Betterworld(village)
by xxxx_62669
Betterworld, a Forge town simulation for Minecraft 1.20.1, has residents who live, work and build a small society around the player's town.
What it does
Betterworld adds residents that follow a daily routine: they work during the day, return home to sleep and wander around when free. Their state changes with age, so children, young adults and adults each behave differently. Residents locate their homes and workplaces, keeping a record of each binding, and they also buy and carry food, track their inventory and take care of their money.
The mod does not add a few profession blocks. It connects residents, families, finances, professions, assets and buildings, and lets the town expand over time. Each resident has a personality that shapes individual differences, and pathfinding is improved to reduce collisions with houses, doors and walls. The mod is open source under no license named; it is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Betterworld runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Only Forge is supported, and the latest file is 1.2.6-forge1.20.1 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-10-15. The first file was published on 2026-05-03 and the mod was last updated on 2026-10-15.
