Guard Posts - Protect what you build!

Download Now (Free Militia Version) or purchase full version

You spend all that time building - at last you can put the finishing touches on that castle! Place archers on the walls, guards at the gates - watch them engage hostiles and return to their posts. Guard Posts is available in two editions, with a third in development. The free version - Militia - includes all core functionality. For installation directions and notes, scroll down on this page. NOTE: This mod is for PC/laptop for the time being, and is tested on Minecraft for Windows, Bedrock .

Unlike village-based or colony-based guard mods, this pack lets you place defenders exactly where your build needs them - walls, gates, towers, courtyards - without requiring a village, colony, or complex setup. One might even bring a few in the inventory to be placed as rear-guards while mining!

Downloads have no ads, pop-ups, or any other nonsense - just the add-on.
