Lovely Robot: Legacy

0.1.0-alpha — 2026-06-24

Minecraft 1.21.1

Initial alpha release. Seven robot types, 16 colours, full feature set — rebuilt from the ground up on a clean multi-loader architecture.

NeoForge 1.21.1: Currently not included in this build due to a NeoGradle hash validation issue unrelated to the mod code. NeoForge support will be added once the tooling issue is resolved.

Robot Types

All 7 robot types are registered and functional:

• Vanilla — balanced all-rounder (HP 20, ATK 4, DEF 2, SPD 0.30, cap lvl 100)
• Bunny — fast explorer (HP 20, ATK 4, DEF 2, SPD 0.35, cap lvl 100)
• Bunny2 — Bunny with more combat presence (HP 20, ATK 4, DEF 2, SPD 0.35, cap lvl 100)
• Honey — support-oriented (HP 15, ATK 2, DEF 1, SPD 0.25, cap lvl 80)
• Dragon — heavy combat (HP 40, ATK 8, DEF 6, SPD 0.25, cap lvl 150)
• Neko — agile fighter (HP 20, ATK 6, DEF 3, SPD 0.35, cap lvl 120)
• Kitsune — support and buff (HP 25, ATK 3, DEF 2, SPD 0.30, cap lvl 100)

All types available in 16 dye colours.

Levelling System

• Robots gain XP in the field and level up to type-specific caps
• Named robots receive a small XP bonus once named

Protection System

• Damage type resistance scales with robot level
• Integrates with enchantments via EnchantmentProtectionCalculator

Combat

• Per-type combat specialisations and unique abilities
• Dragon intimidation presence, Neko agility patterns, Kitsune buff behaviour

Quality of Life

• Smart Core Retrieval — if a robot dies nearby, her core auto-flies to your inventory; if out of range, the core glows for visibility
• Ctrl+Shift+Empty Hand pickup — converts your robot back to a spawn item with all data preserved
• Health persistence — robot health is saved across world reloads

Animations

• Sitting pose with dynamic hitbox, random delay transitions, and vehicle sitting support (boats, minecarts, horses)
• Animation Profile System — profile-driven animation across all types, replacing the previous per-type AnimationStateManager

Core Glow

Known Issues

• NeoForge 1.21.1 build currently broken due to NeoGradle tooling issue (not mod code)
• Robots may struggle with pathfinding through doors (height detection)
• Texture mirroring on robot chest (cosmetic, low priority)
• Edge-case animation desync in multiplayer
• Performance not optimised for 10+ active robots simultaneously
• Loot tables, entity type tags, and advancements not yet implemented
• Asset coverage not fully verified for Honey, Dragon, Neko, and Kitsune (Vanilla and Bunny2 confirmed)
