Cardboard Pet
Summon a cardboard-box-shaped companion mob that watches your back as you explore. Left alone it just sits there, but summon it and it becomes your shield — arm it with a sword and it fights alongside you.

Features
Defends its owner, but doesn’t attack indiscriminately — always fights hostile mobs, otherwise reacts only when its owner is involved
Never attacks its owner or its own kind
Flight charge — flies straight at distant targets, landing hits mid-air
Equippable — shift + right-click to arm/disarm; comes with a glowing Cardboard Sword
Never lost, never despawns — whistle recalls every box you own
Covered if you die — summoner auto-returns, equipment returns directly to you
Can be made giant — 2.5x size via a dedicated wand
