Overview

Jenny Mod: Enhanced Edition is a community remaster of the original Jenny Mod, which the project describes as long unmaintained. The repository rewrites the mod's backend and ports it to Forge across Minecraft 1.18 through 1.21.11, claiming fixed pathfinding and interaction logic, a resolved world-load crash on 1.20+, and updated textures and animations. It is for players running Forge on those Minecraft versions who want a working NPC companion mod. This is a fan project, not affiliated with the original developer or Mojang project README.

Install and run

1. Open the latest release. Per the README, the download button there redirects to an external website because GitHub flags .jar files; the mod is not hosted directly on GitHub.
2. Download the .zip archive and extract it. It contains a .jar for each supported Minecraft version, named like jenny-enhanced-1.20.1.jar.
3. Move only the .jar matching your exact Minecraft version into %appdata%\.minecraft\mods.
4. Launch Minecraft with the Forge profile for that version.

The README lists support for every release in the 1.18.x, 1.19.x, 1.20.x and 1.21.x lines up to 1.21.11 supported versions. The GitHub repository itself does not contain the mod binaries, so the install cannot be completed from the repo alone.

Constraints

• Platform is Forge on Windows; no other mod loader or OS is described.
• The .jar must match the exact Minecraft version; mixing versions is not supported.
• The README states that antivirus software may flag the file, attributing it to custom AI libraries, and suggests a Windows Defender exception FAQ.
• Downloads come from a third-party site rather than GitHub releases, so the released files are not verifiable through the repository.
• Licensed MIT; distributed as a fan project with use at your own risk disclaimer.

HotRepo's take

The repo recorded 285 stars and 74 forks on the JavaScript new-project list on 2026-11-01, with 105 stars gained that day on average since creation, and no GitHub daily-rank entry. The language metadata is misleading: the project ships Java Minecraft mods as .jar files and hosts no code corresponding to that growth. Combined with a README that directs downloads off GitHub and warns of antivirus flags, the repository functions as a landing page for external files rather than a mod source. Users should weigh the project's claims against the fact that no build artifacts are available in the repository.
