About this Mod

Banner Image

Will's Lively Villages is a mod that breathes life into Minecraft villages by adding unique villager names, immersive village naming, and increased protection for the golems who live within them.

Features

Biome-Specific Villager Names

With Will's Lively Villages, villagers across different biomes now have unique first and last names to add more personality to your village inhabitants.

  • Each biome has hundreds of names to choose from, giving your villagers a true identity and making them feel more alive.
  • Name tags can no longer be used on villagers since they now come with their own given names.

Biome-Specific Village Names

Each village you come across will now be named according to the biome in which it is generated. Upon entering a village its name will appear, creating a sense of place and belonging.

  • Over 300 unique village names are available per biome, making each village you encounter feel distinct and special.
  • Names are displayed only when you enter the village, enhancing the immersion without disrupting your exploration.

Villagers Repair Iron Golems

Villagers are now more engaged in protecting their homes. They actively help repair damaged iron golems, ensuring your village's defenses remain strong.

  • Villagers will gather around iron golems to repair them, ensuring that golems can continue protecting the village.
  • You'll notice healing particles and sounds as villagers work to keep the golems in top condition, adding to the atmosphere of a bustling and well-defended village.

Compatibility

Will's Lively Villages should support the majority of other village/villager mods. Including those that add more villager professions, village structures and generate villages in new biomes.
