Overview

When playing Minecraft, we encounter a vast array of Mobs. Most of them are either passive or aggressive. However, only two can be considered your allies: the tamed wolves and the Villagers (No, cats don't count. They really don't care about you).

Villagers are very useful, albeit a bit dumb sometimes. We rely on them for trades, automated crops, and Iron Farms. But they often don't receive the recognition they deserve. Sure, you can name them with nametags, but is it REALISTIC? Is it IMMERSIVE? NO!

The purpose of this mod is to bring more life into your game. Every villager that spawns in your world will be given a random name from a list of over 6000 names, which you can customize as desired. This way, every one of those big noses will be a person, not a thing. And you'll feel guilty when pushing them into lava because you don't like their trades.
