French Soldier Invasion

Quickstart

• Load into any world with this pack applied and just keep playing normally — you don't need to craft or spawn anything yourself.
• Every time the world's day/night cycle flips (roughly every in-game day and night), a horde of 900 Hostile French Soldiers spawns around every player currently online. You'll get a chat warning when it happens: "LA HORDE FRANÇAISE ARRIVE! 900 soldats ont envahi le monde."
• From that point on, most hostile mobs that try to spawn naturally (zombies, skeletons, creepers, spiders, endermen, piglins, and many more) are instantly replaced with Hostile French Soldiers instead.
• Get within about 18 blocks of a soldier and you'll hear them scream and see French battle chatter appear in chat.
• If you want, use a spawn egg (Hostile French Soldier Spawn Egg) to summon one yourself, or run /summon com_french_soldier_invasion_yxvnuqav:french_soldier in a command-enabled world.
• Want the soldiers to leave you alone (mostly)? Tag your player with /tag @s add french_female — see below.

Overview

France has invaded, and its army isn't going anywhere. This mod turns the world's hostile mob population into an endless, screaming French infantry force. Instead of zombies and skeletons stalking the night, you'll find aggressive French soldiers taking their place — and periodically, entire waves of them pour into the world all at once regardless of what's spawning naturally.

What It Adds

Hostile French Soldier — a zombie-like hostile mob dressed and voiced as a French infantryman.

• 28 health, deals 5 damage per hit.
• Walks, swims, climbs, and can open and pass through doors — it will chase you almost anywhere.
• Attacks players on sight (see the exception below), and also targets villagers, wandering traders, iron golems, and snow golems.
• Spawns naturally at night or in dark areas on normal spawn rules, usually arriving in small packs of 2–4.
• Screams in French when you're nearby, with lines like "À l'attaque!", "Pour la France!", and "Vous ne passerez pas!"
• Drops rotten flesh, and has a small chance to drop iron ingots, carrots, or potatoes.

Hostile French Soldier Spawn Egg — lets you summon a soldier anywhere, anytime, for testing or for building your own encounters.

How To Use

• Just play. No crafting is required — the invasion runs automatically in the background.
• Watch the sky. Every time day turns to night (or night turns to day) while at least one player is online, a fresh wave of 900 soldiers spawns scattered around all online players, roughly 14–34 blocks away from each.
• Expect mob replacement. Any time a vanilla hostile mob (zombie, skeleton, creeper, spider, enderman, piglin, blaze, ghast, warden, etc.) would normally spawn, it's swapped out for a Hostile French Soldier instead. This means the usual monster roster is almost entirely replaced by the French army over time.
• Listen for the horde. Getting near soldiers triggers ambient battle-cry chatter and sound effects, so you'll always know when the French army is closing in.
• Opt into "madame" dialogue. Give yourself the tag french_female with /tag @s add french_female and soldiers will sometimes greet you with flirtatious lines like "Madame, vous êtes courageuse!" instead of attacking outright — though non-tagged players are still valid targets and player characters with this tag can still be targeted by nearby fighting if other conditions apply.

Crafting And Obtaining

There are no crafting recipes for this mod — the Hostile French Soldier is obtained only by natural spawning, horde events, mob replacement, or the spawn egg/summon command.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Horde Waves: Twice per full day/night cycle, 900 soldiers spawn near every online player. This is a massive, sudden swarm — be ready to run, fort up, or fight.
• Universal Mob Replacement: The mod actively watches for hostile mob spawns and converts them into French soldiers, meaning the world's usual monster variety is dominated by soldiers almost everywhere.
• Targeting Behavior: Soldiers prioritize players (unless tagged french_female), then villagers, wandering traders, iron golems, and snow golems within 35 blocks — they will actively hunt and defend against attacks on nearby NPCs and golems.
• Amphibious and Persistent: Soldiers can swim, breathe underwater, climb, and open doors, making them hard to escape via terrain or shelter alone.

Progression And Strategy

• Because soldiers replace most hostile mobs, expect combat and loot farming to revolve almost entirely around fighting French soldiers rather than the vanilla monster roster.
• Prepare for periodic horde surges — build defenses, keep villagers protected, and stock healing items before a day/night transition, since 900 soldiers can appear at once.
• Rotten flesh will become a common byproduct of the invasion; the rare iron ingot, carrot, or potato drops offer a modest reward for engaging hordes directly.
• If you're overwhelmed, retreating to enclosed shelter helps, but remember soldiers can open doors and climb, so line up secondary defenses rather than relying on doors alone.
