About this project

What does Knight Bodyguard add?

This mod adds a knight that occassionally spawns on the overworld during the day. In order to tame him, you must give him an iron ingot.

Here is a list of things the knight can do:

Fight for you (obviously)
Hold your items (he will drop everything on death)
Heal by himself (always has Regeneration I)
Sit, by sneaking and right-clicking him, and then right-clicking, without sneaking, to make him unsit

The knight has 20 health and 10 armor points. He also deals 6 damage (with default sword), and has 3 blocks of reach.

There are also some issues with the mod:

Knight may occasionally attack another tamed mob if you accidentally attack them, but it should be fine as the mob will be granted invulnerability until he stops
Knight is somewhat slow, as in it sometimes takes him a moment to react to being attacked

That's all there to the mod at the moment, I hope you enjoy it. Also, if you find any issues, please leave a comment. I take suggestions as well, so feel free to make some.
