Village Guards are back! Train your villages into swordsmen and archers! Hire them to protect you on your adventures away from town! Raise an army and take on the illagers!

How does it work?

Village Guards are new mobs added to Minecraft. In the previous version of the addon they were actually just wither skeletons that had been modded, but thanks to the latest and greatest Minecraft addon capabilities, Village Guards are now completely separate, brand new custom mobs!

To hire a swordsman, just give an iron helmet to a villager. To hire an archer, give a bow to a villager. It’s that easy!

Hire some protection

Need a little extra muscle on your midnight adventures? No worries, just hire a few guards (at the cost of a few emeralds) to protect you wherever you roam!

Need them to back off so you can get a little shut-eye? Just right-click a hired guard to have them stand at attention and hold their position!

Setup your village defences

Here’s an idea — set up guard posts around the outskirts of your tower and place an archer in each one. That way, no mobs will make their way in during the night!
