Lovely Robot: Legacy

Overview

Lovely Robot: Legacy is the current-generation companion mod. Craft a robot, give her a name, bring her along — and watch what happens when you actually spend time together.

Several robot types. Sixteen colours each. A levelling system, combat specialisations, and a protection mechanic that scales with the bond you’ve built. Legacy is the version most players know, now rebuilt from the ground up on a clean multi-loader foundation.

It’s vanilla-friendly, but it rewards players who go deep.

Robot Types

Each type has a distinct personality, stat profile, and combat role.

| Robot | Role | Highlight |
|——-|——|———–|
| Vanilla | All-rounder | Balanced starter companion |
| Bunny | Speed | Fastest movement, great for exploration |
| Bunny2 | Speed / Combat | Bunny with more bite |
| Bunny3 | Speed / Pastel | Bunny in a softer colour palette |
| Honey | Support | Resource management and automation |
| Dragon | Heavy Combat | Highest damage, intimidation aura |
| Neko | Agile Combat | High attack speed, pounce, night vision |
| Kitsune | Support / Buff | Fox blessings, tail progression up to 9 tails |

All types are available in 16 dye colours.

Features

• Levelling system — robots gain XP in the field and level up to type-specific caps (80–150)
• Named robots level faster — a small XP bonus once you give your robot a name
• Protection system — damage type resistance scales with level and integrates with enchantments
• Combat specialisations — each robot type has unique abilities and combat patterns
• Smart Core Retrieval — if your robot dies nearby, her core flies back to your inventory automatically; glowing outline if she’s out of range
• Ctrl+Shift+Empty Hand pickup — convert your robot back to a spawn item without losing any data
• Health persistence — robot health is preserved across world reloads
• Sitting animations — dynamic hitbox, random delay transitions, vehicle sitting support (boats, minecarts, horses)
• Core glow — colour-coded team scoreboard integration, 16 colours
• Base Defense Scan — four patrol patterns (FULL_SCAN, DOUBLE_SWEEP, QUADRANT_CHECK, RANDOM_POINTS)
• Commands — /llovely with list, summon, teleport, stats, config

How This Differs from the Original

The original Lovely Robot by lilacx02 was a 1.12.2 Forge mod with four robot types and basic companion behaviour. Lovely Robot: Legacy is a full rebuild for modern Minecraft that adds:

• Three additional robot types (Dragon, Neko, Kitsune)
• 16-colour dye palette across all types
• Levelling system with type-specific caps
• Protection system with damage type resistance and enchantment integration
• Smart Core Retrieval on death
• Base defense scan with four patrol patterns
• Multi-loader support (Fabric, Forge, NeoForge)
• Cross-version save migration from 1.12.2 originals

The robots look like the originals because that was the intent — to continue and expand lilacx02’s work. The code that makes them behave is new.
