Millager (Village Defenders)
by LZYZL6
Millager adds a village militia: villagers take up standing military roles such as Archer, Lancer and Doctor, and players can give them orders during raids.
What it does
Millager gives villagers a set of military professions, including ranged units, mounted cavalry, summoners and heavy infantry. Each unit has its own weapons and abilities, and villagers can be converted into a chosen role through Profession Orders. Once converted, a villager keeps a memory of whoever gave the order, and regards that player as a friend.
Raid reinforcements, patrols and military structures are spread across the world, so defenders can be found before a raid starts. Commanders work at a Sand Table workstation and trade intelligence, explosives and supplies in exchange for Muster Orders. Golem Amber is a wax-and-glass construct the player places manually; it fixes onto a target and blows up on impact, and it turns back into its original state if left in place for too long.
Millager needs Fabric API on every loader. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven game versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Military villager roles
Archers, Lancers, Scouters, Swordmasters, Maulers, Riotters, Breachers and Doctors each fight in a distinct way.
Summoned golems
Doctor units build Iron Golems and Bee Golems, though no more than three golems built by a Doctor can be active simultaneously.
Player-issued orders
Players can give orders to defenders, and converted villagers keep a memory of the player who ordered them.
Special arrows and rockets
Archers pick up special arrows that enhance them, and Scouters fire high-damage firework rockets and sound a horn.
Golem Amber
A wax-and-glass construct that locks onto a target, detonates on contact and reverts if left deployed too long.
