custom_knight
by CN-xinglong
custom_knight lets mobs in the world take up weapons and ride mounts, with the chances and defaults set in its configuration.
What it does
Under the mod, mobs can be turned into knights that carry a weapon and sit on a mount. Both behaviors are adjustable, so a world can have a few knights or many. The spawn chance controls how often a mob becomes a knight, and separate settings choose which weapon type a knight receives and which mount type a mob rides.
The configuration is opened from the in-game mod configuration button and includes a Chinese interface with plain controls. The mount system can be switched off entirely, and its spawn probability can be tuned on its own. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, with a single file published as 1.0 on 2026-03-12, and it is needed on the client and the server. The code is public, but the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
