Lobotomy Inc.
by Tobzi
Lobotomy Inc. lets server owners reduce villager AI work by filtering villagers through their nametags, so that only matching names are processed.
What it does
Lobotomy Inc. is a server-side optimization that treats villagers differently based on their names. A villager whose name matches a configured pattern is lobotomized, meaning its AI is reduced, and the default name Lobotomized is used when a nametag is applied. Names and symbol patterns are written into the config file, and a nametag is consumed when used to name a villager.
Matching supports four modes: contains, prefix, suffix and surround, each tied to a specific symbol set in the config. Players do not need the mod, since it only changes how the server handles villagers. Optional support for Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) lets owners edit the settings in game, with YACL support limited to 26.1 and later.
Lobotomy Inc. is published for Fabric only, across 17 release versions 1.21 – 26.3, and the latest file is 1.4.1+26.2 for 26.2. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Nametag-based optimization
Villagers named with a configured nametag are optimized, reducing the processing they cost the server.
Four matching modes
Names can be matched when they contain, start with, end with or are surrounded by a chosen symbol.
Editable name list
The names and symbols are kept in a config file that owners can change.
In-game configuration

Who it’s for: Server owners who run villager-heavy worlds and want a name-based way to reduce villager processing. Players need nothing installed.
How it compares
Villager Optimizer is server-side only on Fabric for 26.1 – 26.2 and is not open source. Toggle Nametags is client-side only, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and published for 1.18 – 26.3, so it changes display rather than server work. No Villager Nameplate is client-side only for 26.2 under CC0 1.0 Universal, and it is not open source.
