Tacz:Recruits

by Zeorez

Tacz:Recruits lets Recruits soldiers use TACZ firearms in combat, from Forge 1.20.1 with Villager Recruits installed.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Recruits equipped with TACZ Timeless Classics Zero guns use a smart gun combat AI instead of only vanilla weapons. A priority-based system takes over when a Recruit holds a TACZ weapon, and once the gun is put away the Recruit returns to normal combat behavior. The AI covers burst fire with cooldown periods, automatic reloading when ammunition runs out, and dynamic positioning that keeps the soldier at a workable combat distance.

The mod needs Villager Recruits, which must be installed alongside it on Forge for 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The author describes it as an unofficial compatibility addon, affiliated with the developers of the TACZ and Recruits mods. A configuration step is required, and the mod is released under GPL-3 by its author, Zeorez, as version 1.0.0 published 2026-07-31.

Key features

  1. Gun combat AI

    Recruits holding a TACZ weapon switch to a dedicated firing routine built around the gun.

  2. Burst fire and reloads

    Soldiers fire in bursts with cooldown periods and reload automatically when their magazine is empty.

  3. Combat distance

    Recruits position themselves to keep an effective distance from their target while firing.

  4. Spread-aware aiming

    Targets are aimed with a realistic spread rather than perfect accuracy.

How it compares

Full comparison

Recruits Claim Config is a Forge 1.20.1 addon on client and server under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Combat Sense is a Forge option for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that is client-side only and released under the MIT License, so players can join without it. Tacz:Recruits covers only the TACZ firearm side of Recruits, so the two work on different aspects of the same game.

What the author says

A compatibility mod that allows Recruits soldiers to use TACZ (Timeless and Classics Zero) firearms. This mod bridges the gap between the Recruits mod and TACZ, enabling your recruited soldiers to effectively use modern firearms in combat. Without this mod, Recruits can only use vanilla weapons.
