Villager-NoGo
A Datapack that disables the Villager AI (with “NoAI“) by giving them a specific name
About this Mod
Villagers - NoGo

This Datapack allows player to set the "NoAI" Tag for Villagers to reduce the lag created by Villager Pathfinding.
How to use?
Disable AI:
You need to use a nametag to name a villager "disable_ai" (without quotation marks). The Nametag can be reused for multiple villagers. The Villagers that have "NoAI" are wearing a glass block on there head so you can see if they are no AI
Enable AI:
To reenable the pathfinding just use a Nametag with the name "enable_ai" (without quotation marks). It also can be reused so you don't need a Nametag for each villager
FAQ:
My Villager does not level up when even if the level bar is full.
The villagers cant level up as long the AI is disable. Just enable the AI till it leveled up.
Can i disable the villager AI in Farms?
No you can't this Datapack is created for villagers you trade with
Will my villagers still restock there trades when they got NoAI?
Yes they will restock twice a day
How to remove the Datapack?
You can delete all of my Datapacks with the command "/function #monke-dev:uninstall"
Or only this one with "/function villager-nogo:uninstall"
