BadNitwit

by break08

BadNitwit replaces nitwit villagers with ordinary unemployed villagers, so villages generate without the job-less nitwits.

FabricQuiltServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Nitwit villagers have no profession and usually cannot take part in village trading or spawn golems. BadNitwit swaps them for unemployed villagers during village generation, and villagers bred from them take a job like any other villager. Only the server needs the mod, and players can join without installing anything. Files are released under the MIT License for Fabric and Quilt across 1.21.1 – 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Nitwits replaced at generation

    Nitwit villagers are swapped for unemployed villagers as villages are generated in the world.

  2. Jobs from breeding

    Villagers bred from the replacements can take a profession, so they can trade and build golems.

  3. Server-side install

    Installing the mod on the server alone is enough, and clients need nothing extra.

What the author says

Nitwit Villagers are usually useless, they can't spawn golems or get a job and just used for villager breeding. Therefore, Nitwit should be remove, this mod will replace Nitwit villagers with unemployee villagers when villages generated or when it summoned.
