This is a simple datapack that makes Guard Villagers (from the mod) serious, by giving them better default equipment and weapons, in a vanilla and balanced way, yet strong enough to fight back the modded mobs.
This small project was created in my free time as a student. If you like my projects, please consider to support me for more future projects and support!
Detailed features:
- All guards will spawn with at least leather full armor. guards might have better armors and weapons set individually by small chances.
- Guards will always have an off hand item (see below for list).
- Guards will randomly spawn with items for melee or range variant (see below for list).
- Rare equipment will always have Curse of Vanishing, making them unobtainable by killing the guards. This is for keeping the balance of the game.

| item | guard variant | use type | chance |
