🌍 General description
Defend Your Base is a dynamic Minecraft mod that turns ordinary survival into a real strategic battle for your territory! You will not only have to build and explore, but also repel waves of attacking mobs trying to destroy your quiet life!
Every few game days, a raid begins, during which hordes of enemies storm your shelter. Survive, defend your buildings and gain experience for a successful defense, or lose all experience for a failed defense!
Warning!
This mod is very sensitive to errors in the configuration file! Incorrect syntax of defendyourbase.json may cause the game to crash!

🔥 Basic mechanics:
🔹 Waves of attacking mobs, including those from other mods!
🔹 The raids start every few days!
🔹 A unique base defense experience in minecraft!
🏰 Base defenses
🔹 Mobs purposefully attack the player's respawn point (or another designated area).
🔹 Build fortifications, traps, and defensive structures.
🔹 If a player tries to fall asleep during a raid, they will be woken up by intense anxiety!
🎯 Rewards and progress
🔹 Experience is given for successful defense.
🔹 If you do not manage to repel the raid before morning, then you lose all experience points.
🔹 The boss bar shows the remaining mobs and the wave's progress.
⚙️ Flexible configuration
In the config file, you can change:
🔹 The interval between raids.
🔹 A list of mobs in waves.
🔹 The number of waves and the number of mobs in each wave.
🔹 The amount of experience for successfully repelling the invasion!
🎮 Features:
✅ Adaptation to other mods — compatible with mods that change the length of the day, add new beds, mobs.
✅ Deep customization — you can add your mobs to your unique raid and adjust the balance.
✅ Epic sound effects — alarms, roaring mobs, victory fanfare!
✅ Use the bell to find out where the hidden mobs are!
✅ Use the /startRandomRaid command to force a random raid (It must be night for the raid to start)
📥 Installation:
🔹 Download Forge for 1.20.1.
🔹 Place the mod file in the mods folder.
🔹 Launch the game and configure the configuration for yourself.
🔹 Restart the game to apply configs!
💡 Game Tips:
🔹 Build walls and traps — without protection, the base will be quickly crushed!
🔹 Use bows and potions — ranged attacks will help against the crowds.
🔹 Co—op - it's more fun and safer to play with friends!
🔹 I recommend using AI-enhancing mods for a more immersive experience.
🔹 See an example of the configuration in the gallery!
