Dark Whisper

by corodin.

Dark Whisper, a Forge mod for 1.20.1, turns recruited villagers and mercenaries into a medieval army with commands, battle formations and orc hordes.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Players can hire city guards, archers, recruits and soldiers, paying them with coins, and summon guards with a recruiter's staff bought from an armorer. A commander halberd lets the player command the army, including infantry and archer battle formations. The mod is described by its author as a work in progress that expands toward a full role-playing conversion, with an end game of gear and weapons that have unique abilities.

Installation needs Huge Structure Blocks and Pehkui alongside the mod. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 0.0.1 as the latest file, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.

Key features

  1. Hireable troops

    Guards, archers, recruits and soldiers can be recruited for coins, and the coin recipes can be looked up in the recipe viewer.

  2. Army commands

    A commander halberd directs recruited troops, and battle formations are available for both infantry and archers.

  3. Orc hordes at night

    Hordes of orcs spawn at night, and the player cannot sleep through them while the lore-driven core gameplay runs.
