SUMMARY (to further support all versions, some things have changed):
Companions V1.9.1 - < 1.17.1 support
Companions V1.9.2 - < 1.18.1 support
Companions V1.9.3 - < 1.18.2 support
Companions V1.9.5 - < 1.19.2 Support

THIS IS A FREE VERSION.
The free version will always be lacking behind in terms of Companions stable builds.

Saying that, if you find bugs, please check out the premium version to see if it's fixed before reporting or reviewing.

I have always settled in premium support regardless of where the plugin is obtained, I'd appreciate that the reviews section isn't used as a bug tracking section as all the 1 stars can be really demotivating.

The reason for making Companions semi-free is to pay back to the community as my sole reason isn't only to earn money.

CURRENT FREE VERSION: 1.9.2
CURRENT PREMIUM VERSION 1.9.3

WHY GO PREMIUM?
- Developer Support
- Up to date stable Companion builds

v1.8 - CUSTOM MODEL UPDATE

These are some examples that users have created on their own using the plugin.

(Unfortunately, they don't come in the default plugin - you have to create it yourself, but you can see how creative you can get and create any type of Companions!)

Spoiler: See More Examples

The above are from @CarsonJF#6164 and TheLoungeMC!

(thanks to @CarsonJF#6164 & @JoshuaS#0001 for taking time out to help me test Companions v1.8 on their network. - and also the idea of adding custom models - play.theloungemc.com)

Companions is a plugin that has been around for quite a while. Recently, it was decided to be recoded into Companions Reborn and to be placed onto Spigot's Marketplace so you'd choose this plugin over other newer replica "companions" plugins!

(We have a community marketplace where you can sell/buy custom created Companions!)

Companions allows you to easily create your own custom companions (endless possibilities really), for your players to own. Upon activating a companion, it follows you beside your shoulder (or where you configure it to be) and gives you abilities.
You can easily share your Companion creations with other plugin buyers as well! This is the beauty of Companions!
(Each Companions can have any amount of abilities, please read the WIKI here to learn how to create your own custom companion.)
OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES - VAULT & AN ECONOMY PLUGIN
PlaceholderAPI
NOTE: The aforementioned dependencies are NOT needed for the plugin to run. However, for the best experience, it's recommended to at least have VAULT & AN ECONOMY PLUGIN installed.
[IMG]

The whole plugin is configurable - you are able to create custom companions, tilt how they look, which abilities they give, what item they hold, what name they have, etc. GUI & Abilities are also customizable.

MySQL DATABASE SUPPORT! - Have multiple servers? Allow your players to still have their Companions on those other servers!

BUILT-IN CURRENCY - Don't wanna use an Economy plugin? You can opt out and use our built in currency or don't even use at all!

Supports the creation of Custom Companions - as aforementioned, the possibilities are endless, it's up to you to create the perfect Companions for your players.

Implement a CSGO Skin-like system into your server just by adding different looking Companions but with the same abilities as a collectible system. - e.g, multiple looking Dragons but all gives Fly & Resistance.

Adjust body parts of a Companion, to make it unique only to your server. - This would allow you to make amazing looking Companions.
CUSTOM MODELS, want to make something extremely unique? Like a 3D Ender Dragon? You can!

Custom Abilities that are like custom enchantments (UP TO 50 ABILITIES TO CHOOSE FROM) - You're able to give PVP-like abilities when defending/attacking or a static potion effect. Also, maybe you fancy some amazing abilities like leaping ability, flying ability, or even fireball ability. There is also a COMMAND ability that allows you to execute command(s) every x minutes on x chance! (This allows for custom abilities) - More on the wiki.

UP TO 15 PRE-LOADED COMPANIONS - For you to modify, get inspiration from or copy from! Custom Companion Creation can't get any easier!

Implemented mystery box system for your players to obtain "mystery" Companions!

Trading System! - Allow your players to trade their Companions with each other!

EASILY CONFIGURATION - Plugin will not crash if you get a Sound/Material name wrongly! It'll just give you a friendly prompt in the console to check the name again. (supports down to Spigot 1.8)

Mix & Match Animations to make a custom animation on your own! - meaning, you can add multiple animations to an individual Companion, making the animation's outcome somewhat unique and a creation by you.

It's not the end! Your players are also able to customize their own Companions by changing what their Companions can hold (weapon), their names, and also to upgrade their ability levels so their abilities are stronger!
Companions API allows you to add new features such as new abilities and more!

Companion of the month goes to... THE ENDERMAN (09/AUG/2019)!
