Description from the author on Modrinth

Recruits - Null


Depends on: Villager Recruits, Core Lib

Features

Null warriors

  • Spawn naturally in the End on outer islands
  • Hostile to players without a Totem of Null
  • Peaceful and free to recruit if you hold a Totem of Null
  • Random scrambled names, e.g. IhfmZqCcwsf5Rb
  • Fully black skin
  • Spawn with full netherite gear:
  • Armor: Protection IV, Unbreaking III, Mending + Flow trim
  • Sword & axe: Sharpness V, Unbreaking III
  • Shield: Unbreaking III, black banner with a white circle
  • 64 golden apples in inventory
  • When owned, behavior is controlled via the normal Recruits commander GUI

Totem of Null

  • Crafted from Dragon Egg, Totem of Undying, and 3 Netherite Ingots
  • Always has Curse of Vanishing
  • Works like a Totem of Undying
  • Required to recruit Nulls; without it, hiring is blocked
  • If the totem activates or the owner dies (totem vanishes), the entire owned Null army dies with a void-style effect

Flow Armor Trim (backport)

Duplication: 7 diamonds + template + End Rod → 2 templates
(Breeze Rod does not exist in 1.20.1, so End Rod is used instead)

Config

File: config/nullrecruits-common.toml

Option · Description
enableNaturalSpawn · Turn natural End spawns on/off (summon still works)
spawnChance · Chance per spawn check
minGroup / maxGroup · Group size

P.S. I've also made a datapack that brings portal traveling.
