Hands Off, Villagers!

🌱 Hands Off, Villagers!

Villagers are cute.
But when they start looting rare seeds like they're running a black-market flower ring — it's time to say no.

Tired of farmers hoarding torchflower seeds and pitcher pods they can't even replant?
Hands Off, Villagers! is a lightweight datapack that enforces healthy boundaries in your village.
Because not everything green belongs in their grubby little hands.

✨ What it does

This datapack removes:

• minecraft:torchflower_seeds
• minecraft:pitcher_pod

from the minecraft:villager_plantable_seeds tag.
This prevents villagers (especially farmers) from picking them up and stuffing them into their inventory forever.

✅ Features

• 🧠 Vanilla-friendly – no mods required
• 🎮 Client/server compatible – drop into any world or server
• 🎯 Focused – affects only two items
• 🎨 Custom icon included – so even your datapack list looks great
• 🆕 Minecraft 1.21.2+ supported

💡 Technical Notes

This datapack overrides: data/minecraft/tags/items/villager_plantable_seeds.json with a minimal seed list (excluding torchflower and pitcher pod).

If you're using other datapacks that edit the same tag, make sure to check compatibility or merge tag files accordingly.
