Knights And Castles
With Knights And Castles installed, a medieval world gains guards, undead and noble knights, lances, katanas and a summonable phoenix.
What it does
The mod adds medieval-themed entities and items to the game. Medieval guards protect villages from threats, undead knights appear during the night, and noble knights can be recruited as allies for extra protection. Lances for jousting and katanas for quicker combat join the new weapons, and a mythical phoenix can be summoned into the world.
Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside the mod on Forge and NeoForge. Video Player and WATERMeDIA: Multimedia API are optional. Client and server both need the mod, and files are published for 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.20.6. The code is not open source and is released under a custom license.
