Frequently asked questions

How do I get villagers to turn into guards?
Place a bell in your village and wait for enemies to approach—villagers will automatically transform into guards when threats get close enough. If you've disabled the bell requirement in config, guards will spawn based purely on enemy proximity to the town.
What counts as a valid town for this mod?
A valid town needs at least one bed, one job block, and one bell, with a villager actually claiming the bed. This works for both naturally generated villages and custom towns you build yourself.
Can I stop the mod from converting my villagers into guards?
Yes—enable the spawn option in the configuration to create brand-new guards from thin air instead of converting your existing villagers into fighters.
Why aren't villagers picking up weapons?
Check your config to ensure the villager types you want are allowed to become guards, and verify that enemies are within the detection distance you've set. Also confirm that a bell is present if you haven't disabled the bell requirement.
