About this project
What does Villagers Are Alive! add?
Villagers Alive! makes villages feel like communities, with villagers who have their own personalities and little moments of everyday life.
- Distinct personalities: Meet friendly, grumpy, curious, timid, playful, serious, social, and lonely villagers.
- Playful children: Babies chase each other, copy your jumps and sneaking, follow out of curiosity, and seek nearby adults when frightened.
- Village life: Villagers socialize, gather around interesting events, watch over children, join their games, or disapprove of their mischief.
- Personal reactions: Villagers grow familiar with regular visitors and react to attention, disturbances, danger, and help.
These moments are subtle and occasional, leaving villagers free to carry on with their lives. Vanilla jobs, trading offers, breeding, and daily routines stay intact. Behaviors and their frequency are configurable.
Supports existing worlds, singleplayer, and multiplayer.
You're welcome to include this mod in public or private modpacks.
