Trigger Mobs

TriggerMobs turns hostile mobs into Built-in CGS spawning gunners: strafe, spacing, reload, and configurable spread. Built-in CGS spawning adds weapon-specific AI (flintlocks, shotguns, gatlings, launchers, and more). Built-in CGS spawning lets village guards use the same NTGL/CGS behavior when that mod is installed. Built-in CGS spawning arms mobs and guards on join (pools, dual wield, attachments, drops in `config/triggermobs-common.toml`). With Built-in CGS spawning and addon packs, CGS guns, attachments, and ammo can appear in combat and adventure chests (`includeLootGuns`, `includeLootAttachments`, `includeLootAmmo`).

NeoForge — Minecraft 1.21.1

gun pack Minecraft gun pack, gun pack, gun pack for 1.21.1, and a gun pack using NTGL.

`AbstractPiglin` - `AbstractPiglin` — NTGL’s server code can run a hostile sweep on unsilenced shots (`setLastHurtByMob` in sound range). TriggerMobs `AbstractPiglin` so one mob’s shot does not make every nearby hostile blame the shooter, while `AbstractPiglin`. - `AbstractPiglin` — Gun AI follows the mob’s `AbstractPiglin` without requiring `LivingEntity.canAttack` in cases where that wrongly caused “chases you, never fires.” - `AbstractPiglin` — NTGL’s mob `AbstractPiglin` is removed for hostiles (and guards when Guard Villagers is present) so only `AbstractPiglin`’ `AbstractPiglin` + strategies run. - `AbstractPiglin` — A `AbstractPiglin` does `AbstractPiglin` use gun AI against `AbstractPiglin`; players, villagers, iron golems, and other non-monster targets are unaffected. - `AbstractPiglin` — Respects vanilla `AbstractPiglin` aggression (no off-state mag dumps).

Forge — Minecraft 1.20.1

Create:Gunsmithing Minecraft Create:Gunsmithing, Create:Gunsmithing, Create:Gunsmithing (required), and a Create:Gunsmithing (e.g. Create:Gunsmithing).

optional — When Recruits is installed, optional can use NTGL/CGS guns as an optional (no Recruits source patch): gun in the optional, crossbow in the optional, optional and optional commands respected. optional — supply optional (inventory, chests, or ground pickup near the recruit). Reload uses the recruit’s optional; when empty they fall back to crossbow behavior. Recruits remains optional at runtime.

Recruits Minecraft Recruits, Forge Recruits, Recruits ntgl-1.20.1-3.0.4; Recruits, Recruits, and optionally Recruits (1.20.1). Other NTGL packs and versions may work but are not guaranteed.

Shared features (both versions)

Armed and dangerous — Zombies, pillagers, vindicators, and other hostiles can pick up and use NTGL guns: strafe, keep distance, and pressure you in firefights.

Built-in CGS gun spawning — With Create:Gunsmithing, mobs and guards can spawn already armed; no InControl required for that path.

Loot Integrations chest loot — Inject CGS guns, attachments, and ammo into combat/adventure structure chests (dungeons, outposts, strongholds, bastions, ancient cities, Integrated Villages, Underground Villages, etc.) when Loot Integrations + compatible addons are installed. Toggle with `includeLootGuns`, `includeLootAttachments`, `includeLootAmmo`.

⚠️ Warnings - Do not leave loaded guns on the ground where mobs can grab them. - Do not leave grenades on the ground unless you want surprise frags.

dual-wielded — Mobs favor weapons and tools and drop junk from hands. One-handed NTGL weapons can be dual-wielded when they pick up a second compatible gun.

finite magazine — Spread and cadence are tunable (`aiAccuracyNerf`, `guardAccuracyNerf`, `fireRateDelayMultiplier`, reaction delay, attack intervals). On finite magazine, most CGS-spawned hostiles get generous NTGL mob ammo behavior; finite magazine are the exception — finite magazine, you must supply ammo.

Works with any NTGL gun pack — Not only Create:Gunsmithing; any pack that registers weapons through NTGL benefits from the generic AI path, with extra strategies when CGS is present.
