About this Mod
📖 Description
Nice Nitwit Quests gives Nitwits a new use by introducing small Quests to them. Every Nitwit spawns with an indicator above its head which shows what Item the Nitwit is requesting from players. By right clicking the Nitwit Villager with the requested item will reward players with some loot which is useful but not overpowered. After the third time the Nitwit has received the requested amount of items from a player it will remove the indicator and turn back to its original state.
🛠️ How to, Instructions & Commands
The datapack usually just needs to be installed. There is nothing else you have to do. It just works out of the box.
But if you are playing on a PaperMC Server (or a PaperMC Fork like Purpur) make sure to set allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards in your paper config files to true in order for everything to work properly.
