Champion Companions

Champion Companions

Discover, challenge, and recruit League-inspired champions in survival Minecraft.

Champion Companions brings rare champion encounters, unique combat abilities, and a growing party of companions to your world.

Explore to find them, prove yourself in battle, and recruit them to fight alongside you. Develop their abilities, craft equipment around their strengths, and let them help with everyday survival.

Six Champions, Six Playstyles

Each champion has their own abilities, combat behavior, progression, and encounter conditions.

• Nami — Support: Heals allies, empowers attacks, and disrupts enemies with water-based abilities.
• Darius — Melee Fighter: Excels in close-range combat with powerful attacks and bleeding damage.
• Ashe — Ranged Fighter: Keeps her distance, slows enemies, and fights with a bow and frost-based abilities.
• Lux — Mage: Controls fights from range with roots, shields, slowing zones, and a powerful ultimate.
• Warwick — Hunter: Chases wounded enemies, heals through his bite, and locks down targets with a pouncing ultimate.
• Braum — Tank / Support: Protects allies with his shield, leaps to their defense, and interrupts enemies with stuns and knock-ups.

Discover Rare Encounters

Champions naturally appear in environments that suit them. Biomes, weather, terrain, and time of day can influence encounters, with different rarities and challenge difficulties.

You can also discover three small champion sites:

• Nami’s Tidecaller Shrine
• Ashe’s Frostwatch Camp
• Warwick’s Ruined Hunting Camp

Each site includes a wild champion and a supply barrel.

These sites generate in new terrain. In existing worlds, explore beyond previously generated chunks to find them.

Challenge Before You Recruit

Finding a champion doesn’t immediately make them your ally.

Challenge them, survive their abilities, and defeat the encounter to earn a new companion. Champions fight their challenges at Level 6, giving them access to their full ability kit—including their ultimate.

Once recruited, they begin their own progression at Level 1.

Level Up Your Companions

Champions can grow from Level 1 to Level 18, gaining stronger stats and ranking up their abilities along the way.

• Level 1: Q ability available.
• Level 2: W ability unlocks.
• Level 3: E ability unlocks, alongside a champion-specific companion upgrade.
• Level 6: Ultimate ability unlocks.
• Level 10: Another champion-specific companion upgrade.
• Levels 11 and 16: Ultimate ability ranks increase.

Craft Items and Create Builds

Equip champions with League-inspired items, crafted through survival-friendly Minecraft recipes.

Each companion has six active champion-item slots and twelve backpack slots. Equipment affects their build; backpack storage keeps gathered supplies separate.

Build around stats including:

• Attack Damage and Ability Power
• Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Damage
• Attack Speed and Ability Haste
• Health, Mana, and Mana Regeneration
• Heal and Shield Power
• Life Steal, Movement Speed, and Tenacity

Choose items that complement each champion’s abilities and the role you want them to fill.

Help Around Home

Companions can do more than fight:

• Nami — Fishing / Aquatic Gathering: Fishes and gathers aquatic loot when suitable water is nearby.
• Darius — Lumberjack: Cuts natural trees, gathers wood and saplings, and replants, with checks designed to protect player builds.
• Lux — Farming: Harvests and replants wheat, carrots, potatoes, and beetroot. Radiant Growth also helps young crops grow.
• Ashe — Hunting: Hunts livestock while preserving at least four nearby adults of each supported animal type. Babies, named animals, and leashed animals are protected.
• Warwick and Braum — Night Watch: Patrol for monsters at night and collect their drops during the day.
• All champions — Gather Drops: Collect nearby dropped items into their backpacks.

Working companions display their current activity and unload full backpacks into nearby chests or barrels.

Jobs grant a small amount of XP up to Level 5, helping new recruits get started.

Useful Beyond Combat

Champion utility abilities give your party more ways to help:

• Nami grants Water Breathing.
• Ashe scouts and reveals threats.
• Lux provides a temporary guiding light.
• Warwick tracks wounded threats.
• Braum restores hunger and grants brief Regeneration with Hearty Meal.

Nami, Lux, and Braum also support optional automatic use of their utility abilities.

Command Your Party

Choose where your companions go and how they fight.

Movement commands include Follow, Stay, Return Home, Guard Home, and Guard This Area. Separate Passive, Defend, and Aggressive combat stances let you control their behavior without changing their assigned position.

Default Controls

• Hold G — Open the command wheel.
• Tab in the wheel — Switch between one companion and your nearby party.
• Scroll in the wheel — Select a companion.
• Number keys 1–8 in the wheel — Select a command.
• J — Cycle the selected companion.
• H — Toggle the companion HUD.

Controls are rebindable. Party commands affect your own available companions within 64 blocks in the same dimension.

Optional Companion HUD

The compact HUD shows your selected companion’s level, health, mana, and status.

Enable expandedPartyHud in the client config for a nearby-party list, distance information, and the selected companion’s ultimate and utility cooldowns.

Your HUD visibility setting is remembered after restarting.

Revive Fallen Companions

By default, recruited champions go down instead of dying permanently.

Clear nearby threats, then revive them through their interaction menu. Revival costs three bread by default, and the cost can be changed in the config.

Prefer permanent champion deaths? Enable permanentDeath in config/champion-companions.json.
