/recruits march 100 64 -200
Relative Coordinates: Use ~ for relative positioning
/recruits march ~ ~5 ~10 # 5 blocks up, 10 blocks forward from your position
/recruits march ~-20 ~ ~ # 20 blocks to the left of your position

- Two-phase operation: March → Raid
- Recruits march to destination, then become aggressive
- Attacks hostile mobs and players at destination
- Respects entity blacklist configuration
Group Retaliation System
When any recruit in a marching group is attacked:
- Entire group immediately targets the attacker
- Group coordinates to eliminate the threat
- After 5 seconds, automatically resumes original march
- You receive notifications about the engagement
Defensive Commands
Stop Command:
- Recruits raise shields and enter guard mode
- Only retaliate when directly attacked
- Multiple shield activation methods ensure reliability
- Perfect for holding strategic positions
Cancel Command:
- Comprehensive AI state clearing
- Multiple pathfinding methods ensure recruits return
- Cancels any active raid missions
- Robust error handling prevents failures
⚙️ Configuration

"minecraft:iron_golem",
"minecraft:cat",
"minecraft:wolf",
"minecraft:creeper"
]
