LifeBound
LifeBound lets players build closer bonds with villagers than trading alone allows, and its effects reach the villagers' families and the players' loved ones.
What it does
Villagers who form a bond with a player begin to give food each morning, and the quality of that food depends on how high their carepoints are, with better meals at higher levels and plainer food at lower ones. A bonded villager also cuddles up to the player, emits heart particles, and stays near the player's home, returning there safely after wandering off. The mod runs on Forge, requires both the client and server, and is published for 1.20.1 only. The code is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Morning food gifts
Bonded villagers hand the player a food item each morning, with meal quality tied to carepoints.
Affection behavior
