TACZ CS: Armory Protocol

TACZ CS: Armory Protocol

TACZ CS: Armory Protocol is the successor to TACZ CS Bot, bringing Counter-Strike-inspired AI battles and long-term progression to Minecraft using TACZ (Timeless and Classics Zero) weapons.

Fight alongside or against intelligent bots, survive evolving zombie outbreaks, and build your own weapon collection through missions, rewards, crafting, and an extensive armory system.

The original bot combat experience remains at the heart of the mod, now expanded with new game modes, improved AI, redesigned interfaces, player progression, and equipment management.

Six Playable Game Modes

• Practice — Customize bots, teams, difficulty, weapons, and equipment for training and testing.

• Team Deathmatch — Join the red or blue team in fast-paced combat with respawns, customizable settings, and score-based victory conditions.

• Demolition — Experience classic Counter-Strike-style bomb planting and defusal, with round-based combat, team objectives, and tactical equipment.

• Biohazard: Night Evolution — Survive a zombie infection outbreak with multiple zombie classes, evolution abilities, supply crates, and changing day-night phases. Unlock powerful transformations such as Zombie Hunter and Dark Night Lord.

• Gun King — Start with powerful weapons and progress through up to 30 weapon levels by eliminating opponents. Weapons become weaker as you advance, making the final stages increasingly challenging.

• Free for All — Fight against everyone in an individual competition where every bot and player is an opponent.

Armory & Progression

Armory Protocol introduces a complete progression system designed to give players long-term goals beyond individual matches.

• Player Levels & Statistics — Level up, track combat performance, and earn progression rewards.

• Weapon Collection — Unlock, collect, and manage weapons and equipment of different quality tiers.

• Armory Shop — Purchase weapons, equipment, crates, and other available items.

• Weapon, Material & Attachment Crates — Obtain randomized rewards to expand your collection.

• Crafting System — Use collected materials to manufacture equipment and other items.

• Missions & Achievements — Complete daily, weekly, and progression-based objectives to earn rewards.

• Battle Pass & Events — Progress through seasonal reward tracks and participate in special activities.

• Custom Loadouts — Save and manage different equipment configurations for supported game modes.

Progress is stored locally, allowing players to develop their armory over time.

Advanced AI Combat

Bots use TACZ’s native weapon handling, including drawing, aiming, firing, reloading, bolt cycling, and projectile ballistics.

They are independent Minecraft entities and do not require CustomNPCs, KubeJS, or fake players.

AI features include:

• Configurable bot difficulty, equipment, and behavior.

• Custom player-style models, randomized names, and skins.

• Movement, target selection, pursuit, and combat positioning.

• Team coordination and support behavior.

• Navigation through Minecraft terrain, including specialized traversal paths.

• Mode-specific combat and survival behavior.

AI behavior continues to be improved for more natural and challenging encounters.

Biohazard: Night Evolution

Biohazard offers a survival-focused experience with its own progression and combat mechanics.

Play as a human fighting against infection or become a zombie and hunt down survivors.

Features include multiple zombie classes, active abilities, evolution upgrades, specialized human abilities, equipment purchasing, supply drops, and powerful transformations.

As the match progresses, zombies become increasingly dangerous. Survive until dawn, defend strategic positions, and use your resources wisely.

Maps & Customization

Create and configure battle arenas using the in-game map management tools.

Set team spawn points, zombie spawn locations, bomb sites, map boundaries, and defensive positions. Navigation scanning helps bots move through supported terrain.

The mod also includes extensive settings for game modes, bot behavior, weapons, equipment, user interfaces, and visual effects.

Prebuilt maps are not included. Players can configure their own Minecraft worlds or use suitable downloaded maps.
