I dream of a mod.
A mod I believe, quite unlike any other we have seen so far. A mod that draws on inspiration of several existing mods, but is greater than all of them combined. A mod that would change how people think about minecraft.
I dream... of a minecraft Real-Time-Strategy style mod.
The concept is simple, yet game-breaking. The mod would add the capacity to build or generate structures that spawn or "train" mobs or "units". Perhaps with this mod the player would spawn with a specific one of these structures already generated nearby. Perhaps they need to build it themselves. In the end this that is not truly important.
What is important is that this structure would be a Town Center.
The Town Center would be where it all begins. Through the mechanics of the mod, workers would spawn in this structure, perhaps automatically, on command, or either one via some method of toggling (via a command in chat, an object like a special lever within the structure, or an item)
Workers would be friendly, and in fact subservient to the player, capable of being interacted with to assign them certain duties and behaviors, such as building, gathering resources (hunting, mining/digging, logging, planting/harvesting crops, etc.) following the player and assisting in whatever they are doing, or simply stand idle or wander. The player would also be able to organize them into groups so that when you interact with one worker that is part of a group, and tell it to do something, the rest of the group will do it too, and what I'm thinking, is that workers will do most things less well on their own than the player, so a group of workers would be needed to do something as quickly as a player would. You might be wondering "Building? Building what?"
Depends on how intricate the mod would be. There would probably be a "Build Menu" that could be accessed somehow to view what can be built. Once told to build, they will look for the resources specified in the building's "recipe" to construct it and begin construction. However, perhaps the player would be able to save a "blueprint" of a custom structure they have already made, and workers would be able to be instructed to build that. Perhaps the player could even save the custom blueprint to replace the blueprint for one of the default structures in the "Build Menu" (like a Town Center for instance).
One of the key structures in the Build Menu would almost definitely be some sort of military building like a barracks which would work similarly to a Town Center only instead workers, it would spawn combat units with corresponding duties and behaviors, like patrolling, seek and destroy, or stand guard.
Other build options could be walls, guard/watch towers, houses. Perhaps a certain number of houses would be needed in order for the player the player's Town Center and barracks to spawn more than a specific number of workers or soldiers? A population cap like in an actual RTS. All sorts of structures could be possible based on what I have seen browsing Minecraft mods.
Plenty of us have built cities in minecraft, often full of villagers. But this mod would bring new purpose and relevance to those cities. New functionality.
And in multiplayer... the possibilities are pretty fun to think about. That is where it really would become real time strategy.

im currently working on a models for a future mod that will feature RTS however It is not lifesized... instead Max dimensions of buildings are 2x2 mc blocks... mainly out of models i was thinking on 20+vs20+ battles
Ps im making the models in a relax way.. Pm me for more Info n stuff
hell yeah it would be pretty cool. I am looking at your mod and even as an idea you seem to be missing features like the worker mobs physically gathering resources. Mind you there is a mod that already does that part. Minions Mod by AtomicStryker
The minions work a bit too fast for what i had in mind for this mod. And I don't think they build. But I recall seeing a mod advertised by a youtuber that does that. I don't remember the name for that one sadly. But if you find it I imagine combining them would be relatively simple. Though I am not a modder.

Duh... most mods go full dimension buildings... in the end Either lot of em die and they are harder to code.... AKA over Used... i know a mod that would have full dimensional buildings and steve sized Mobs to controll its alled Starcraft mod...
It will mostlikely take forever to make thos and will require a lot space... And as i know some peeps Dont really want to **** up lot space in order to have full dimensionall buildings... my mod im thinking about making is aiming to Be Small possible Using less Space... altough max buildings height will be 2 mc blocks.... It would give you also a better overview on your base.... It will also increase The Possibility to Controll your troops easyer....
ps If i were to ever release an .api... players will be able to make their own factions (possibility in Full dimensional Addon Is to be expected)

YES, DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING, I LOVE IT ALREADY, ALWAYS WANTED THIS, I'D HELP WITH THIS, I'M ON THE HYPE TRAIN. But seriously, if you want any help, I'd be happy to.

I wont change anything however i Never coded anything before and Progress is quite slow due to me Being lazy/gaming Addict and due to Love to anime/manga progress is uber slow... However... Im looking for a laptop to use as an Machine For the mod... I am currently With a group of Dev's and Players... ((Galacticraft Group) Devs as in addon makers.) loving our chats... day in day out youre free to join us on discord... heres the chat group Of the Rndom army https://forum.micdoodle8.com/index.php?threads/non-official-galacticraft-discord-server.6599/ on there it is a chance id Post some pics of modells im making
ps
you'd better not hype too much... as it may lead to dissappointment later
hmm.. perhaps make a version with full sized buildings too?
