She sees your world and talks back
She knows your health, hunger, inventory, the biome, the time and weather, what you're looking at and the monsters nearby, and answers out loud.
Pip, what can you see around us?
A companion mod for Minecraft Java 1.21.1 · Fabric · free and open source · early preview
Meet Pip, a little spirit who keeps you company while you play
She floats beside you, sees your game, talks with you out loud and helps when you ask. She warns you when a creeper sneaks up, remembers your adventures, and has a heart of her own. Your world stays yours: nothing is added to it, and you can take her out any time.
See her in action
Four minutes in a singleplayer test world: finding sheep, mining, chopping, crafting help, a cottage from a blueprint, a little magic, a creeper, a place she remembers, her feelings, her glow at night and her skins.
What she does
Mostly, you just talk to her and find out along the way. Hold V and speak, or type in the game's chat.

She finds things and leads the way
Ores, animals, villages, any structure or biome. She floats ahead with an arrow, the distance and a trail of sparkles, and calls you back if you go the wrong way.
Where are the sheep? Lead the way.
She lends a hand
She mines the block you look at with your own pickaxe, at its real speed, and chops whole trees. What drops goes into your inventory.
Now chop this tree and bring me the logs.
She builds with you
Simple shapes with your blocks, or whole buildings from blueprint files, door toward you. She checks before a big one and never builds over what you built.
Build us a cozy cottage right here, for two.
She watches over you
Instant warnings for a creeper close by, lava or a big drop ahead and low health. She pushes monsters away, and at night her soft glow lights the way.
It's so dark out here. Can you light the way?
She's yours to dress up
A slime, a soft cube, a fairy, a pixie, a glowing wisp, a strawberry, a starry orb, Sprout with its leaves, or your own picture.

She has a heart
Pip isn't a menu of commands. She's a whimsical little spirit, delighted by ordinary things and curious about you. Kindness brings her closer: she opens up, suggests plans and plays harmless pranks. Hit her or be mean and she keeps her distance, sulks, or vanishes for a while. She forgives quickly.
She discovers her powers with you. She doesn't know what she can do until you ask. "I'll try!", she says, and a little later: "I can sense diamonds now!"
She remembers. Who you are, what you like, your places, a diary of your sessions, and reminders ("in 10 minutes", "at night", "next time we play"). Each world has its own Pip, unless you'd rather she followed you everywhere.
Play with friends on your LAN
One Pip, on the computer that runs her. Friends on the same network join your world and see her exactly as you do. They talk to her in chat ("Pip, ..."), and she knows who said what. Friends need only the mod: no AI, no keys, nothing else.
Made to be kind to you and your computer
- Your world stays yours No new blocks, items or mobs, nothing saved in your world. She only changes things when you ask, the way a player or a command would, and every power can be switched off.
- Bring your own AI Gemini by default (it has a free tier), your Claude subscription, Ollama on your own computer, or another provider. Hearing and voice run on your computer.
- Light on your game She adapts to your frame rate and hardware. Built on a fanless laptop, with nothing heavy on the game's threads.
- Your memories stay with you Her memories live on your computer. The AI you choose sees only your words, a short description of your game and the few memories that matter.
Made in the open
Kindred Spirit is free software under the GNU AGPL-3.0, written with an AI coding assistant and said so openly. It's an early preview: hosting Pip needs a Mac for now, while friends on Windows can join with just the mod. Ideas, bug reports and contributions are welcome.
