Ancestry

by Waddels

Ancestry changes which biome a baby villager takes after breeding, so the child follows its parents' biome type.

FabricServer-side onlyCC0 1.0 Universal26.2

What it does

When two villagers breed, the baby is assigned a biome type from its parents with a 100% chance, rather than the 50% chance the default game uses for the biome where the baby is born. Villagers can still pick a biome in the other case, so a player's setup stays predictable. Fabric API is required to load the mod, and the server is the only side that needs it, since players join without installing anything.

Key features

  1. Parent-based biome

    A baby villager takes its biome type from its parents every time, instead of depending on where it is born.

  2. Simple change

    The mod changes only villager breeding and leaves other villager behavior as it is.

  3. Deterministic outcome

    Removing the random 50% chance means a village keeps the same biome types across generations of breeding.

Questions

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed on the server next to Ancestry.

What the author says

A simple mod that changes villager breeding. When villagers give birth, the baby's biome type will 100% be a descendant of the parents. Before, the baby would have a 50% chance their biome type being of the biome it was born in.
