

Yes – press J. The whistle is optional.

My companion attacks things I do not want it to attack.

Switch its behavior to Follow or Passive, see Behavior and Orders. Companions never attack you, villagers or other companions.

My companion does not follow me any more.

It is probably set to Wait. Pick Follow on the command wheel (G) or in the companion menu. Also check its follow and teleport distance on the Settings tab.

Can I tame a wolf companion with bones?

No. Companion wolves are already bound to you by the mod; vanilla taming is blocked so ownership cannot change by accident.

Do I lose items when I store my companion?

No. Stored, archived and packed companions keep their whole inventory, including enchantments, names and durability.

Where did my HUD position and theme go after updating?

They are personal client settings now (config/loyalcompanions-client.json). Set them once under HUD & Theme; they then apply on every server.

Why does my companion not show its armor?

Visible armor is drawn on vanilla animals only. Companions from other mods get all the stats and effects of their gear, just without the look. See Visible armor.

Where are the items in creative mode?

In their own Loyal Companions tab.

Does it work with animals from other mods?

Yes, see Compatibility and API.
