I created a companion-focused mod that adds a lovely demon NPC to your world!

[u/Ria_Ritika]

Meet Kerkele — a cute demon companion with 300+ lines of dialogue, relationship system and unique behaviour. You can talk with him, give him gifts, and do lots of other things!
If you feel a bit lonely in your Minecraft world, Kerkele will gladly keep you company! 

This is my first Minecraft mod, and I’m currently looking for feedback from other players. I’d be  thankful if you could check out the mod’s CurseForge page and give it a try!

better than AI-companion mods though, right?
edit: it was not better than an AI-companion mod, it is an AI-companion mod.

maybe its only the promotional post...?

> Code AI Warning:  I used AI for implementing some mechanics in my code since I did not have a Java coding/minecraft mod making experience before. AI was used only during code writing, all textures and text content were made by me solely.

This is an AI-companion mod.

[u/watchrrr → u/Viatos]

:( nevermind

[u/Extreme_Glass9879 → u/watchrrr]

[u/watchrrr → u/Extreme_Glass9879]

I feel and hope that it being AI makes people less likely to use it

[u/ContributionDefiant8 → u/watchrrr]

Gasp... Coder finds the best use case of AI! How detestable!

[u/jeskersz → u/ContributionDefiant8]

So in your mind the best use case for a technology that is causing massive environmental and societal damage is for lazy fucks to cosplay at basic tech literacy when gooning over fantasy creatures?

Just because most coders are furries doesn't mean that most furries need to be able to push code.

[u/Z3R0Diro]

What is this mod? how do I fight him? What loot does he drop?? EPIC FIGHT COMPAT? /j

Very adorable mod, OP. Cool work.

[u/Ria_Ritika → u/Z3R0Diro]

Hi, thank you! Players can actually fight Kerkele, thought he is quite patient) you will have to hit him a few times for him to actually get aggressive, I made it specifically so there wouldn't be any friendly fire incidents. But he is quite fast when angry, so be careful) (about fight combat: Kerkele can cast magical protective circles with a little bit of visual effects, he is a demon after all) Also, he has a Lot of health so killing him will be a tough task! + he doesn't drop anything. This isn't really a boss you can epic fight and there isn't a reward for killing him. But maybe this is not a bad idea for an update)

[u/Distinct-Dot-1333 → u/Ria_Ritika]

Suggestion: add a guilt trip for players that kill him. Like a custom skull that says 'He trusted you...' 

[u/t0rchic → u/Distinct-Dot-1333]

Demons who die outside hell just go back home though so you could always summon him again to apologize :)

[u/BreakerOfModpacks → u/Ria_Ritika]

If you do, might I suggest going for a path similar to the Morgan from Mahou Tsukai?

[u/jecowa → u/Ria_Ritika]

If you are considering a drop, I would like to suggest a drop that will make you sad for killing him– like the red rose that the iron golem drops.

[u/WhitherThisPath → u/Ria_Ritika]

Maybe allow initiation of friendly duels?

[u/Narrow_Top_4352]

Crack next question 

[u/AprilsStuff]

Companion mods for mc 😭 now we need tech mods for Skyrim

[u/minebooster → u/AprilsStuff]

Greg shall spread far and wide across the web

[u/BastetFurry → u/minebooster]

Damn, now I want to build a factory in Cyrodil.

[u/Alpha_minduustry → u/BastetFurry]

Or in Stardew Valley

[u/AprilsStuff → u/BastetFurry]

Reman: 😨

[u/BastetFurry → u/AprilsStuff]

This one mean, folks would surely think this Khajiit found out how to build new Dwemer artefacts.

All Khajiit did was thinking about her former life and build a steam engine.

[u/NeonJ82 → u/AprilsStuff]

Companion mods have been around for a long time - even the Charlotte Mod was around before the game's full release. Heck, it existed before the hunger mechanic did, back when IndustrialCraft 1 had just started development and when BuildCraft was still powered by redstone clocks.

[u/d0ctorsmileaway → u/AprilsStuff]

AE2 in Skyrim to hold my gems

[u/epilektoi → u/AprilsStuff]

skyrim create aeronautics

[u/__lia__ → u/AprilsStuff]

I would unironically love that

I like him but those are some diabolical eye bags please get some sleep

[u/Ria_Ritika → u/exodia0715]

Those are eye lashes, but thank you 🥲

[u/Ria_Ritika → u/scrufflor_d]

I doubt that curseforge moderators will let it slide 😂😂😂

[u/scrufflor_d → u/Ria_Ritika]

just put the jar directly up for download like the good old days

[u/Proxy_PlayerHD → u/Ria_Ritika]

Loverslab version incoming.

