⚔️Villager Tactics Devlog #2

Custom Weapons & Equipment

• Tiered Weapons: Drafted all behavior JSONs using format version 1.20.50 for Shortswords and Spears across Wood, Stone, copper, Iron, Gold, and Diamond tiers.
• Ranged & Shield: Built behavior definitions for the custom Shield, Bow, and Crossbow items.
• File Naming & Namespace: Renamed all custom item files and identifiers to use the standardized vt_ prefix (e.g., villagertactics:vt_shortsword_iron) inside VillagerTactics_BP/items/.
• Argued more with AI
• Made about 50 more files and 30 more pngs

4-Piece Chainmail Armor System

• Armor Set: Created individual item behaviors for chainmail helmet, chainmail chestplate, chainmail leggings, and chainmail boots mapped to their respective wearable slots.

Swordsman Unit Complete Setup

• Entity Behavior (vt_swordsman.json): Configured the Swordsman entity with interaction triggers allowing players to pass specific armor pieces directly to the unit, upgrading its stats dynamically through component groups.
• Equipment Loot Table (vt_swordsman_gear.json): Established the spawn gear loot table so the Swordsman spawns holding an iron shortsword. Fixed the extensionless file bug in the behavior directory.
• Client Entity (vt_swordsman.entity.json): Linked client-side render controllers, materials, and standard humanoid animations.
• Model Geometry (vt_swordsman.model.json): Implemented the base humanoid geometry model in VillagerTactics_RP/models/entity/ with bone hierarchies ready for custom textures.
