ForgetMeStick
by adil192
A player who gets a villager's attention through a stick can have that villager's bad memory of them wiped by ForgetMeStick, a Fabric equipment mod for 1.20 – 1.21.5.
What it does
ForgetMeStick adds a Forget-Me Stick, a crafted item that makes a villager or an iron golem forget a player's past reputation when the player strikes it with the stick. A player who has angered villagers or been attacked by golems can use it to reset those mobs to neutral. Using the stick is not free: it costs the player health and can apply temporary negative effects, and the stick itself has a durability of 8, so it breaks after eight uses.
The mod requires Fabric API and runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 13 release versions, with 1.0.4 for 1.21.5 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Forget-Me Stick
A crafted stick that resets a villager's or iron golem's opinion of the player when it strikes the mob.
Crafting recipe
The stick is made from two ender pearls and bone in a vertical shape, so it is reachable early in survival.
Durability limit
The stick breaks after 8 uses, which allows about 8 villagers or 2 iron golems to be reset before it is gone.
Costs to the player
Each use takes a share of the player's health, and striking a mob may briefly inflict nausea, slowness or regeneration.

Use cases
Recovering from a bad village visit
A player who was attacked or cheated by villagers can reset their memory so trading becomes possible again.
Calming iron golems
Golems that keep attacking a player after an early mistake can be set back to neutral with the stick.
Who it’s for: Players of survival worlds who lose access to villages after angering their villagers or iron golems, and who want a limited way to start over with those mobs.
How it compares
Will's Lively Villages is a client and server mod under the MIT License, published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, and it changes village life rather than reputation. Golem Forget Me Not is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.9 – 26.3, so it only needs to run on the server. Realistic Health is not open source, is server required with client optional, and covers 1.19 – 1.21.10.
