Relentless Faction

Quickstart

1. Load into your world and wait a few seconds — you'll automatically be shown the Relentless Faction Offer menu when you spawn.
2. Choose Join the faction to become an ally (raiders will be discouraged near you, though not fully safe), or Remain independent to face the raids with no protection.
3. Survive from day to day. Every in-game night that passes, a new wave of raiders and sentinels spawns around every player.
4. Fight back with any vanilla weapons and armor — there is no special gear added, only new enemies to fight or evade.
5. Watch the chat message each dawn — it tells you the current day count and how much stronger the raiders have become.

Overview

Relentless Faction turns every day/night cycle into an escalating siege. A hostile faction of Relentless Raiders grows in strength and numbers the longer your world survives, and powerful Meta Sentinels patrol as elite enforcers that hunt down both players and raiders alike. You can strike a temporary, non-violent alliance with the raiders through an in-game dialogue, but even allied players are never fully safe — Meta Sentinels remain hostile no matter what you choose.

Ordinary hostile mobs like zombies, skeletons, and creepers are removed from the world as they spawn, so the Relentless Faction becomes the dominant threat you face.

What It Adds

Both mobs have spawn eggs available in Creative Mode for testing or set-piece encounters, and both can be summoned directly if you want to trigger an encounter on demand.

How To Use

• The Offer: Shortly after you spawn into the world, a menu titled "Relentless Faction Offer" appears. Joining tags you as an ally — raiders that get close to you will take periodic damage automatically. Declining leaves you fully independent, with no special protection from either raider type.
• Day Transitions: Each time in-game night rolls over into day, a new wave of Relentless Raiders and Meta Sentinels spawns near every player in the world. The chat announces the new day number and the raiders' escalating power level.
• Ongoing Pressure: Beyond the daily wave, additional raiders periodically spawn near players throughout the day as time goes on, and vanilla hostile mobs are continually cleared out near you to keep the Relentless Faction as the primary threat.
• Raider Behavior: Raiders will break down doors, glass, and other blocks near themselves to close in on you or on structures you've built, so simple wooden defenses will not hold forever.
• Sentinel Behavior: Meta Sentinels attack players and Relentless Raiders on sight, making them dangerous to everyone regardless of your alliance choice.

Crafting And Obtaining

This mod does not add craftable items or recipes. Content is obtained purely through natural world spawning during day transitions and periodic spawn waves, or by using the Relentless Raider and Meta Sentinel spawn eggs found in your Creative inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Escalating Difficulty: Relentless Raiders become far stronger with each passing day — their health increases dramatically day over day, making early raiders trivial but later ones extremely tough opponents that require serious gear and strategy to defeat.
• Alliance Tag: Choosing to join the faction applies a lasting ally status. While allied, any Relentless Raiders that wander close to you take periodic damage, giving you some breathing room — but this offers no protection against Meta Sentinels.
• Block Destruction: Raiders actively dismantle nearby blocks such as doors and glass, so builds meant to keep them out need to be reinforced with sturdier materials and layouts.
• Hostile Mob Replacement: Common vanilla hostile mobs are removed near players, shifting the world's night-time danger almost entirely onto the Relentless Faction.

Progression And Strategy

• Expect the first several days to be manageable, with small numbers of raiders that are easy to defeat with basic gear.
• As days accumulate, raider health scales up sharply — plan to upgrade your weapons, armor, and base defenses well ahead of major day milestones.
• Meta Sentinels appear in greater numbers as more day cycles pass, so treat their appearance as a signal that the overall threat level has stepped up.
• Because raiders break through doors and glass, favor stone, deepslate, or other tougher building materials for any long-term base defenses.
• Decide early whether to ally with the faction — the periodic damage to nearby raiders can help you survive longer stretches, but don't rely on it as a substitute for genuine combat readiness against Meta Sentinels.
