Recruits-Extras

by Machiavellian

Recruits-Extras gives players of Villager Recruits a Group Commands section in the existing recruits interface, for ordering groups of recruits anywhere in the world.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

The addon extends the command system of Villager Recruits. Commands reach recruits at unlimited distance, so a player does not need to stand near the units. Targets can be picked as absolute coordinates with exact numbers or as relative positions, and recruits can be grouped so that orders go to a chosen group rather than to all of them.

Group commands include formations in the shapes LINE, SQUARE, CIRCLE and WEDGE, a march order, and quick action buttons. The buttons send the active groups to the crosshair target or to a raid target, recall recruits at once, and make them hold defensive positions. Chat prefill buttons fill in common command text. Combat behavior includes coordinated retaliation by a group and auto-teleportation for recruits that lag behind.

Installation needs Villager Recruits, which is listed as a required dependency. The addon is built for Forge and targets Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is released under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
