Hero of the Village Plus - Better Villagers and Extra Trades
by marcsanz-dev
Hero of the Village Plus, a mod by marcsanz-dev, reworks the reward a player receives after completing a raid, with better trades and gear from villagers.
What it does
The mod overhauls the Hero of the Village effect so that completing a raid gives a more meaningful, progression-based reward. Players who gain the effect can reach exclusive villager trades, which appear with a distinct green background in the trading screen, once a villager reaches Master Level 5. Each level of the effect adds its own set of trades, so defending villages becomes a steady source of loot in later game stages.
The gear sold by the Master trades is pre-enchanted from fixed internal probabilities. Armorers offer diamond armor whose pieces carry top-tier enchantments, weaponsmiths sell a fully enchanted diamond sword, fishermen a rod with Unbreaking III and Mending, and shepherds shears with Efficiency V. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge under the MIT License, which is not open source. Cloth Config API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for its settings screen.
Key features
Raid reward overhaul
Completing a raid grants a stronger Hero of the Village effect, with rewards that scale with each effect level.
Exclusive Master trades
Villagers at Master Level 5 offer trades that are not available elsewhere, marked by a green background in the trade UI.
Pre-enchanted diamond gear
Armorers, weaponsmiths, fishermen and shepherds sell gear with enchantments rolled from fixed probabilities.
Balanced loot
Enchantment odds are set so the gear stays rewarding without making the trades feel arbitrary.
