Monster Conquest

A faction warfare mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 / NeoForge: recruit soldiers, build armies, and lead troops into battle with command tools and an RTS view.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.251 or higher (21.x series)
• Required on both client and server

Gameplay Overview

• Factions: Undead / Villager / Illager / Nether / End / Monster / Neutral, plus a separate player faction for each player. Factions can be allied or hostile (default relations are written in the config and can also be changed in-game); units of the same faction support each other, and when attacked, the entire army locks onto the target together.
• Recruitment and upkeep: Right-click a Recruitment Station block to open its interface, recruit / upgrade soldiers by tier, with prices configured per unit type; a Trade Station block sells ammunition, guns, and tactical equipment. Both blocks can directly read items from the player's inventory.
• Command: Control Tool (middle-click to select a unit, right-click to move / attack, look down and right-click = make selected units follow you), R key command wheel, V key RTS mode (box-select troops and right-click to issue orders, number keys to change formation, Z / X to mount / dismount).
• Unit types: Melee, archer, gunner, thrower, mage, dual-form.
• Guns and tactical equipment: Rifle / Shotgun / Sniper Rifle / Rocket Launcher and their respective ammunition (scoping, bullet drop, rocket splash); Tactical Equipment Slots can hold the Bulletproof Vest, Warm Clothes, Ammo Box, and Backpack (the Backpack can also hold bullets directly).
• Unit AI: A custom pathfinding and formation system handles formation arrangement, marching in column, maze bypassing, door opening, ladder climbing, and wading through water;
• Guide book: Craft a guide book that explains command, recruitment, trading, and more in chapters.

Default Keybindings

All can be changed in vanilla "Options → Controls".

Commands

• /faction gui: Open the Faction Relations GUI.

Configuration

On first launch, modular configs are generated under config/monster_conquest/ (general / factions / combat / player / recruit, etc.), where recruitment prices, faction relations, unit stats, AI behavior, and more can be fine-tuned.
