About this project

What does Experienced villagers add?

Experienced villagers

No more completely identical and predictable villagers when you first meet them! Experienced villagers adds a touch more realism and variety to your NPCs by personalising their experience from the moment they appear.

A variety of skills: When each NPC is created, there’s a chance they’ll appear with a wealth of experience already under their belt.

Immediate progress: Discover craftspeople who are more experienced than others, unlocking new trade options right from the start without you having to train them from scratch.

Seamless integration: Preserves the natural flow of the vanilla game whilst boosting your villages’ economies.

Out of 100 villagers, you’ll have on average:

🟩 20 Novices with absolutely no experience
🟨 40 Novices who’ve already done a bit of work
🟧 30 Apprentices
🟥 10 Journeymen, who are quite rare

A lightweight yet essential mod to make trade more lively and unpredictable from the moment you arrive in a new village !

  • Compatibility: Designed to work smoothly alongside other survival and difficulty-enhancing mods.
  • Modpack Permissions: You are free to include this mod in any modpack, as long as the download links back to CurseForge/Modrinth.
