Illagers at War

Overview

Illagers at War transforms Minecraft's passive NPCs into living empires with cities, borders, and military infrastructure. Villagers and pillagers form factions, wage wars, and expand their territories across the world. Watch as dynamic conflicts unfold organically or join the fray yourself!

Features

  • Six Starting Factions: Three villager factions (Emerald Dominion, Golden Order, Silver Concord) and three pillager factions (Crimson Legion, Shadow Covenant, Iron Marauders)
  • Dynamic Territory System: Factions claim land and expand borders automatically
  • Army Management: Create and command armies with different unit types (infantry, archers, cavalry, siege)
  • War System: Factions declare wars, form alliances, and battle for dominance
  • Live Conflicts: Battles happen in real-time between opposing armies near borders
  • Political Dynamics: Alliances, rivalries, and civil wars can form between any factions

How to Use

All commands use /illagersatwar (or /iaw shorthand):

How It Works

  1. Factions automatically spawn with the world and begin claiming territory
  2. Territories expand outward from faction capitals
  3. Armies patrol borders and engage enemy forces automatically
  4. Wars can erupt when rival factions share borders or through player commands
  5. Battles happen in real-time - watch armies fight with unique banner patterns

Tips & Tricks

  • Factions with more territory gain power faster
  • Armies heal slowly when idle but lose morale in combat
  • Border territories are hotspots for conflict
  • Create alliances between friendly factions to gang up on rivals
  • Use /illagersatwar faction info to check a faction's war status before joining a side

Known Limitations

  • Faction capitals are automatically assigned; custom placement coming soon
  • Territory visualization is command-based only
  • Army AI is basic and will be improved in updates
