AdvanceArmy
by SAGER1902
With AdvanceArmy installed, players can field armies of AI-controlled soldiers and drive armed military vehicles in Minecraft.
What it does
AdvanceArmy is a Forge Transportation mod, themed on military warfare, that adds controllable combat AI soldiers from several military factions and armed vehicles that players can drive, either alone or with other players. The soldiers take orders and support the player in fights, and the mod also includes monsters and defensive challenges built around armies.
The author describes the project as a showcase of the most advanced features the developer could build on WarMachineLib, and the troops and vehicles were updated for newer versions faster than the author's other mods. Installing SagerFx alongside the mod gives a fuller particle effects experience, since the mod has no particle effects of its own. The content is set in a world where allied and chaotic forces from other times and parallel worlds have arrived.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.16.5 and 1.20.1, and the latest file targets 1.20.1. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Controllable AI soldiers
Combat soldiers controlled by AI can be commanded by the player and fight alongside them.

Vehicles with weapons can be driven by players or handled by AI support units during battles.
Multiple military factions

Hostile armies and defensive scenarios put the player's forces against enemy waves.
Support skills and combo rewards
Troops can use support skills, and chaining actions in combination earns rewards.
