Fighter Villagers
This mod adds a fighter type villager to the game, acting as your personal guards similar to dogs. The mod aims to feel like a vanilla extension of Minecraft.
Mod is still in development, expect a few bugs.
Features
- They can become a fighter by placing down an armor stand near the villager.
- Once the villager is a fighter you can make them follow you up to 5 at a time.
- You can increase their health stats by giving them golden apples or leveling them up by fighting mobs, or level them up by giving them XP bottles.
- Each level-up gains Skill Points which can be used to purchase upgrades for the villager.
- They have advanced movement mechanics allowing them to parkour rough terrain such as jumping over lava blocking the path or climbing ladders and water.
- Fighter villagers will help defend villages while not following the player.
- They will attack any mobs attacked by the player.
Best used with Fresh Animations.
