---

✨ Overview

Warhost is an unofficial port and continuation of Ancient Warfare 2 (Minecraft 1.12.2, by Shadowmage and P3pp3rF1y) to NeoForge 1.21.1. It brings factions and NPC armies, the Ancient Warfare structure template system (.aws), automation worksites, and siege vehicles to modern Minecraft. Warhost is a single mod with internal modules (core, structure, npc, automation, vehicle) and is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later, like the original. The original work has been modified: it was ported from Minecraft 1.12.2 and adapted to current APIs. This port is unofficial and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original authors.

⚔️ Factions and NPC armies

Factions

Multiple factions (player, bandit, orc, undead, elf, dwarf) with enemy/ally relations.

NPCs

NPC soldiers with orders (patrol, guard, follow, move, attack, stay), trade, skins, and spawners. A faction NPC and a player-owned NPC are available.

🏘️ Structure template system

.aws format

Keeps the original .aws format with a 1.12-to-1.21.1 block state converter and id substitution policy. Includes the MohawkyPack (1.484 templates).

Scan and build

Scan a region into a template, export to .aws, load from directory or classpath, and build with rotation support (synchronous or ticked).

⚙️ Automation worksites

Worksites

Quarry, crop farm, tree farm, animal farm and more, backed by a WorksiteManager that ticks registered worksites.

Torque and storage

Torque energy system (IEnergyStorage), chunk loaders, mailboxes, and warehouse interfaces.

🚀 Siege vehicles

Vehicles

Catapults, ballistas, cannons and trebuchets with missiles and pathing. A catapult can fire a basic missile that explodes on impact.
