Convo
by Trep
Convo lets players hold conversations with Villagers and Pillagers, and a conversation can end in peace or in combat.
What it does
Convo adds a conversation system between villagers and pillagers. Conversations begin in the world, when a spawn event brings the two groups together, and each choice in the dialogue can gain allies or make enemies. The zoom function brings the camera closer during a talk, so the exchange reads as a scene rather than a menu.
The mod suits survival worlds that want more NPC presence, and it can be used as an immersion layer on an existing world. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1; the latest file is 0.1.4, dated 2024-08-21, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Dynamic conversations
Villagers and pillagers talk in the world, and the dialogue changes with the situation and the options picked.
Pillager events
Pillager encounters are tied to the conversation system, so a raid can start with words instead of an attack.
Conversation zoom
A zoom function moves the camera closer during a conversation, keeping the exchange in view.
Smoother screen transitions
Moving between the world and the conversation screen is smoother, so talks do not break the flow of play.

Use cases
Peaceful village play
Players can settle a pillager encounter through dialogue, keeping a village intact instead of fighting.
Story-driven survival
Unexpected encounters with pillagers add a layer of dialogue decisions to a survival world.
Who it’s for: Players who want NPC-driven encounters in a Fabric world on Minecraft 1.20.1, and server owners who want conversations on a shared world. Both the server and every player need the mod.
