Bribery

by murder_spagurder

Bribery lets players pay villagers, iron golems and other entities with currency to change how they react, and each attempt can backfire.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 1.21.10

What it does

A player attempts a bribe by sneaking and left-clicking a target while holding a stack of currency. The target may reject the bribe, which carries a chance of severe negative gossip and possible aggression toward the player when the entity was neutral. An entity that accepts has a chance of becoming an extortionist instead of simply looking the other way.

Every so often an extortionist demands money from the player under the threat of spreading negative gossip and stirring up aggression, and the demand lapses if enough is paid before the deadline. Other entities witness bribes as they happen: an unbribed villager spreads negative gossip, and unbribed golems can turn angry at the player. The mod is server-side only and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, on 1.20 – 1.21.10. It requires Fabric API on Fabric and bundles MidnightLib. Sinytra Connector and Forgified Fabric API are optional dependencies, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Currency bribes

    Players offer iron, gold, emeralds, diamonds or netherite ingots to villagers, golems and other entities.

  2. Chance of rejection

    A bribe can be refused, and a refusal can bring negative gossip and aggression from the target.

  3. Extortion events

    Accepting entities may become extortionists who demand more payment within a set time limit.

  4. Witnessed bribes

    Other villagers and golems observe bribes, so negative gossip and anger can spread through the area.

How it compares

Full comparison

Golem Spawn Animation is a client and server mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge covering 1.20.1 – 26.3, under All rights reserved and not open source, so it changes golem spawning visuals rather than village reactions. No Negative Villager Gossips is server-side only, Fabric only, covers 1.19 – 1.20.4 and is also not open source, so it removes gossip rather than creating it. Golem Spawn Fix is client and server on the same loaders and range as Golem Spawn Animation, under All rights reserved and not open source.

This was primarily designed because I found the concept of bribery existing in Minecraft was humorous, but also because I could see this having value in RP-style games. Players can attempt to bribe entities (currently villagers and…
