Time Mercenaries

by Sluggly

Time Mercenaries is a Forge and NeoForge minigame in which players send recruited mercenaries on timed missions for item rewards, with the mission outcome tracked through a Dimensional Time Clock.

What it does

Players craft a Dimensional Time Clock and use its items to recruit a mercenary and send that mercenary on a mission. Missions are grouped by rarity, and the Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary tiers open as the player's level reaches 3, 5, 7 and 10. Each mission can end with a reward, nothing, or a failure that damages the mercenary. A mercenary who dies drops to level 1 and must be resurrected at a cost in player levels. Skipping a mission lets the player recruit a new mercenary after 150 seconds.

The mod is a client and server mod, so the server and each player who joins it need the mod installed. It works in singleplayer, on servers and over LAN. Missions run with the item progress shown in the inventory, and a Traits screen lets players spend skill points on their mercenaries. Modules, a separate addition, permanently open improvements to the clock and are covered in an integrated guide. The mod is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is not open source. It targets Minecraft 1.20.1 only.

Key features

  1. Timed mercenary missions

    Mercenaries travel to places and return with rewards, with the time left shown on the clock item as the mission progresses.

  2. Rarity tiers

    Missions open by rarity in four steps, and eight or more mercenaries draw from one item reward pool.

  3. Traits and upgrades

    A Traits screen distributes skill points, and upgrading a mercenary a level shortens missions and lowers the chance of death.

  4. Skyblock-friendly items

    The reward pool offers unique niche items that suit skyblock-style play.
