Come Here Villager!
by grovus
Come Here Villager! lets a player recruit a villager with an emerald, so the villager follows them from town to town.
What it does
Sneaking and right-clicking a villager while holding an emerald recruits it. A recruited villager then walks behind the player that recruited it, which makes moving villagers to a new base, a trading hall or another settlement possible without boats, minecarts or pushing the villager along a route. When the player reaches the destination, dismissing the villager lets it return to its normal life in the village.
The mod is a server-side mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0 as the latest file. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Its controls are simple and it adds no complicated menus, commands or configuration, which keeps the load on multiplayer servers light.
