SWMC: NPCs & Command introduces an advanced Star Wars-inspired NPC combat system to Minecraft Bedrock Edition. The addon adds Rebel and Imperial soldiers with specialized combat roles, faction-based targeting, intelligent battlefield behavior, squad coordination, body-part damage, and powerful commander tools.

NPCs do more than simply walk toward enemies and shoot. They can investigate suspicious activity, remember lost targets, react to nearby gunfire, support allies, use cover, suppress enemies, flank positions, retreat when overwhelmed, and continue searching around a target’s last known location.

The addon is designed for military roleplay, custom campaigns, PvE missions, large battles, private worlds, and multiplayer servers.

Main Features

• Advanced scripted NPC combat AI
• Rebel and Imperial factions
• Multiple specialized NPC classes
• Dynamic targeting and target memory
• Last-known-position investigation
• Upper-torso and center-mass aiming
• Combat strafing and tactical movement
• Suppression and nearby ally assistance
• Functional impact and smoke grenades
• Smoke that blocks NPC vision
• Friendly-fire protection between allies
• Separate Rebel and Imperial commander systems
• Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta squads
• Move, attack, defend, patrol, hold, and follow orders
• Multiple squad formations
• Custom NPC weapons and projectiles
• NPC armor and body-part damage
• In-game administrator balancing controls

Included NPCs

Rebel Forces

• Rebel Commando – A versatile frontline rifleman designed for general combat.
• Rebel Commando Marksman – A long-range specialist who can switch to a secondary weapon when enemies get too close.
• Rebel Commando Grenadier – Uses a rifle during normal combat and can launch impact grenades or deploy defensive smoke.
• Rebel Commando Machine Gunner – Provides rapid fire and sustained battlefield suppression.
• Rebel Navy Trooper – A lighter Rebel-aligned soldier suited for defensive and shipboard combat.

Imperial Forces

• Imperial Stormtrooper – A standard Imperial infantry unit using controlled blaster bursts.
• Imperial Scout Trooper – A mobile long-range specialist with sniper and close-range weapon behavior.
• Imperial Shock Trooper – A heavily armed Imperial support unit designed for sustained fire and aggressive combat.

Advanced Combat AI

Every supported NPC uses a shared tactical AI system that allows battles to develop naturally.

NPCs can:

Scan for visible enemy players and NPCs

• Remember active targets
• Investigate a target’s last known position
• React to nearby weapon fire
• Alert nearby allies
• Assist friendly NPCs already in combat
• Move toward useful firing positions
• Retreat when survival becomes the priority
• Return to previous orders after combat ends

NPCs primarily aim toward the target’s upper torso and center mass. Their accuracy still depends on their role, aim skill, movement, weapon spread, distance, and battlefield conditions.

Suppression and Squad Assistance

NPCs react to incoming fire, direct hits, and nearby projectiles.

Suppressed units may become less aggressive, search for cover, reposition, or temporarily lose combat effectiveness. Nearby allies can detect that a squad member is fighting and move to assist rather than remaining idle.

Friendly projectiles are ignored by allied NPCs for damage and suppression purposes, helping prevent soldiers from accidentally attacking or disrupting their own faction.

Smoke and Grenades

Grenadiers can use additional equipment alongside their primary rifle.

• Impact grenades provide occasional explosive support.
• Smoke grenades can be deployed during dangerous situations.
• Smoke can block NPC vision.
• NPCs may lose sight of enemies inside or behind smoke.
• Enemies can use the smoke to move, retreat, or reposition.
• Grenade abilities use separate cooldowns and do not permanently interrupt normal rifle combat.

Faction System

NPC behavior depends on the faction of both the NPC and the player.

Rebel Players

Use either of these tags:

• rebel
• swmc:rebel

Rebel NPCs will recognize the player as friendly, while Imperial NPCs will treat the player as hostile.

Imperial Players

Use either of these tags:

• imperial
• swmc:imperial

Imperial NPCs will recognize the player as friendly, while Rebel NPCs will treat the player as hostile.

Untagged players in Survival or Adventure mode may be considered hostile by both factions.

Rebel and Imperial NPCs automatically recognize each other as enemies and can fight without player involvement.

Commander System

The addon includes two separate command tools:

• Zeus Commander – Controls Rebel Commandos and Rebel-aligned Navy Troopers.
• Imperial Commander – Controls Stormtroopers, Scout Troopers, and Shock Troopers.

Each commander can organize units into four independent squads:

Squads can receive orders such as:

• Assign nearby units
• Move to a waypoint
• Follow a sequence of movement orders
• Attack a selected location
• Defend an area
• Patrol between points
• Hold position
• Follow the commander
• Clear their current orders

Squad orders pause when NPCs enter combat and can resume after the threat is lost.

Squad Formations

Commanded squads can move in different formations:

• Tight
• Line
• Column
• Wedge
• Spread

Combat strafing can also be enabled or disabled separately for each squad. Commanders can view squad status, clear waypoints, remove patrol points, delete markers, and reset squad behavior through the in-game menu.

Body-Part Damage and Armor

NPC damage is calculated using different body regions rather than treating every hit the same.

Supported zones include:

• Head
• Upper torso
• Lower torso
• Arms
• Legs

Each NPC armor profile can provide different protection for each body zone. This allows headshots, torso shots, limb hits, armor penetration, and weapon type to influence the final damage dealt.

The NPC damage system is separate from the player medical system, allowing this addon to run independently or alongside other SWMC packs.
