This is one of the most brilliant mods available in the Minecraft community. It brings so many things to the game that there’s a lot to write about, but we’ll do our best to properly showcase this mod. But before that, its designer, Kodaichizero, deserves a loud applause for his creation.
The Clay Soldier mod lets you build a soldier out of pure clay. And according to their colors, the soldiers will enter into war. Read on to find out how the soldiers are crafted, and what the main features of the mod are.
Your soldiers’ color is determined by the chosen dyes at the top of the screen. Soldiers can fight against each other, whilst you oversee the battle and help your side win by supplying them with necessary items. Below are the items you can supply in order to customize your soldiers, along with some key features of the mod. Please note that you need to throw the item towards the soldiers so that they can make use of it.

Horses: Your clay soldiers can mount them when you right click on them.

Stick: Used as a weapon by your troops.
