Thieves!

🗝️ Thieves!

Thieves! adds a new kind of hostile NPC to Minecraft: thieves who don’t want your life — they want your stuff, and the more you have, the more they take!

At night, under the right conditions, a thief may attempt a raid on your base. This can happen even if you are far away exploring — as long as you are logged into the world or server, your belongings are never entirely safe.

How It Works

• Thieves track player bases over time
• On certain nights, a theft attempt may occur
• There is a subtle in-game hint when a raid night is coming
• Thieves can open doors and navigate inside structures
• They search for chests, steal random items, and load them into a loot bag
• Loot bags are placed nearby while they work
• Once satisfied, the thief will escape the area

After escaping, the thief will attempt to settle down a few hundred blocks away with everything they stole — and possibly more…

Hideouts (Planned)

In future versions, thieves will create or occupy hideouts where:

• Stolen items are stored
• Players can track down and reclaim their loot
• Thieves may live, defend, or expand their territory

⚠️ Current State

📦Notes

• Thieves only act while the player is logged in
