Familiar blocks

Familiar Bed

Familiar beds are blocks familiars use to sleep and recover health. Familiars that are missing health search for a free bed nearby and sleep in it until they're healed. Each bed holds one familiar. Beds come in all 16 dye colors: right-click a placed bed with a dye to recolor it.

Beds also hatch Familiar Eggs. While a bed holds an egg, no familiar can sleep in it, and breaking the bed drops the egg.

Familiar Storage

The familiar storage (familiar house) stores up to 10 familiars. Familiars inside it are invulnerable, but they also won't attack other mobs, with some exceptions.

It has 2 modes:

• Store mode: move familiars freely between your familiars and the storage.
• Wander mode: stored familiars wander around the house. A slider sets how far they can go, from 3 to 25 blocks (25 by default); those that stray too far are brought back. You can also turn their abilities on or off while they wander.

Wandering familiars go back inside on their own when they drop below 30% health, and sometimes at night or when it rains.

A familiar storage can only be broken by its owner, only in store mode, and only when it's empty.

Important: only 1 familiar storage block can be used in a 16 block radius.

Shrinking Station

The shrinking station (the "Shrinkinator") shrinks items to familiar size:

• Food: any food item becomes familiar food, which can be given to any familiar to heal it.
• Cosmetics: hats and weapons become cosmetics that familiars can wear (see Cosmetics).
• Dyes: any dye becomes a shrunk dye, which colors a familiar's eyes (see Familiar colors).
• Other recipes: familiar mods add their own, such as Alshanex's Familiars' armor plates and tiny shield.

It works with hoppers: insert into it, and pull the results out. JEI shows every shrinking recipe in its own category.
