v1.8.0: Mounts, companions and NPC scenes

23 October 2026

Talking to NPCs

Talking to an NPC is now a scene instead of a pop-up window.

Click an NPC and the camera glides in to face them. They stand on the left of your screen, with a panel on the right showing what they say, your quest or shop options, and the rewards.
Their words type out as they speak. Press Space to skip ahead.
W / S move between options, Space chooses one, and Shift walks away.
When you leave, the camera glides back and you’re exactly where you were standing.
Shops, the Riftforge and other menus open from the panel as before.
This works for every NPC: the keepers, Orin, Kael, Ilsa, Brann, Orla, Wren and the Wanderer.
Bedrock players keep the pop-up window for now. Commands like /quests and /forge still open their usual windows.

Mounts (survival world)

Ride big custom animals: Dire Wolf, Tiger, Lion, Leopard, Frost Bear, Bamboo Bear, Mountain Ram, Ember Fox, Bog Leaper, Sea Turtle and Crimson Boar. Each one has its own model.

Earn them from Wren Halloway, the Stablemaster. Her stable is just east of the survival spawn.
Every mount has its own quest in the biome it really lives in. Follow the tracks with a Tracker’s Compass, bring Wren supplies, clear the area of monsters, and win the herd’s trust over three days. Then beat the Herd Alpha and ride the wild one for 60 seconds without being thrown.
There are three tiers. Dire Wolf, Ember Fox and Mountain Ram open after Orin’s tour. The rest need a levelled mount and more Power.
/mount lists your mounts, /mount <name> calls one and /mount dismiss sends it home. Ride with W/A/S/D, Space to jump, Sprint to run and Shift to get off.
Mounts level up to 30 as you ride, and every level makes them faster.
Barding from Wren (Cinders and Rift Shards) gives your mount more health and armour, from leather up to netherite.
Elytra barding (mount level 20, an elytra, phantom membranes and Rift Shards) lets it fly. Press Space twice to take off.
Mounts can’t die. Hurt one too badly and it bolts, and you can call it again after a cooldown (5 minutes, down to 2 at level 30).
Mounts are yours alone and can’t be traded.
Mount quests give Stardust at every step, and some give a companion too.
You never take fall damage while riding.

Companions

Small creatures that follow you around: Tiger Cub, Frost Pup, Drowned Princeling, Spire Imp, Ember Wisp, Rift Moth, Lantern Owl, Stardust Slime, Clockwork Beetle, Snowball Penguin and more.

They’re just for fun. They don’t fight, help or get in the way, and everyone can see them.
/companion opens your collection, where you can call one out or send it home. Only one can be out at a time.
Earn them from Orin’s tour (Lantern Owl), the Delver’s Path (Rift Moth), the Drowned King (rare), Spire floor 10 (Spire Imp), the Cinder Colossus (rare) and the mount quests.
Some can be bought with Stardust. Collect 6 for the [Keeper] title, or all of them for [Menagerie].
Companions come with you in the lobby, survival and mining worlds, and wait outside dungeons, the Spire and duels.

The FellasMC Resource Pack

Mounts and companions need our resource pack.

Java: you’ll be asked to download it when you join. Accept it to play, or the server can’t let you in.
Bedrock: it downloads automatically.
It’s small: about 0.3 MB on Java and 1.5 MB on Bedrock.
