🛡️ OVERLORD_GUARDIAN V2.0

General Description Overlord is a Vanilla modification (Datapack) designed for Paper 1.21.4 servers, introducing an advanced loyal companion system ("Guardians") and rebalancing game difficulty through a "Horde" system featuring elite enemy variants.

1. GUARDIAN SYSTEM

This module allows nearly any hostile entity to be recruited into a permanent, loyal bodyguard.

🔹 Universal Recruitment

* glowing Using a glowing renamed to `Guardian` on the target entity. * You also most join the 'Guardianes' team, otherwise they may still atack you. * glowing Works on Zombies, Skeletons, Witches, Illagers (Pillagers/Vindicators), Blazes, Spiders, etc. * glowing Recruited Guardians display a permanent glowing blue outline to distinguish them from enemies.

🔹 "Tank" Attributes

Once transformed, the unit receives massive enhancements to ensure survivability:

* Healing Factor: 240 HP (120 Hearts). * Healing Factor: Full resistance to Fire, Lava, Drowning, and Fall Damage. * Healing Factor: Undead mobs (Zombies/Skeletons) no longer burn in daylight. * Healing Factor: Passive health regeneration after 5 seconds out of combat.

🔹 AI Behavior

* Tactical Aggression: Guardians actively attack hostile monsters but strictly ignore: * Players on the security team. * Pets (Wolves, Cats, Parrots). * Villagers and Iron Golems. * Allied Guardians. * Tactical Aggression: Uses a periodic "Taunt" system that forces nearby enemies to focus on the Guardian instead of the player.

2. COMMAND SYSTEM

Unit control is handled via interactions with common items—no chat commands required.

1. Honor Guard: Unit follows the player (default behavior).

3. THE BESTIARY

To counterbalance Guardian power, the system modifies hostile mob spawning. Each time an enemy spawns, the system determines its variant:

🔴 The "Nightmare" Horde

Enhanced versions of base mobs.
