About this Mod
Description
Gives Villagers and Wandering Traders realistic loot based on their professions. Loot will drop when they die, and is meant to make them feel more like real characters than just the boring NPC you trade with and trap in a 1x1 (and yes, this pack will probably end up encouraging more of that).
Examples:
- All villagers have 4-8 bread
- All villagers have 1-5 emeralds except: Unemployed - 1-4, Nitwit - 0-2
- Blacksmiths (weaponsmith, toolsmith, armorer) have diamonds*, iron, and relevant iron gear
- Clerics have items related to their magic-related trades including ender pearls and ender eyes*
- Farmers have crops (potatoes even have a chance to be poisonous) and a hoe
- Wandering traders focus on exploring
- And much more!
About balancing:
- Blacksmith villagers having renewable diamonds seems fair because of how easy diamonds are to find while mining.
- Clerics having eyes of ender is not vanilla in recent versions, but since it's a lower chance (pearls are 1/2 and eyes are 1/4 of the other items' chances), it would take a lot of death to fill an end portal. It would take less work to get a fire res potion from piglins and loot a fortress. It's just an alternative.
Versions
