Copper warrior
by german_grief
Players who want a loyal guard force can recruit Copper Warriors in Copper Warrior, a NeoForge mob mod for 1.21.1 that adds armed copper companions.
What it does
Copper Warrior turns copper, a decorative block resource, into a set of companions that fight beside the player. Each warrior is an intelligent unit with its own AI, so it responds to the situation instead of following a fixed script, and it does not need commands to take part in a fight. The mod is aimed at players who want an army they can raise without managing pets one by one.
Three roles are available: a Mace Master that leaps onto enemies, an Elite Archer that keeps its distance and fires from range, and a Medic that heals allied warriors. Warriors slowly regain health out of combat. Items such as sugar cane and paper are used to give a warrior a support role, and a Fortune and Looting bonus applies to nearby tools when a support warrior is present.
The squad has three modes, selected by right-clicking with an empty hand: stay put to guard an area, actively accompany the player, or protect a specific point. If a squad member moves more than 30 blocks away, it is teleported back to its side. The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, and the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
