by The-Fireplace

With Overlord, players raise an army of skeletons that fight beside them, follow orders and can be grouped into squads.

What it does

Summoned skeletons join in fights against enemies and can be told to stay behind, defend a base or attack what the player points at. Orders are issued to nearby skeletons once with the Orders Wand, and skeletons can be grouped into squads so that a large force receives instructions in one step. Upgrades add decorative and combat changes to the skeletons.

Skeleton creation recipes, their health and other properties can be customized with data packs, so a server or modpack can change how the army is made. When the optional Roughly Enough Items mod is present, it can show each skeleton recipe, and the built-in guide walks a player through the first steps and how skeletons get upgraded. The author notes that Overlord 2 is still planned and a third version is intended.

Overlord requires Annotated DI, Fabric API and Fireplace Lib on Fabric, with Cloth Config also needed as a dependency of Fireplace Lib. Mod Menu and Roughly Enough Items are optional. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with files for 1.15.2 – 1.19.2 and the latest build dated 2022-11-29.

Key features

  1. Skeleton army

    The player raises skeletons that act as a summoned force in combat and around the base.

  2. Fighting behavior orders

    Skeletons can be given orders that set what they fight and how they behave toward enemies.

  3. Orders Wand

    The Orders Wand issues one order to every skeleton in range, which keeps large groups manageable.

  4. Squads and upgrades

    Skeletons can be grouped into squads for mass ordering and receive decorative or combat upgrades.

Questions

Does Overlord need Fabric API on every loader?

No. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Annotated DI and Fireplace Lib are required on all loaders, along with Cloth Config for Fireplace Lib.

Does Overlord have to be installed on the server?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Can skeleton recipes be changed?

Yes. Data packs can change how skeletons are made and how much health they have, and Roughly Enough Items is able to list those recipes on screen.
