Just AI Villagers
Just AI Villagers gives villagers in Minecraft conversations that are generated by a local Ollama model, so nearby villagers can answer the player.
What it does
Villagers keep their own personalities and speech styles, and react to events in the world. A villager also notices whether the player is indoors or outside and adjusts its topics. Villagers cry out when hit, scream about zombies and flee, and sometimes mutter their own thoughts aloud.
The player opens a dialog with the V key, which can be changed in the controls settings. Looking at a villager starts a direct talk, while looking at nothing opens a group chat with the villagers nearby. A villager that is asleep reacts with irritation when woken and asks to be let alone. Ollama has to keep running in the background while the game is played. The mod detects the Minecraft language and switches to English, with American names and dialogues, or to Russian, with Russian names and dialogues.
Just AI Villagers is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 and requires Fabric API. It is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
