Recruits Siege Fix
Recruits addon that makes sieges core-chunk based, requiring attackers to contest a player-set core chunk to capture claims.

This addon for Villager Recruits that closes the biggest siege exploit: attackers no longer win by idling anywhere in the claim until the timer ends.
Instead, claims are captured by contesting a single Core Chunk chosen by the owner.
What This Mod Changes:
- Replaces default “whole-claim pressure” siege behavior with core objective capture.
- Each claim has one Core Chunk (owner-selected).
- Attackers must contest that core chunk to make capture progress.
- Siege progress is paused when attackers leave the core chunk.
- If attackers stay away too long, siege fails.
- Adds a clear attacker-side target marker (no guessing which chunk to push).
Core Siege Mechanics:
- Attackers enter a claim and start siege conditions.
- Only units in the Core Chunk count for progressing capture.
- Capture progress is based on time actively contested in core:
capture_duration_seconds (default: 600 = 10 minutes) - If attackers leave core:
Progress pauses (does not instantly fail)
After pause_timeout_seconds (default: 60), siege fails if they don’t return - Recruits siege UI/messages remain synced.
Visual Core Marker (for Attackers)
When an player enters a claim, attackers see the core objective clearly:
- A bright red sky beam at core position
- A floating red banner marker at the core
- Visible through walls for easy objective direction
- This appears for enemies to help them identify where to attack.
Command:
/setcorechunk
Use it while standing in the desired chunk inside your claim.
Rules:
Must be inside your own claim
Cannot be used during active siege
Claim owner/faction leader (or OP) can set it
Not available for admin claims
Configuration File:
[core_siege]
capture_duration_seconds = 600
pause_timeout_seconds = 60
capture_duration_seconds: active core contest time required to capture
pause_timeout_seconds: max pause time before siege fails
Integration Notes:
Uses Recruits’ existing siege data flow and client sync.
Required attacker count still follows Recruits config:
Claiming.SiegeClaimsRecruitsAmount in recruits-server.toml.
If no core is manually set, claim center is used as fallback.
Quick Setup:
1.Install Recruits + SiegeSystemFix (same Forge 1.20.1 environment).
2.Create/own a claim.
3.Stand in your desired core chunk.
4.Run /setcorechunk.
5.Adjust timeout/capture settings in siegesystemfix-server.toml if needed.
