assistant
by thecarrs96
Assistant lets players tame zombies on NeoForge, turning them into companions that can guard, fight and stay where they are placed.
What it does
A zombie is tamed with a torch-and-flower item used on it with a right click, and the tamed zombie then takes orders from the player. Bone and sword right-clicks switch an assistant between following and staying in place, and between attacking whatever attacks its owner and standing down. When the owner attacks something, the assistants follow that target. Assistant is published for NeoForge only, in 1.21.4 and 1.21.8 builds, with 1.1.2 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
