Simple Enemy
by NekoYunii
Simple Enemy adds three factions of armed soldiers to Minecraft Forge worlds, and players can recruit some of them as allies on the battlefield.
What it does
Simple Enemy spawns soldiers from the Russian Soldiers, American Soldiers and Recruitable Allied Soldiers groups, each carrying weapons added by the TaCZ gun mod. Spawns follow dynamic in-game events, and the soldiers use medium, long and close-range combat tactics with a cover system. Players can press Ctrl + C to open a menu and give orders to allied soldiers directly.
The mod requires Minecraft Forge and TaCZ, and it needs Cloth Config as well. Its behavior can be adjusted through a config file, which covers difficulty and how soldiers act. Soldiers can be given a custom look through a texture pack that follows the mod's resource path. Project Dawn - IGS requires this mod.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files target 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge build is 1.20.1-0.1.6-beta-hotfix, released on 2026-09-14 on the beta channel. The source code is public and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is open source.
