Piglin warrior castes

by Jou1025

Piglin warrior castes adds armored piglin variants with tiered health, weapons and helmets, on Forge for 1.20.1.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

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.

Key features

  1. Piglin and brute variants

    Piglins and piglin brutes come in several ranks, each with more health than the vanilla version.

  2. Armored warrior types

    Golden and netherite armor types give variant piglins their own equipment look and stats.

  3. Ancient dungeon helmets

    Helmets modeled on forgotten eras appear on variants, and their settings are changed in a config file.

  4. Shields and crossbows

    Melee piglins can use shields and ranged piglins can use crossbows, each behind a config option.

Questions

Does Piglin warrior castes need a dependency?

No required dependency is listed for the mod. Pillager's Gun and Goety are optional companions, and their compatibility only applies when both are installed.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Which piglins can use guns?

Pillager's Gun must be installed alongside this mod. Then some piglins and brutes use firearms, while normal piglins keep their vanilla weapons.
