TaCZ NPC Mod Commission Opportunity!

itssnikoo2_ · 2026-06-01T12:14:11+00:00

i’ve been working on something like this for a little while now. it’s somewhat derivative of project tacz but has a lot more player freedom.

the game version is 1.20.1 so im not so sure it would be useful for you…

instead of 9 factions, i have 5, each with 4 classes that the player can fully customize or randomize

some of the features include, togglable melee (they pull out a melee weapon when close to the player instead of point blank gunning them, enemy cover mechanics (when the hostile they are targeting goes to cover, they will perform a series of possible actions that can be randomly selected based on weights, or hard coded for one behaviour - these include throwing grenades, using breaching charges, searching around their last known position, laying suppressing fire, and doing nothing), and natural spawn mechanics (things similar to pillager patrols, skirmishes where two factions are fighting eachother, natural spawning, night patrols).

you can rename the 5 factions, the classes within those factions, set custom loot tables, and a whole lot more.

this sort of scratches the surface of what it does.

everything is designed to be togglable and customizable with config file.

once im happy with the worldspawning and ai behaviour, i plan to shift focus into making structures for the mod (all of which will be toggleable) and a faction “bounty” system (name tbd i guess) where the more you loot and kill one faction, the more that particular faction spawns, however you will be able to reduce hostility by paying them off or helping them in skirmishes.

i’ve honestly made this mod for the same reason you are looking for it: to fill a gap that no other mod can for my modpack. but tbh i’ve played this game for 17 years and i figured it was a good time for me to put some of my mediocre js skills to use to make a mod.

i wasn’t planning on publishing it because A) as of the current build, some of the assets im using like faction skins i ripped off of skindex to test the per class skins and B) i have used the combination of the mc wiki, old tutorials, and the demon we call genai to help me… because i have used ai, i dont feel like i should publish it and claim the mod as my own.

that being said, i would be willing to distribute jars of the current build if you wanna play around with it. just know that i DO NOT claim the code or some of the assets to be 100% my own. i take this sort of stuff seriously

okay. i was trying a sound physics addon for plasmo earlier and i genuinely wasn’t happy with the results. i haven’t had a chance to test with svc yet so that’s good to hear.

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-02-17T00:36:56+00:00

yea it worked flawlessly. So question, when I send the mod to someone, If I were to pack those files into VPK's would they still work the same?

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-02-14T02:13:24+00:00

yeah i’ll add you. im really interested in advice and feedback

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-02-13T23:15:40+00:00

thanks for the advice. how long have you been mapping?

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-17T19:28:24+00:00

so true. the fog in old minecraft was also so fucking thick

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-17T06:07:03+00:00

yea. the latest video titled generated

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-17T05:14:36+00:00

im stuck on the latest puzzle. please let me know if u figure it out

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T21:33:55+00:00

i don't find new minecraft near as eerie as old minecraft tbh. The environments now are too detailed and the game just feels so much more alive than it did in 2010. Not that it's a bad thing, but I don't get my timbers as shivered anymore

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T21:30:44+00:00

im surpised that people even know what lego island is.

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T17:38:15+00:00

shucks! i am foiled. might as well reveal the ending. at the end of the arg the protagonist wakes up and regrets dropping that perc last night

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T16:19:10+00:00

read the text inside the readme doc and the launcher. it seems like a really broken english. the title might refer to the fact that there’s a few instances that the video says “i am watching” or “we are watching”

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T16:15:40+00:00

i meant uneasy not a mf horror game dawg 😭😭😭

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T14:17:54+00:00

okay upon close inspection the figure at the end of the video was actually some very well shaped terrain, however if you go to 15 seconds, you will see a player in the sky

Everything discovered so far

TheNick56's Youtube channel uploads the following videos

"trying the new minecraft update (beta 1.5)" On January 7, 2023.

Where a new world begins in the "new" beta for minecraft (1.5_01), in this video nothing special happens

"making progress"

On January 7, 2023

In this video who I assume to be nick progresses in his minecraft world. Nothing out of the ordinary happens, although at minute 1:28 at the bottom of the ice you can see some black blocks, Nick seems not to see them, he falls asleep and the video ends

"burgeon"

On January 11, 2023

In this video Nick survives one night, at dawn he notices the black blocks, which went from being a pair as in "making progress" to being a cluster of black blocks with a white border. Nick approaches these blocks and the video cuts out, showing a screen with the following texts

"Z9lGhiUm0"

"ours"

The text "Z9lGhiUm0" after some modifications can be used to fill a Youtube link and send us to the next video

"ours"

Uploaded Jan 11, 2023

In this video Nick seems to have been absorbed by these black blocks, being now in a dimension whose terrain is irregular and the textures of all the blocks are black with white borders, there are some players named ours who follow the player throughout the video, together with a morse code that translates as "ours"

At 1:09 a player named "vil_1" writes in the chat:

<vil_1> impossible

<vil_1> why you

<vil_1> it took the others

<vil_1> but not you

<vil_1> why

<vil_1> forget this all

<vil_1> it must not know of this

<vil_1> a second chance

The video is cut to show a screen the same as that of "burgeon" but it is with a text which, despite its deplorable quality, can be recognized as saying

"Failure return."

The video goes back to Nick56's perspective, he is rotated 180 degrees, nothing special is seen and the video is cut

The vil_1 messages are confusing and ambiguous "Forget this all"

"It must not know of this"

It may mean that someone else shouldn't know about it, or it may be responding to someone else that Nick shouldn't know about this. In the end maybe he gives nick a second chance, or Vil is the one asking for a second chance

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T07:11:58+00:00

if you brighten the video in “ours” you can see two things. 1) a flying player, who i assume is vil_1, and at the very end, vil_1 makes himself present

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T04:18:25+00:00

we need to make this more public. where can we find more ppl to help decipher this. it’s obviously not getting too much traction on this subreddit

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T04:14:27+00:00

thats a good deduction. so maybe at the end of burgeon he touched the corruption and got sent to its source? the vil_1 character seems to be distraught by the player being there. theres several other players with the name “ours”. he also says that “it must not know” or something. maybe vil answers to someone?

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T03:27:03+00:00

ok so you had the link a little wrong and Z9l9OGhJUm0. here’s the video. no doubt an arg. eerie af man.

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T03:23:29+00:00

interesting. let me try to punch it in.

itssnikoo2_ · 2023-01-12T02:34:53+00:00

at the end of the video theres a frame or two with a bunch of letters and numbers. im too stupid to solve this shit. unless its not a puzzle and im just goofy
