It's that easy. ### Requirements ~~This mod requires the [Architectury API](https://modrinth.com/mod/architectury-api) to be installed along with the mod~~ As of 1.20.1-1.2.0 and 1.20.2-1.1.0 Architectury API is no longer required. Only earlier versions of the 1.20.1 and 1.20.2 builds require it, any possible 1.19.X or earlier builds do not require it (May be coming in the future). ### Configuration #### Mod There are currently two options in the config file which can be found in `/config/villager-in-a-bucket.properties`. `enable-zombie-villager` sets whether a Zombie Villager can be picked up in a bucket. It does not remove the Zombie Villager In A Bucket item when disabled. Default is `true` #### Plugin Old config settings have been deprecated in favour of using permissions. Please read https://github.com/JustDoom/VillagerInABukkit/wiki/Configuring-using-permissions ```yml # If enabled, the other options, "villager", "zombie-villager", "wandering-trader", "disable-bucket-use-on-disable" and "harm-reputation" # (except the resource pack options) will be ignored in favour of using permissions instead. This is the recommended method. # The other ones will be removed in the future. If you are switching please read https://github.com/JustDoom/VillagerInABukkit/wiki/Configuring-using-permissions # If you can not see the other settings listed above in this file do not worry, you have just generated it after they were deprecated, and they have not been generated for you. use-permissions: true # Should the server ask the client to download a resource pack when they join resource-pack: true # The below options are commented out so that it uses the right resourcepack version for the minecraft/plugin version by default # If you want to override it/manually use an updated resourcepack you can uncomment and override them # The URL to download the resource pack from #resource-pack-url: "https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/9tf9GGch/versions/ZBgqIN0Y/VillagerInABukkitPack.zip" # The SHA-1 hash of the resource pack ZIP #resource-pack-hash: "f2d4dd5bf8ee221234b738236099b2592c58b8e8" # The ID for the resource pack. Please do not touch unless you know what you are doing #resource-pack-id: "68a4b411-e409-4d89-b563-66049ba4914b" # Should any villager placing and picking up be logged to the console console-logging: false # Should any villager placing and picking up be logged to a file file-logging: false ``` ## Support Support can be provided on my [discord server](https://discord.gg/ydGK5jYV6t) or you can report any bugs for the mod on the GitHub repository [here](https://github.com/JustDoom/VillagerInABucket/issues).
