Biome Tag Villagers
by TheEnderCore
Biome Tag Villagers changes how villagers pick their look, so their type follows biome tags a server owner sets instead of the fixed biome list in the game.
What it does
Villager types in vanilla are hard coded to biomes. This server-side mod replaces that with tag lists read from configuration, so a villager's variant is decided by which tags its biome carries. A biome can be given several tag lists, and the villager then picks randomly between the lists. The mod requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and it is open source under the MIT License, for 1.20 – 1.21.10 on Fabric and Quilt.
Key features
Tag-based villager types
Villager types are chosen from biome tags rather than the built-in biome assignments.
Configurable tag lists
Server owners set which tags map to which villager variant through configuration lists.
Random choice between lists
When a biome has several tag lists, the villager randomly selects one of them.
