What it does

Placing a villager's armor stand near the villager turns it into a fighter. A fighter follows the player, equips weapons and armor, attacks mobs that attack the player, and helps defend villages. Each level-up grants Skill Points that can be spent on upgrades. Health can be increased by giving a fighter golden apples, and XP bottles add to its experience.

Fighter Villagers adds advanced movement, so fighters can parkour over rough terrain, jump over lava and blocking, and climb ladders and water paths. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11 alone, and is in development, so some bugs are expected. The author notes that AI-generated code was used during its creation. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
