Mercs And Menaces (On Hiatus)

This mod adds several mercenaries that can aid the player in combat!

Mercenaries:

These repentant illagers (or villagers that were in the process of becoming an illager) wish to protect the villagers from their still evil brethren! They can be found in Taverns, a new structure that generates in your world, and can be hired to follow and protect the player using Hiring Scrolls!

Hiring Scrolls can be crafted with a Paper surrounded with 4 Emeralds.

Be wary though, these guys don't stick with you all the time! They'll leave after a Minecraft day, though you can extend their contract with another Hiring Scroll! (Note: By extension, I mean that it adds another day to the current duration, so giving a Mercenary 5 Hiring Scrolls means they'll stay for 5 additional Minecraft days)

There's a way to keep your Mercs permanently though! But it ain't cheap!

Three types of Mercenaries can be found lounging in Taverns. The other two, well, one can be found wandering in the wilds and the other seems to follow who ever calls a large number of protectors!

You can armor them up and change their weapons depending on what weapon they wield! 

Hired Mercenaries don't actually die right away, feed them a Golden Apple within a Minecraft day, or they'll die for real!
