About this Mod
📖 Description
This Project got archived and replaced by Nice Name Tags, which let's you change a Villager's type more intuitive.
With Nice Villager Type Changer players can change a Villagers type by handing it one of the listed items. The type changes based on the item which was given out. Handing one of the items has by default a 20% chance of changing the type (Can be changed in the config menu). A Villagers type can only be changed when the Villager has no profession. Regardless of whether the type has changed, the item gets consumed when used.
