I recently played Palworld, and while the game suffers from many problems, one thing I really liked about the game was the base pals system, where you assign pals to do certain tasks based on what skills they have. They could mine, cut trees, craft, smelt stuff, etc. They could store the products in storage containers automatically as well.
Are there any Minecraft Java mods that do something like this? I’m aware of MineColonies, but that is more on a larger scale than, say, a small base.
So there’s Pixelmon but that is mainly the capturing and battling, not tasks and skills based on the creature.
There’s also Critters and Companions where tamed creatures can dig and do other base Minecraft tasks
Last suggestion is Rats which will let you automate and do nearly anything in Minecraft with Rats
