# \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f OVERLORD_GUARDIAN V2.0<\/p>\n
**General Description**
\nOverlord 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.<\/p>\n
## 1. GUARDIAN SYSTEM<\/p>\n
This module allows nearly any hostile entity to be recruited into a permanent, loyal bodyguard.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd39 Universal Recruitment<\/p>\n
* **Method:** Using a **Name Tag** renamed to `Guardian` on the target entity.
\n* You also most join the ‘Guardianes’ team, otherwise they may still atack you.
\n* **Compatibility:** Works on Zombies, Skeletons, Witches, Illagers (Pillagers\/Vindicators), Blazes, Spiders, etc.
\n* **Identification:** Recruited Guardians display a permanent **glowing** blue outline to distinguish them from enemies.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd39 “Tank” Attributes<\/p>\n
Once transformed, the unit receives massive enhancements to ensure survivability:<\/p>\n
* **Health:** 240 HP (120 Hearts).
\n* **Environmental Immunities:** Full resistance to Fire, Lava, Drowning, and Fall Damage.
\n* **Sunlight Resistance:** Undead mobs (Zombies\/Skeletons) no longer burn in daylight.
\n* **Healing Factor:** Passive health regeneration after 5 seconds out of combat.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd39 AI Behavior<\/p>\n
* **Smart Targeting:** Guardians actively attack hostile monsters but strictly ignore:
\n * Players on the security team.
\n * Pets (Wolves, Cats, Parrots).
\n * Villagers and Iron Golems.
\n * Allied Guardians.
\n* **Tactical Aggression:** Uses a periodic “Taunt” system that forces nearby enemies to focus on the Guardian instead of the player.<\/p>\n

## 2. COMMAND SYSTEM<\/p>\n
Unit control is handled via interactions with common items\u2014no chat commands required.<\/p>\n
| Item | Action | Mechanical Effect |
\n| :— | :— | :— |
\n| **Gold Nugget** | Throw (Q) nearby | **Medical Supplies:** Instantly restores unit health. |
\n| **Magma Cream** | Throw (Q) nearby | **Tactical Order Switch:**
1. **Escort Mode:** Unit follows the player (default behavior).
2. **Sentinel Mode:** Unit remains stationary at its current position with increased resistance (ideal for guarding entrances). |
\n| **Blaze Rod** | Crouch (Shift) while holding it | **Emergency Call:** Instantly teleports all Guardians in “Escort Mode” to the player\u2019s location. |
\n| **Bed** | Proximity | **Honor Guard:** If a Guardian detects a nearby bed, it automatically enters static defensive mode (Sentinel). |<\/p>\n

## 3. THE BESTIARY<\/p>\n
To counterbalance Guardian power, the system modifies hostile mob spawning. Each time an enemy spawns, the system determines its variant:<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd34 The “Nightmare” Horde<\/p>\n
Enhanced versions of base mobs.<\/p>\n
* **Upgrades:** +40% movement speed and +8 extra Hearts of health.
\n* **Purpose:** Prevents enemies from becoming trivial in the face of Guardian strength.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udfe3 “Mythic” Elites<\/p>\n
Rare variants equipped with custom gear and stats, acting as mini-bosses.<\/p>\n
#### **Zombie Variants:**<\/p>\n
1. **Titan:** Giant-sized (Scale 1.2), extremely slow, wears heavy armor, and wields a massive axe for high damage.
\n2. **Berserker:** Increased speed, no armor, wields an enchanted Golden Sword\u2014delivers rapid, high DPS.<\/p>\n
#### **Skeleton Variants:**<\/p>\n
1. **Sniper:** Invisible and stationary, equipped with a high-power bow (Power IV).
\n2. **Vanguard:** Heavy infantry unit with full chainmail armor and a rapid-fire crossbow.<\/p>\n
#### **Creeper Variants:**<\/p>\n
1. **Nuke:** Giant, charged (electric) Creeper. Large explosion radius, slow movement.
\n2. **Ghost:** Fully invisible and silent, but detonates quickly with a small blast radius.<\/p>\n
#### **Spider Variants:**<\/p>\n
1. **Goliath:** Giant spider (Scale 1.5), with increased health and damage.
\n2. **Weaver:** Tiny spider (Scale 0.6), with extreme speed and high evasion difficulty.<\/p>\n
