Description
Gives you one familiar for as long you're holding it.

This mod changes Monster Manual's mechanics completely, and adds a few familiars from Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ to its familiarpool..

Changes:
- Spawns a familiar on use
- After a familliar has been spawned, it will not go away untill Isaac reuses MM or swaps active items
- Monster Manual also spawns in the library now

Unlike before, you won't have more then 1 familiar spawned by Monster Manual at any given time (except with Car battery)

Added familiars:
Incubus, Fate's Reward, Sworn Protector, Friend Zone, Lost Fly, Lil' Gurdy, Seraphim, GB Bug, Spider Mod, Farting Baby, Succubus, Lil' Loki, Obsessed Fan, Papa Fly, MultiDimensional Baby, Big Chubby, Shade, Hushy, Lil' Monstro, King Baby, Bloodshot eye, Mom's Razor, Angry Fly, Lil' Harbringers, Lil' Spewer

I tried to stay in the theme of 'Monsters' when adding familiars,
but I had a little bit of a personal preference as well

Compatible with the External item description mod and the True Co-op mod

If you think I forgot a familiar, if I should remove a familiar or if there are any major bugs, leave a comment and I'll look into it

Check out my MegaMod 2 if you like changes like this!

Anyway...,

<Have fun!>

Honestly I reworked this mod a few times and i'm still not sure if it's functional enough, but I've did the complete same (putting only this mod on and finishing a run) and it does not seem to crash my game after that.

Not sure why, but ever since finishing a run using the Monster Manual and this mod the game crashes as soon as I start the run every time. Even if I turn off every other mod except this one the game crashes right after the load screen.

Beautiful!!!! I actually use it now

Ow alright. If it happens again, let me know though...

I think it might've been a problem with another mod though, because one of the mods I had installed was updated afterwards and the problem stopped.

Wait, you mean that followers stay with you, even if you reset the run?...Cause yeah, that shouldn't happen.

Oughta be in the real game :y or have it give like a passive bff buff to your familiars

Aaaay, no problem
Really do love these "Buff Mods" for mediocre items
They actually makes them....items I can use!

@Blacksmith-Cutolo: Fixed it, srry for the inconvenience...
@piber20: That's sort' of where i'm going for with this :D, thx for the compliment

Major Bug Found:
When this Mod is enabled, items that spawn Blue Flies and Blue Spiders, (Guppy's Head, Box of Spiders, etc), WILL NOT spawn them.
