Bandits target players and fight back, use a full set of iron, and have a chance for their items to be enchanted.

 

When a player lingers within a space of one block for 8 seconds, a bandit spawns, falling from the sky and landing 20 - 0 blocks from the player. This 8-second spawn timer repeats endlessly.

 

An amount increases by 20 plus 1/5th of the current amount after every twenty minutes. It decreases by 1 when a bandit spawns, and prevents bandits from spawning when it reaches 0. It begins at 60 at the start of a world.

 

Bandits don't despawn, see as far as 60 blocks, and drop 0 items and 15 xp.

 

Commands:
/disableAmbushes
/enableAmbushes
(Ambushes or bandit spawning is enabled by default.)
/disableBanditMining
/enableBanditMining
(Bandit mining is enabled by default.)

 

(x = Easy/Normal/Hard)
Chance rolling for each enchantment = 10%/30%/50%
Weapon damage = 2/4/7 hearts
Breaking time = the block's hardness times 5/1/.5 in ticks

 

They don't drop the blocks they break.

 

Enchantments:
Sharpness, Knockback, Fire Aspect, Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, Projectile Protection, Feather Falling, Depth Strider, Frost Walker, and Thorns.

Shoutout to Jimmity for the skin which I changed up a bit.

  • Added water breathing and fire resistance to Demolisher class.
  • Note: All bandits can mine normally underwater.

  • Removed commands to enable and disable bandit building.
  • Tweaked bandit building.

  • Changed grace period from 3.3 minutes to 32 minecraft hours (around 26.6 min.).
  • War period, a new feature, will occur every 1 or 2 minecraft weeks. During this war period, bandit spawning will occur by difficulty chance regardless of spawn timer.

1.4

  • Changed bandit spawning distance from player to 23 - 46 from 12 - 25
  • Fixed blue seed drop.

1.3

  • Has player's movement speed and 60 follow range
  • Despawn at night and can't spawn on blocks that can't see the sky.
  • Removed stealing feature to make bandits less foreign to Minecraft. (I might add a feature in the far future that relates to stealing.)
  • Changed the seeds' name to Blue Seeds.
  • Removed Blue Seeds' ability to summon bandits. Now, they are crafted to make Menidigs.
  • Removed Menidig's ability to give you speed boost while holding. It had a durability.

1.1

  • Added Menidig, a rare drop of Bandits, as suggested by 91arrows. 
  • Bandits spawn only when you're not moving, as suggested by 91arrows.
  • Bandits steal one stack of items from you and hold it in their off-hand.You can get it back by killing them. If they despawn, however, you'll lose the items forever. This was suggested by 91arrows.
  • Added a local timer for spawning bandits for each player instead of a global timer that every player contributes to.
  • Changed the skin of Bandit.
  • Removed immunity to fall damage, immunity to drowning, and immunity to arrows from Bandit.

nice update! still love this mod, it fits really well into minecraft. can the seeds still spawn bandits, and does the menidig still give speed boosts? where did its name come from?

as a reward, maybe make the bandits drop a lot of items, none of which can be used to kill bandits easier. also, the biome-specific bandit variants in jacobb's comment should have relatively similar looks, just some different attack strategies and drops.

looking forward to more updates!

Thanks dude! I removed the seeds' abilty to spawn bandits and the menidig's passive ability to give you speed boosts; I should have noted them on the changelog.
The seeds are called Blue Seeds because they're blue, and the Menidig was a name I thought of on the spot.
About "as a reward, maybe make the bandits drop a lot of items", I can do so, but I would hate it if somebody made this an easy, op farm, looking at SMP players.
I was thinking about making the biome-specific bandits have different models. (That would be hard.) However, "relatively similar looks" would be more natural than different models entirely.
Noting "just some different attack strategies and drops, I'll brainstorm effective and realistic strategies bandits could outplay players with; the different drops also applies with my previous statement: "I would hate it if somebody made this an easy, op farm, looking at SMP players."

Bandits' proposal:
-Tudra bandits can be armed with 10% stone axes 40% iron swords 50% bows. Their behavior is similar to the current bandits only with the risk of being shot by a bow: drop 0-2 gold nuggets, 0-11 iron nuggets, blue seeds, weapons
-Bandites from Savannah would have mostly bows and sickles. They would have an African skin. They would run away like a skeleton when wielding a bow.

1. Stone axes, iron swords, bows, and iron nuggets sound good to me! However, if a feature makes bandits remind me of piglins, I won't stand by it, so no gold nuggets! (It's a small feature, but hey! Features both result from and affect my creativity.)
2. About sickles, if you're talking about a hoe as a weapon, I shall allow it.
3. "Bandites from Savannah would have mostly bows and sickles. They would have an African skin. They would run away like a skeleton when wielding a bow." is barging its way into my list of options.
Thank you mate.

-Bandites from Savannah would have mostly bows and sickles. They would have an African skin. They would run away like a skeleton when wielding a bow.

- Corsairs. Viking skin. They take care of the oceans in ships or two in one boat. They could plunder villarger villages. Chainmail armor or dusted armor or new armor. Iron axes, bow or crossbow, and chewing axes are very durable. They hate villarger golems and pillargers, they plunder all varieties of villarger even witches. Drop 0-2 iron bars, 0-20 iron nuggets, 0-2 fish or salmon. There would be treasures in Viking ships. You can even do a Viking raid "Bad Odin" where there would be a boss in the final wave. Viking leader.It would be a stronger raid than the pillargas on bad omen 5. They would

- Paid killer - this is the only bandit with a different model, but probably the most difficult. It is neutral to golems and villargers. It will look like a villarger and spawn in the village. He looks like a villarger at first, but when you get close enough to him, he draws his gun. Its characteristic feature will be a scar under the eye,
Drop: 0-3 emeralds, weapons sometimes
- Desert bandits. They would ride camels with spears and swords. Their feature would be that they are very fast. So that's why it's worth riding horses. They would have a new desert bandit armor: a bandana, and a skin like the rest of the armor - Strength similar to leather. Drop: 0-6 gold nuggets, sometimes armor and weapons, 0-11 blue seeds.

- Mongol invaders, They would appear in woodless areas. They would mostly use bows and crossbows and ride horses, and the tactic is to surround the player and charge at him. Drop: 0-3 arrows, weapons, 0-2 threads, leather armor
- Robbers The weakest bandits behave like standard ones, only they have totally random wooden, stone, rarely iron tools. Their skin would be similar to a sculptor. They will spawn on every biome.
- Bandits from the woods. They have some leather armor are equipped with 70% bows and 30% stone swords, wooden, rarely iron. They surround the player and shoot him with a bow. Those who do not have a bow protect shooters. Drop: arrows 0-3, skura 0-2, sticks 0-4, weapons.
I think good suggestions :)

whoa that's a lot of suggestions
also about the farming, an easy way to incorporate all the items above would be to only drop them when the player kills a bandit, and not drop them for a certain amount of time in the same large radius. they could still drop blue seeds on death every time, since the menidig actually doesn't have much use.
