About this project
What does Recruits: Mage Addon add?
This is a Forge 1.20.1 addon for Villager Recruits. It adds a new recruit type — the Mage — plus a matching Mage Tower structure.
Requires: Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47.x, and Villager Recruits (hard dependency).
The Mage
- Hireable recruit
- Four combat spells (ally-safe — won’t hit you or your recruits):
- Fireball
- Lightning bolt
- Frost zone (slowness + weakness)
- Levitation zone
- Can use bows, crossbows, swords, and axes
- Only appears naturally inside Mage Towers
This is a separate addon that hooks into Recruits’ API — not a modified copy of Villager Recruits. Install Recruits alongside it. (THIS ADDON IS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE ORIGINAL RECRUITS MOD!!!)
