Piglin warrior castes
by Jou1025
Piglin warrior castes adds armored piglin variants with tiered health, weapons and helmets, on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Piglins and piglin brutes gain variant ranks that organize them into warrior castes. Each rank carries more health than the vanilla piglin it replaces, and the ranks are named by armor color, with brown and black as the lower tiers and blue, red and purple above them. Some variants spawn with a golden or netherite armor type, and new helmets modeled on ancient dungeon gear can appear on them, with the helmet settings adjustable in a config file.
Melee piglins use shields by default, with the chance set in the config file, and ranged piglins can carry crossbows once the matching config option is enabled. A piglin can also be given a gun from Pillager's Gun, and the mod includes compatibility code for when both mods are installed, so some piglins and brutes use firearms. Normal piglins are left as they are for players who want the vanilla ranks.
Goety is a related mod. Installing it alongside this one adds Goety-themed behavior, and the mod lists Goety: Awaken and Goety's hostility option among its compatible companions. The card covers Forge builds only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, released under the MIT License and not open source. Both the server and every player need the mod, because the variants are spawned by the server and drawn by the client.
