What it does

Villagers in the world are swapped for humanoid versions that carry randomized names and skins, so each one looks distinct from the next. The mod draws on the idea of Minecraft Comes Alive (MCA) but is a separate project. Its content can be extended with datapacks, which lets server owners adjust what the humanoids do.

Conversation is part of the design: humanoid villagers can talk with players. Ethan Outt's raycast assistance system helps the humanoids locate and face the player, and merak48763 helped with the Mannequins portion of the work. Language files exist for English (en) and Spanish (es).

Fabric API is required on every loader. The server must run the mod, and clients can join without it. Humanoid Villagers is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21.9 – 26.2. Essential Mod is listed as incompatible.

  3. Datapack extension
