FieldTypeDescription
tierEnumDefines the caravan tier. Possible values are small, medium, and large. The selected tier determines several caravan properties configured in the mod config screen:

- Spawn cooldown
- Spawn weight (rarity)
- Despawn delay
leaderCaravanMemberA Caravan Member object that acts as the leader of the caravan. This should be an illager-type mob (including modded ones), a ravager, or at least a witch – only these entities have the necessary AI to travel and lead others.
membersArray[CaravanMember]An array of Caravan Member objects that make up the caravan group.

- All illager-type members will follow their leader.
- Animals will be leashed to random illager members (except the leader), forming one or more “trains”.
- If no illager members are present, animals won’t be leashed to anyone and will not follow the caravan.
