How to Handle Recurring Encounters with Distant Friends

Encountering a distant friend is not a one-time event. The mod causes these entities to appear periodically as you explore and work throughout your world.

Understanding the Encounter Cycle

• Periodic appearances: Distant friends will spawn occasionally somewhere nearby as you go about your normal gameplay, such as farming, building, or travelling.
• Persistent observation: Whenever one spawns, it will position itself at range, watch your movements, and use gestures like waving and sneaking to get noticed.
• Immediate reset on approach: As soon as you move within 5 to 10 blocks, the entity disappears completely, clearing the immediate encounter.

Adapting Your Routine

• Expect future sightings: Vanishing does not mean the phenomenon is cured or finished; another distant friend will eventually generate in another distant spot later on.
• Continue normal tasks: Because distant friends cannot be captured, fought, or communicated with up close, the most practical reaction is simply to acknowledge their presence from afar and continue your work until they vanish or despawn.
