Requires VillagerTradingPlus

VillagersPlus needs VillagersTradingPlus to run. It is the library that builds every trade in this mod, on Fabric as well as on NeoForge. Without it the game will not start.

On Fabric you also need Fabric API. On NeoForge you do not.


Professions

Profession Workstation Theme
Horticulturist Flower Tub Flowers, saplings, leaves and everything that grows
Oceanographer Aquarium Corals, sea plants and the creatures that live in them
Alchemist Alchemist Table Potions, brewing ingredients and nether loot
Occultist Enchanted Basin Amethyst, candles, soul fire and experience
Miner Ore Grinder Ores, rails, pickaxes and everything below y=0

Workstations

Flower Tub (Horticulturist) Holds up to 4 small plants or 1 tall plant: flowers, saplings, corals, grass and more. Comes in every wood variant.

Aquarium (Oceanographer) Holds up to 4 sea plants and 1 bucketable entity. Feed it Fish Food to enlarge the fish, Diet Food to shrink it again, and Calming Food to settle it down. Place more aquariums next to it to create an even larger one.

Enchanted Basin (Occultist) Stores experience. Right-click to take experience out, sneak right-click to store it.

Alchemist Table (Alchemist) Insert gunpowder as fuel, three empty bottles and one potion as the ingredient. With a 1 in 3 chance the three bottles are converted into random potions, each of them either a normal or a splash potion. Otherwise the table explodes and the bottles and fuel are lost. The terrain stays intact, and the explosion can be switched off in the config.

Ore Grinder (Miner) A furnace-style ore doubler with four slots: input, fuel, output and a pickaxe.

  • The pickaxe material sets the speed: no pickaxe 800 ticks, wood 600, stone 300, iron 200, diamond 150, netherite 133, gold 100.
  • Fortune on the pickaxe adds extra yield on top of the doubling.
  • The pickaxe takes durability damage per grind and breaks when depleted.
  • A redstone signal pauses the machine.

The Miner's mineshaft

A shaft descends from underneath every miner's house. By default it ends in a real vanilla mineshaft, with corridors, crossings, rails, cobwebs and minecart chests, instead of dead-ending. The miner's house generates in plains, savanna and taiga villages.


Trades and datapacks

Every trade in this mod is defined as JSON and served by VillagersTradingPlus. A datapack can add, replace or delete trades, change the currency away from emeralds, gate trades behind conditions and reprice them, for the VillagersPlus professions as well as the vanilla ones and the wandering trader. The full trade format is documented on that project's page.

Configuration

Workstations

  • Max experience storable in the Enchanted Basin, and the amount per interaction
  • Whether the Alchemist Table can explode, and how likely it is
  • Ore Grinder output multiplier, Fortune bonus and pickaxe damage per grind

Worldgen

  • The weight of every VillagersPlus house in each village type
  • Whether the miner's shaft opens into a real vanilla mineshaft

Trade counts, price scaling and the trading screen controls live in VillagerTradingPlus' own config, because they apply to every mod feeding the library.

Frequently Asked Questions

VillagersPlus server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.8). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is VillagersPlus compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

VillagersPlus officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.1, 1.20.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with VillagersPlus – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if VillagersPlus consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
