K-Mercenaries adds mercenaries that can help you in combat. They can wear armor, use bow, crossbow, shield, swords and tools as weapons.
For hiring mercenaries you will need a Hiring station, which is crafted from 1 iron block and 4 yellow dye. Once you have it, you can hire mercenaries for the price of 5 gold ingots (configurable).
Clicking on a mercenary will open a screen where you can equip them, give some items to carry and issue orders. There are following orders:
- Follow - the mercenary will follow you without intervening in fights;
- Protect owner - the mercenary will attack mobs that hit you;
- Assist owner - the mercenary will attack mobs that you attack;
- Protect and assist owner - a combination of 2 above;
- Guard position - will guard position currently standing on.
Mercenaries will automatically equip better armor and weapons if possible.
You can heal mercenaries by clicking them with food.
