REQUIRED MODS:
- Guard Villagers
- Create: Alloyed (For steel equipment)
- Savage & Ravage (For beheader)
- Shield Expansion (For custom shields)
This datapack buffs guards so they have better gear in general, general features are:
- Every armor piece has a 20% chance to be enchanted between 15-30 levels; (Except diamond)
- Every melee weapon has a 20% chance to be enchanted between 3-24 levels;
- Guards now have a chance to spawn with steel weapons from Alloyed;
- Guards now have a chance to spawn with shields from Shield Expansion;
- Adds bows & axes to weapon pool;
- Upped chance for spawning with armor by a lot.
Made this simple datapack quickly to compensate for the fact that in my modpack the guards nearly immediately die.
Honestly, I may not update this but this may serve as a good example for you how to customize the guards loadout through datapacks.
