Knight Bodyguard
This mod adds a knight that will protect you when recruited.
About this Mod
This mod adds a knight that occassionally spawns on the overworld during the day, or at least that's how it's supposed to be.
In order to tame him, you must give him iron ingots until he is satisfied. You can also technically heal him with them, but I wouldn't recommend that since it would be fairly expensive and he already heals passively, albeit slowly.
Now, here is a list of things the knight can do:
- Fight for you (obviously)
- Hold your items, if you give him a chest via right-clicking on him
- Heal by himself
- Sit, by sneaking and right-clicking on him, and then punching him to make him stop sitting
The knight has 20 health and armor equivalent to diamond armor. He also deals 8 damage, as well as having 3 blocks of reach.
There are also some issues with the mod:
- Knight attacks other tamed mobs if you hurt them, or if they hurt him
- Knight is somewhat slow, as in it takes him a moment to react to being attacked
That's all there is to the mod at the moment. I intend on updating the mod soon, but I don't really have any ideas at the moment, so if you have any ideas, feel free to suggest some.
