About this project
What does Build A Guy! add?
Ever thought 1.12.2 villager breeding was annoying, meaningless, and honestly a total B-Word and a half? Well, thanks to this mod, they are now craftable, and the crafting recipe actually makes sense. All recipe variants can be seem using jei but here is links to all jei varients because why not, also not giving images since the crafing recipe is quite easy just 3 of the same door, a emerald block, any colored bed, one potato,bread,carrot,and beetroot not in that order, here: JEI/JER/JED/JEMC/JEI-V (just enough items/resources/drops/Magiculture/Villagers) tell me if there is mor efor 1.12.2
IMPORTANT
Villager Backport is required, as this is used for trading in mass amounts. Villager Backport lets villagers use blocks for professions, like in 1.14+. Otherwise, I'm unsure what will happen using this mod by itself; most likely it will classify them always as a nitwit or farmer if you use this mod without Villager Backport, but comment if it works well or causes a crash or something. Also, you can use FutureMC; it will work with practically every mod, not sure about OptiFine though lol. Mainly made as a small tweak.
Now I'm sure some of you will question why I'm using a replica spawn egg and why it might have issues. At first, I tried the normal villager spawn egg, but when it's made, instead of a villager egg, it is just called "Spawn" and it'shite. ANd you may think to use another villager spawn thing but trust me i looked there arent many and for the one that i think can craft the egg, makes it so ALL mobs are craftable which i thought were too op espeically since all their recipes can craft it in just a 2 by 2, this mod also makes it so the egg looks like a villager kind of, like in more recent versions, luckily i made it so the egg isnt gone once used in creative only survival, basically what i mean is it works almost like a normal egg, except Also, note: make sure to aim only at the ground, as if you aim this at the side of a block, it will spawn the villager inside the block. Here's a mod showcase video that's really cringey but basically explains everything.
Remember, doors have to be the Same variant, like a 3 of a kind; luckily, any bed WILL work, though
Q & A:
Q: Why did I make this?
A: Because I don't want to watch a YouTube video from 7 years ago to make more "Permanent Workers without Pay"
Q: Will you ever get the placement against the side of blocks fixed?
A: Sadly, probably not. I want to, but I don't know code, so I use the old 2020.2 MCreator, and it sucks, so its procedures are super hard
Q: Do you hate the door breeding rule?
A: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!%$#&*()#@&*(**/*-}}{+<>";.`~>;
