Fairies & the Ring of Binding
Bind specialized companions for combat, work, and travel.
Bind and release
Wear a Ring of Binding, then use a typed Fairy Charm. The Charm is consumed and binds its fixed Fairy role. A ring holds up to 15 Fairies. Sneak-use the ring to release bound Charms.
An untuned Charm gives a plain Fairy. Typed Charms provide the specialist roles below. Keep the ring worn for its bound helpers to operate.

Beta limitations
A 1.21.1 gameplay check found that a juvenile animal could be bred, and the 1.21.11 release notes disclose the inherited eligibility issue. Do not rely on adult-only selection in either current beta.
Follow-up playtesting also reproduced duplicate offspring from one adult pair on 0.2.1+1.21.1. That reproduction has not been verified on 1.21.11; no fix is released.
If the in-game Ring of Binding page sends you to a general Vortex entry, use Accessory Loadout for the binding requirements. The in-game guide link is under review.
Fairies use custom in-world sprite helpers in the modern port. Their behavior can interact with other mods and world conditions; this reference does not imply every combination has been tested.
