VS:IA
by k1ngtle
VS:IA is a Forge tactical equipment framework for Minecraft 1.20.1 that gives players a loadout system with primary weapons and vests.
What it does
Players assemble a complete tactical identity through a loadout interface, rather than equipping armour piece by piece. The framework includes a primary weapon and vest variants, and its loadout screen is built to let an operator prepare before going into the field. A unique loadout event is planned for hosting on an SMP server.
The mod is set for Forge only, with a single build, 1.0.0, released for 1.20.1 on 2026-08-03. Both the server and every player need it, because it runs on client and server. VS:IA is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source.
The author notes an intention to work alongside Vic's Point Blank (VPB) and TaC-Z, and to later connect with Create and Valkyrien Skies for mechanical engineering, vehicles and advanced physics. Those plans are not yet present in the current release.

What the author says
VS:IA is a tactical equipment framework, inspired by the distinguished interface of Ready or Not (RoN), allowing every operator to prepare themselves for the field with elegance and precision.
