About this project

What does Psycho Villagers add?

A somewhat scary and weird mod that adds a 10% chance for villagers to be hidden psychos who attack vulnerable targets, mostly at night.

You don’t have to wonder whether a village has psychos or not. Craft a Notepad and interact with villagers and other objects to find clues.

If all villagers say "nothing to worry about", there are likely no psychos in the village.

Restraints can be used to move villagers around and tie them to fences. Works like a lead.

Restraints recipe

Also may be useful:

  • Blood can be cleared with a brush, and rain slowly washes it away too
  • Corpses are buried with a shovel
  • Hold SHIFT (sneak) to reduce the chances of being spotted or scaring psychos away when following them
  • Using Notepad can open a screen where you can mark known villagers as suspects and as dead or missing

Config:

  • You can manually spawn a psycho villager with "/psychovillagers spawn" command.
  • In the config file you can turn off horror sounds, change psycho chance and more.
  • The mod is configured for slower pace, if you want psychos to be more active, edit config. Specifically the rest_minutes catregory.
How to beat the kidnapper

You can simply throw him into lava or make him fall from a high place, OR you can let him kidnapp you and then find the chest room in the labyrinth. In the chest there is a sword and 2 health potions. You should kill the original inside the labyrinth, it will kill him in the overworld.

Also, if the kidnapper was able to kidnap a villager, you may find him in a separate room and release him, but you also have to exit or kill the original for the kidnapped villager to be free.

You can disable the kidnapper in the config If you prefer to not be dragged to some dimension.

Also check out:

  • Purge Night addon that adds a randomly accuring night event that lets villagers express their anger.
  • Purification Night modpack for a short challenge around Purge Night event.
