What is Friends & Foes?
Friends & Foes by faboslav implements the mobs Minecraft voted against: Copper Golem, Moobloom, Glare, Iceologer, Tuff Golem, Rascal, Wildfire, and companions, each expanded from their announcement concepts into full vanilla-quality features. It ships for Fabric (primary) with Forge and NeoForge builds.
For players who watched five mob votes with regret, this is the redemption arc.
The Roster
- Copper Golem – craftable helper that presses copper buttons and oxidizes over time; wax it to freeze its patina like any copper block.
- Moobloom – flower-covered cow that plants blooms as it wanders; bees adore it.
- Glare – grumpy moss friend that leads you to dark spots where mobs can spawn — a living light-level overlay.
- Iceologer – the Chillager himself, dropping ice-magic loot from mountain ambushes.
- Tuff Golem – statue-like item display that occasionally strolls; part decor, part butler.
- Rascal – mineshaft hide-and-seek imp that rewards finding it three times with good loot.
- Wildfire – blaze-lord miniboss of ruined Nether structures with a shield-shard fight and matching drops.
- Barnacle and Great Hunger implementations round out the older vote losses in recent versions.
Everything integrates as vanilla-plus, with worldgen touches like Iceologer cabins and Wildfire structures, its own advancement lines, and zero power creep.
Friends & Foes FAQ
How do you make a Copper Golem?
Build it like a snow golem using copper blocks with a lightning rod (recipe per version documented in-game). It presses copper buttons and slowly oxidizes; honeycomb wax pauses the aging.
Is Friends & Foes vanilla-balanced?
Yes, the mobs match their announced concepts with vanilla-tier drops and behavior; the mod adds character density without changing game balance.
