[SEM] Simple Enemy Mod is an Addon that works with TaCZ and adds NPCs to the game equipped with weapons from the latter mod, with the goal of balancing the presence of weapons in the game. Now you will have a reason to carry a weapon.

Warning: Simple Enemy Mod is in early development, which is why it might contain bugs. I highly recommend backing up your worlds to avoid any issues.

Config File

Too easy? Don't worry, you can adjust the soldiers' behavior through the mod's config file! You can edit:

  • Basic entity attributes
  • Engagement range
  • Render distance
  • Soldier accuracy
  • Amount of shots per burst
  • Cooldowns between bursts
  • World spawn probabilities

Find the config file here:
.minecraft/config/sem-common.toml


Custom Textures

Don't like the soldier skins? That's not a problem! Simple Enemy Mod uses the standard Forge resource path. You can create your own texture pack for the soldiers.

Make sure to follow this folder path in your Zip file: assets/simpleenemymod/textures/entity/[type of Unit]/texture.png

Type of Unit:

  • pmc_unit
  • ru_unit
  • us_unit

Texture naming: [type of Unit]_variant1.png

Examples: pmc_unit_variant3.png | ru_unit_variant1.png | us_unit_variant2.png


Custom Weapons

If you want to customize the current weapons of the units, you can use datapacks.

Official datapack templates can be found on my GitHub DataPack Guide