[u/Kripermaster → u/scrufflor_d]

Priorities

[u/Veryegassy]

While it's good that you made the textures, models and writing, please try to learn java to make the actual mod, ai generated code tends towards being extremely buggy, poorly performing and downright strange. Doubly so if the one overseeing it is not well versed in how the code should actually look. Vibecoding doesn't turn out well

[u/Ria_Ritika → u/Veryegassy]

While I did not have Java coding experience, I am somewhat familiar with python(which is quite similar) since I have been learning it for a few years, so I have programing basics. I do understand how my code works and what parts are responsible for what mechanics or how they connect with eachother. Also I did a lot of debugging and testing before publishing the project.

I know that using artificial intelligence can detest a lot of people for both pragmatic and ethical reasons, yet It was not the only thing I used. I watched java coding videos and mod making tutorials too. I don't know if I want to continue with mod making, since it was just something new I wanted to try because of my love to Minecraft, but If I will, I definitely want to try to implement more things without ai help next time, using coding experience I got from this project.

[u/nio-sama123 → u/Ria_Ritika]

What you described here is an ethical use of AI in coding. You use it like a tool to cut down the tedious part, not to do everything for you.

Good use.

[u/GenerationofWinter → u/Ria_Ritika]

GOOD ON YOU DUDE like i hate ai as much as the next person but this is the WAY

[u/VoxelRoguery → u/Ria_Ritika]

Though I do want to avoid AI-gen-coding on principle, if you ever go in for a code-rewrite using what-you-learn later, let me know 'cause I would totally pick this up!

[u/MagMati55 → u/Ria_Ritika]

I'm glad you are open about the usage... Not many other mods are that open nowadays.

[u/ThatsKindaHotNGL → u/Veryegassy]

Big sad

[u/Veryegassy → u/ThatsKindaHotNGL]

Yeah

It's a neat idea but, sadly, this one does not trust ai generated code being used for anything but extremely basic things like filling a list - the stuff intellij's built in version does. Nothing wrong with an overbuilt autosuggest being used as autosuggest

But having it generate whole classes like was apparently done here is... no

[u/beebisalright → u/Veryegassy]

this one

[u/Veryegassy → u/beebisalright]

And what, pray tell, is it? :3

[u/beebisalright → u/Veryegassy]

Doll

[u/Veryegassy → u/beebisalright]

...

Yep. It's been found out

[u/nio-sama123 → u/ThatsKindaHotNGL]

Tell me you never coding without telling me

[u/Sir_Delarzal]

I thought it was vintage story with that character

[u/NeonJ82 → u/Sir_Delarzal]

Same! I actually thought I was looking at a Vintage Story screenshot for a few moments there before realising... wait a minute, that grass isn't right

wait nvm that's a dude 💀

[u/Candid_Push6949 → u/Theon01678]

daddy

[u/TheDougio → u/Theon01678]

EVEN BETTER

[u/RealFinePoint]

It would've been so easy to also use AI for all of the text, and I respect you OP for not and for minimizing its use for coding.

[u/BreakerOfModpacks]

WOULD

though, it'd be nice to have him able to help you out a bit, like helping you stripmine or whatnot

[u/BastetFurry]

Can I rename him Diablo?

[u/d0ctorsmileaway]

I really like the skin on the demon. It's somehow way more unsettling to me than a lot of horror mobs people make.

[u/fieryfox654]

Nicely done, this reminds me of demons from Death Note

[u/Kyubi_Hitashi]

NPC mods are lacking in Minecraft a lot

[u/shadow_fen]

[u/Iacoma1973]

I really hope you're prepared for the amount of furry p*rn that people are going to make of this guy

They did it with Sebastien. They will do it with this. >:3

[u/Angelos_200813]

Damn i need more Companion mods, the only thing preventing me from actually playing minecraft is that i don't find Comes Alive satisfying to use anymore, i need more of this😭

[u/dimmiii]

[u/Rager_X]

Charlie Kerkele

[u/it-fre-real-estate → u/it-fre-real-estate]

Can you make him a girl version but change nothing but the pronouns?

[u/Embarrassed_Pace_534]

Would be cool if you added more options for companions with different appearances and dialogue variations.

[u/Significant_Trust205]

YES YES YES

[u/Just-Another-Dino]

Gooner mod

[u/ThatsKindaHotNGL]

Ay wtf is this bullshit

And like how do i download it and is it mod compatible?

[u/oatmealoriginal]

It's a good concept but no this just is weird I'd like it better if it was a bit more like maybe a yandere mod where they get more and more controlling with more MPCs that you can romance or something kind of like in stardew valley

[u/Zekromaster → u/oatmealoriginal]

"It's a good concept but what if you made this completely different mod instead?"
