Cave Buddy

Cave Buddy

Your little companion for underground adventures.

Exploring caves can get dangerous, but you don’t have to do it alone. Cave Buddy adds a small, tameable companion to Minecraft Java Edition that can follow you underground and help you keep an eye on your surroundings.

Feed it glow berries, bring it along on your mining trips, and use its warnings to stay aware of nearby dangers. When you get separated, use the Cave Buddy Whistle to call your companion back!
