Farmer's Delight Village Fix
by Tkain
Farmer's Delight Village Fix corrects how villages generate for players who share a seed across restarts, on Forge for 1.16.5.
What it does
Farmer's Delight, the required dependency, adds village structures on 1.16 versions, and its random number generator was not seeded. As a result the order of villages not yet generated could change between restarts, so two worlds with the same seed ended up with villages placed differently. This mod swaps that generator for a seeded one, which keeps village layouts stable from session to session. The fix covers the builds 1.16.3 – 1.16.5.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is built for Forge only and has a single file, 1.0.0 for 1.16.5, released on 2023-09-01. The code is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. The author notes that the bug does not appear in later Farmer's Delight releases, so the mod is not needed there.
Key features
Seeded village order
Village structures are listed with a shuffle that now uses a seeded generator, so the order matches between worlds with the same seed.
Vanilla structure list
The mod adds its villages to the vanilla structure list before the shuffle runs, keeping the vanilla function in use.
Same-seed consistency
Villages placed in one world reappear in the same spots after a restart, which keeps shared seeds reproducible.
Targeted correction
Only the generator used by Farmer's Delight is changed, leaving other structure generation untouched.

Who it’s for: Server owners and players on Forge 1.16.5 who use Farmer's Delight and want village placement to match between restarts with the same seed.
How it compares
Forgotten Delight is a Forge mod for 1.20.1, under All rights reserved, and runs on the client and server. Dumplings Delight is a Forge mod for 1.16.5, under the MIT License, and it also runs on the client and server. Neither of them addresses village generation, so this fix is a separate choice for that problem.
