BetterMineTeam

by i113w

BetterMineTeam is a Forge and NeoForge reworking of the original team mod, letting players recruit mobs as teammates who fight alongside them.

What it does

Players tame creatures by right-clicking them with a Golden Apple, and the taming materials are included by default. Tamed mobs can be switched between Follow and Stay, renamed and sent to a chosen location at once. A management panel opened by item or command lets a player inspect a member's inventory within a configurable range and change its armor, main hand and off-hand items. Configuration is thorough, which suits modpack builders.

The mod keeps the original idea of letting players join one of 16 teams and ally with monsters. Its AI and management tools were rewritten from scratch, and the unstable timer mechanic of the original was removed while other timers were added. Camera modes come from i113w's Camera Lib, which provides an RTS-style overhead camera for tactical control. Because the code was largely rewritten, the mod is compatible with the original only in part.

The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, and it is open source under the MIT License. Both the server and every player need it, and Camera Lib is required as well. Installation alongside the base team mod is expected.

Questions

Does BetterMineTeam need Camera Lib?

Yes. Camera Lib by i113w is required, since it provides the RTS camera system used by the tactical overhead view.

Which loaders does BetterMineTeam support?

Forge and NeoForge only. Forge files cover 1.20.1 and 26.1.2, and NeoForge files target 1.21.1.

Is BetterMineTeam compatible with the original team mod?

Only in part. The code was largely rewritten, so the original mod is compatible with it only partly.
