The Village Fights Back

A Village Brain Node placed in the village is the mod's central AI. It reads the state of the village, decides how to spend its stored emeralds, and sends out settlers, raises walls and builds structures such as golem factories and barracks. A village moves through four stages as it develops, and players can feed it emeralds to push it through stages faster. At each stage the guards and iron golems gain stronger gear and new abilities.

The mod keeps a reputation score for each village. Villages start from a set value that depends on the chosen behavior, and the score moves up or down with a player's actions: trading and helping raise it, while attacking villagers, robbing chests or mining near the village lower it. The score decides how the village treats the player, and a village with a low enough score may stay permanently hostile. Guard Villagers is required, and MCA Reborn is optional.

The mod is built to stand against harsh infection mods, with a counter-infection that answers those threats. It adds 12 weapons, 17 new creatures, two bosses and 3 potions. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it.
