About Battle Defenders
From ModrinthGo into battle with defenders, human soldiers that will fight for you, hold a position, and more! Combine with the WW2 mod Call to Battle for over 300 guns and weapons to equip your defenders with!
Overview
The Battle Defender mod allows you to create human soldiers who will defend you in combat! Have them defend a position, guard you, or just wander about fighting monsters.
Equip your defenders with weapons and armor and heal them with food as you fight alongside them!
If you give your defender a name that matches a valid player name, it will use that player's skin. Find player names that have fun and unique skins to give your defenders some character!
Call to Battle integration
Combine with Call to Battle, the WW2 mod, for the ultimate experience! Equip your defenders with over 300 guns and other weapons.
Press the interact key("F" by default) while holding a gun to give it to a Defender.
