Attack On Villager
Attack On Villager makes villages fight back, so villagers defend themselves when a raid reaches their village.
What it does
When raiders attack a village, the villagers respond instead of standing still. The mod changes how the village reacts to a raid, which is the core of the gameplay. Fabric API is required, and the mod has to run with a Java 17 or newer runtime.
The mod works on Minecraft 1.19, 1.19.1 and 1.19.2. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt. Attack On Villager runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source, with public links to its source code, issue tracker and wiki.
Key features
Villager self-defense
Villagers fight back during raids rather than waiting to be defended by the player.
Village defense during raids
The village reacts as a whole when it is attacked, turning the raid into a fight the settlement can take part in.
Three game versions
Builds cover 1.19 – 1.19.2, with 1.0.1 for 1.19.2 as the latest file on both loaders.

How it compares
No More Villagers is a Fabric option that is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is published for 1.18 – 1.21. Village Keeper is a client and server Fabric mod for 1.19.2 – 1.19.4. The Village Fights Back runs on client and server too, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, with files for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
