Middle‑Earth Additions: War Mod

📖 Overview

Middle‑Earth Additions: War Mod is a lightweight, commander‑focused addon for the Middle‑Earth mod. Hire soldiers, form squads with Army IDs, and launch synchronized invasions on demand. Your warband obeys Follow/Stay orders, defends you in a pinch, and can be rallied from distant, even unloaded lands.

✨ Features

🛡️ Hire & Command

Recruit faction‑aligned units with an intuitive Hiring screen
Toggle orders: Follow to escort/assist, or Stay to hold position like a sitting wolf
Units defend their commander, assist your current target, and safely teleport when left behind

⚔️ Armies & Invasions

Assign an Army ID (e.g., Rangers, Shieldwall) to organize your forces
Press I to open the War screen and hit Invade to summon:
- All units in the entered Army ID, or
- All your non‑army units if left blank
Invasions honor a short cooldown and only summon units you own (never other players’)
Persistent tracking recalls units from unloaded chunks or far‑off regions

🔥 Nemesis System (New)

🎲 Random Encounters (Every ~5 Minutes)

If you get killed by an Npc entity, that entity will now become your nemesis.
While you play, your personal nemesis can ambush you at random at roughly five-minute intervals of active play.

⬆️ Nemesis Upgrades

When a nemesis kills you, they are promoted and can return stronger next time.
Their rank and name/title are permanently stored; when they reappear or are summoned, you get the exact same individual (UUID, equipment, NBT, etc.).

✨ Special Traits & Titles

Nemeses can roll special titles that grant unique traits. Example:
- The Poisonous — applies Poison for 2 seconds on hit.
Titles can also define extra drop tables and bonus experience rewards on death.
Title data is defined in data files (e.g., data/me-war/title/*.json), allowing content expansion without code changes.

💠 Drops & Bonus EXP

On killing a nemesis, their title-configured drops are rolled and spawned in the world.
Bonus EXP is also awarded when defined by the title.

📜 Bounty Menu

Open with: /nemesis bounties
Shows up to 9 nemeses in a compact grid (alive vs. completed).
Hover over an alive nemesis to preview their 3D model, name/title, and upgraded rank.
Hover over a completed bounty to see the rewards tooltip: Rewards:
- me:gold_coin <1–3> (randomly assigned per bounty)
The coin amount is generated once (1–3) on completion and is saved; it persists across screen open/close and server/world restarts.
Click a completed bounty to claim the reward. Coins are added to your inventory; if it’s full, they’ll drop on the ground near you.

⌨️ Nemesis Commands

/nemesis list — Lists your current alive nemeses. Each entry shows an 8-char ID prefix and type, e.g., ab12cd34_orc.
/nemesis bounties — Opens the bounty screen.
/nemesis summon — Summons the exact nemesis instance saved for you (restored NBT, equipment, UUID). Use the shown 8-char prefix or full UUID.

🎮 How to Use

Open the Unit screen on a hired unit to view stats, issue Follow/Stay, and edit Army ID
Press I in‑game to open the War screen; enter an Army ID (optional) and click Invade
