Ancient Warfare 3 NPCs
Ancient Warfare 3 NPCs brings the Ancient Warfare 2 villager workers into modern Minecraft, letting townspeople farm, cut timber and dig in quarries once they are given a job.
What it does
Workers are assigned by clicking them with a wooden tool. Each worker needs food, which comes from the town hall or from a custom upkeep point the player sets up. Workers also want to sleep at night, so a home should be set for each one; without a home they stand in the open and can be attacked by monsters.
The mod currently adds three worker types. The farmer tends a crop farm and works on millstones, the lumberjack works a tree farm and the woodmill, and the miner works a quarry. The mod is for NeoForge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 0.3.6 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
