Ck7 - Be My Sword
by Devi
Ck7 - Be My Sword adds recruitable human guardians that follow the player, fight nearby monsters and grow stronger through combat, as a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6.
What it does
Guardians are recruited with a Golden Apple and then managed through a dedicated GUI, where the player equips armor, main hand and offhand items, and stores items and potions in a leveled inventory. Each guardian starts at Level 1 with 20 HP and rises to Level 10, and its stats grow as it levels up. Natural village spawning and a dedicated guardian house structure place guardians in villages, and guardians can be bred using Glistering Melon Slices.
Once tamed, a guardian attacks monsters near it on its own. It blocks hits with an equipped shield, switches to a bow at level 5 and above, throws tridents depending on what it holds, drinks Strength, Speed and Regeneration potions from its own inventory when a fight starts, eats food to heal, and throws Regeneration splash potions at wounded allies. Guardians also hold a dialogue, can be set to sit, follow or hold still, and can be told not to chase.
The mod is inspired by the Guard Villagers mod for Minecraft and expands on it with a more interactive, RPG-like experience. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. Files are published for Forge only, with the latest build 2.0.0 for 1.20.6, released 2026-07-08.
