REQUIRED MODS:

This datapack buffs guards so they have better gear in general, general features are:

Every armor piece has a 20% chance to be enchanted between 15-30 levels; (Except diamond)
Every melee weapon has a 20% chance to be enchanted between 3-24 levels;
Guards now have a chance to spawn with steel weapons from Alloyed;
Guards now have a chance to spawn with shields from Shield Expansion;
Adds bows & axes to weapon pool;
Upped chance for spawning with armor by a lot.

Made this simple datapack quickly to compensate for the fact that in my modpack the guards nearly immediately die.

Honestly, I may not update this but this may serve as a good example for you how to customize the guards loadout through datapacks.
