LVBWMGTO
by kuylar
With LVBWMGTO installed on a Fabric server for 1.20.1, villagers can pick up and trade food and certain items even when mobGriefing is turned off.
What it does
The mod changes villager behavior on the server so that villagers can breed and farm while the mobGriefing game rule is set to false. Players who want villagers to keep working in a protected world can leave griefing disabled and still have villagers collect and trade the items the mod allows. The author describes the mod as a response to server hosts asking for this behavior, and it is meant to be updated when a server moves to a new version.
It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join. The mod is published for Fabric alone, with a single release, 1.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-11-23. It is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open source and can be read in its public repository. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
Installation means placing the file in the mods folder of a Fabric 1.20.1 server. Because the mod only touches villager logic, it sits alongside protection and claim plugins without changing their rules. The author notes that the mod was made for a specific group of servers and is not a general gameplay overhaul, so its scope stays narrow.
Key features
Villager breeding without griefing
Villagers can breed even when mobGriefing is turned off, so the rule that protects blocks stays in effect.
Item pickup for villagers
Villagers can pick up the listed items on their own while mobGriefing is disabled.
Food trading and farming
Villagers can take food and farm while the game rule is off, which allows a farm to run in a protected world.
Optional food handling
Food handling for villagers can be enabled or left out, depending on the server's configuration.

What the author says
(Let villagers breed with mobGriefing turned off) Do you hate creeper holes but just can't play Minecraft without building a giant villager trading hall with some questionable ethics? Well, do I have the mod for you!
