BlackCat's Villager Update
BlackCat's Villager Update adds cursed interactions with villagers, such as holding them, stacking them and using them as material for tools.
What it does
Players can right-click a villager to pick it up as an item, then carry it around. Holdable villagers can be placed as a stacked villager block, and the mod includes golem animations alongside them. Tools can be crafted out of villager parts, and the author describes their efficiency as comparable to netherite because the heads are very hard.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. It is built for NeoForge and published for 1.21.8 alone, with 3.0.0 as the latest file dated 2026-01-30. The author notes that trading with villagers was fixed in this release, and that glitches are still being worked on, so the mod is still in development and bugs remain known.
Compatibility with most other villager mods is listed by the author, including mods that add professions and structures. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved, so the author keeps full rights to it.
