Description

![](https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/description/1338090/description_84801717-51cc-40cc-8d71-48316522a3ab.png) ## Villager Overhaul Welcome to **Villager Overhaul**. This mod adds a bunch of QoL features to trading, farming, adds Villager combat mechanics as well telling your villagers to do something (via a chat message). Why this mod? Simply put: * Mojang clearly forgot about Villagers 🥲 * Each Villager is unique, giving the player new ideas to make use of its skills * Make villagers more _alive_ and give them a purpose other than being prisoners at Steve's mercy * Villagers will now turn your areas into living, breathing cities Trading features consume emeralds. The default configuration tries to be _balanced_, but everything is fully configurable, of course. For now, this mod only supports NeoForge 1.21.1 and beyond, due to the complexity of the mod’s architecture. I may investigate porting to 1.20.1 in the future, but there are no plans as of now. ### Wiki Please visit: [https://z2six.github.io/VillagerOverhaul](https://z2six.github.io/VillagerOverhaul) ![](https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/description/1338090/description_18ca7a59-8342-4042-8213-92ec32a2be61.png) ## Chat commands ![](https://files.catbox.moe/c4gcz8.gif) * Teach your villager to do stuff by showing them what to do * Save the sequence of actions (like a macro) and set a chat message * Type the chat message, if the Villager is in range it will do what you taught it * Shout "help" or "follow" to make nearby villagers stop what they're doing and do what they're told! ## Guard Features Vitality | Agility | Strength | Armor * Give villagers fully functioning equipment (armor, sword, shield) * Each villager spawns with 4 randomized custom Combat stats * Villagers return to normal jobs (like farming) when not on guard duty * Assign patrol routes to villagers * Tell villagers to follow you or stop moving * Villagers eat food to regenerate HP * Fully customize when villagers engage in combat (individually or globally) * Customize each villager’s combat AI ## Merchant features Generosity | Timeliness| Intellect | Hoarder * Reroll trades at any villager level in exchange for emeralds * Lock specific trades so they won’t get rerolled * Automatically reroll until a specific item is found while you're away (RMB on reroll button) * Automatic trading (example: quickly trade all paper for emeralds) (CTRL+Click on a sell-type trade) * Each villager spawns with 4 randomized custom Merchant stats ## Farming Features Motivation | Efficiency | Plant Whisperer | Ranger * Manual Farming mode: smarter than vanilla farming, works with any modded item that requires Farmland (Nether Wart + Soul Sand is supported too, though) * Instruct your villager to only farm one specific thing. It will ignore everything else * Villager can use Hoe (with Fortune enchant) * Register a deposit and withdrawal chest for each villager * Villager's will place/take items in the registered chest, based on its settings * Register a "workstation" and a range in which the villager works (around its workstation, which can be any block) * Villagers will turn Dirt into Farmland within their working range (if you turn that on in Farm Settings GUI) * Configure when/what to deposit/withraw * Configure what items to pick up * Villagers will take Bonemeal from Withdraw chest and use it on crops * Planting seeds gives EXP * Villager auto-crafting is disabled (e.g. turning Wheat into Bread) * Each villager spawns with 4 randomized custom Farming stats ## General Features * Turn off/on any of this mod's modules completely: Merchants, Guards, Farmers. * Villagers can be respawned * Other players cannot run commands, rerolls, etc. on villagers you recruited * Villager information GUI showing stats, history, attributes, and more * Localized chat with shouting and whisper function, due to incompatibility with the popular (and very cool) mod. * Server config is hot-loaded — no server restart required ## How to Use 1. 📝 Read the wiki! 😉 2. 👪 Find a villager (or breed one) 3. 💎 Right-click to recruit it (if you like its stats) 4. 🖱️ Right-click it again — the mod’s buttons will now appear 5. 📊 Configure `villageroverhaul-server.toml` to rebalance everything 6. ⚙️ Press **K** to set default villager combat AI settings 7. 👻 Perfect villager died? Right-click a **Respawn Anchor** while holding an emerald ## Important incompatibilities 1. Localized Chat (hence, this mod adds the same features)
