Campfire:

Roamers will first put down a campfire. This will mark the land where they will live.

If the land is cluttered with trees, or is uneven, they will break blocks within a 10 block radius of their campfire to clear the area.

House:

After marking their home with the campfire, the roamers will then start building their house. The actual house is a saved NBT structure that they will build in game, with different rotations and within a minimum of 2 blocks away from the campfire.

Each house is different, and made with a variety of materials depending on the Roamer's race. For example, a desert house is made of sandstone, a taiga house is made out of spruce wood, and an artic house is, well, an igloo! In order to get these materials, they will chop down trees for wood, dig up sand for sandstone, or dig up snow for an igloo.

*Roamers will not break blocks placed by them, or by players. However, they will break player-placed blocks if the blocks were placed prior to loading in the mod. To avoid griefing, you can either start a new world with the mod installed, or configure their abilities to break blocks in the config files!*

Chest and Bed:

Once the last block is placed for their house, they will then decorate the inside of their house with a chest and a bed. Currently Roamers do not sleep in the bed, but babies will play on the bed just like baby villagers, and adults will use their chests to clear out their full inventory, and take out items if needed.

Roamers will also hunt animals if they don't have food in their inventory, and cook their meat on the campfire. They get hungry like the player, and require food in order to build, mine, and sprint. They won't die from starvation by default, but eating, hunger, and death from starvation can all be configured in the config file.

Psst: You can also change what entities to hunt with in the "roamers:huntable_animals" entity type tag.

Roamers will have a random chance to breed without being provoked by the player. They can only breed with the opposite gender, and parents will call their babies if they wander too far. There is also a random chance that a Roamer will have a baby with them when they spawn.

Breeding can be turned off with the config.

Player can interact with Roamers, and have a relationship status! This status is stored with the player's name attached to it, so each player will have differing interactions.

Physically hurting Roamers will greatly decrease your relationships, but you are friendly, they will throw you food if you need it, and will defend you from an entity that attacked you.

Positive Interaction Types:

• Giving food 
• Giving valuable items
• Giving babies a cookie
• Giving building materials

In order to have Descendants mine, you have to put a pickaxe in their main hand slot in their inventory. They must have a specific ore to look for when mining, so if you want them to mine coal, putting a piece of coal in the slot above their hand slot will have them look for coal ores.

Descendants will dig tunnels underground toward the ores they are looking for, and will also place torches on the ground in dark areas, if they have any in their inventory.

Descendants will chop wood when given an axe in their main hand. By default, they will chop down any trees or logs they come across, but if you want them to cut a specific wood type, you can put a log in the slot above their hand slot, and they will look for that specific log to cut down.

Descendants will also hunt for entities if given a sword in their main hand. By default, they will hunt animals for food. But if given a specific mob drop in the slot above their hand slot, they will search out entities with that drop. If given rotten flesh for example, they will hunt zombies, or anything that drops rotten flesh on death.

Be careful giving them gunpowder, it won't end well!

In order to have Descendants cook food, they must have a campfire nearby, and have cookable foods in their main hand. Then, they'll place it on the campfire, and wait for it to finish cooking.

Psst: Cookable foods are defined through a tag in the mod: "roamers:cookable_items".

Placing a fishing rod in a Descendant's main hand, you can make them go fishing!

They won't catch just fish, they can catch junk, or enchanted books and treasures. If on the grind for enchanted gear in the beginning, Descendants can be very helpful.

Or, give you a handful of rotten flesh and lily pads.

If given a hoe in their main hand, water, and some crops or seeds in their inventory, Descendants will till land, plant crops, and harvest crops for you. They will also use bonemeal if they have some in their inventory.

Bandits are like the Roamers, but do not Build or Mine. Instead, they prefer to pillage, kill and steal!

Spawning:

Bandits do not spawn naturally in the world, but spawn in similar to pillager patrols. With a random chance after 4 in-game days, a group of Bandits can spawn within the vicinity of the player. They are armed with axes and swords, and if killed, they have a chance of dropping treasures, like golden apples, diamonds, or even enchanted books! They will only spawn if the player is in the biomes that Roamers spawn in, like forests, deserts, badlands, etc. Bandits also have different races, and can be male or female when spawned

Stealing:

Beware for any chests nearby! Bandits open them and take any items they deem worthy enough to steal, such as foods and valuable items. To make things worse, after they finish stealing, they will break the chest, regardless if a player placed it or not. They will also steal your items if you are killed by them, and will wear any armor you had, making them extra dangerous! In order to get these items back, you must kill them.

 

Despawning:

If not actively aggressive, Bandits will have a chance to despawn after 2 in-game days, regardless if they are carrying any stolen goods.

Targets:

Bandits kill Players, Roamers, and Villager-Types. Iron Golems will also attack the Bandits unprovoked.
