Guard Villagers TACZ Support
by dddanpppan
Guard Villagers TACZ Support lets guard villagers, zombies and pillagers hold and fire TACZ guns, with ammo handling and target selection built on the Guard Villagers behavior.
What it does
Guard villagers, zombies and pillagers can be spawned and equipped with TACZ weapons. Each one searches for ammunition, including condensed ammo boxes, and draws on vanilla containers such as chests and barrels when it runs low. A guard that is hurt can retreat to find food and heal before returning to the fight.
The mod keeps the original Guard Villagers configuration in place, so the spawn and weapon options can be adjusted on the server. Guards pick hostile targets within range, reposition to get a clear line of sight, and avoid firing at passive mobs, players and other villagers such as chickens. Weapons and ammo types added by TACZ addons also work with the mod.
The mod is server-side only: players join without installing it, and only the server needs it. It requires the Guard Villagers mod and TACZ, and a compatibility layer built on Guard Villagers UNOFFICIAL TaCZ 1.21.1 NeoForge Port is listed among its works-with entries. It is released for NeoForge 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and its source code is public.
