MCA Expanded
With MCA Expanded installed, villagers gain a Presets button and an Export button in the villager editor, plus a few quality-of-life changes for MCA Reborn.
What it does
Players open the villager editor and use its Presets button to apply a saved villager model. Mod Menu also offers a page for editing villager presets without opening the editor. Each export writes the current model out as a regular Minecraft skin, which can then be used on any player or armor stand.
The mod is an addon for MCA Reborn and needs Fabric API, MCA Reborn and oωo (owo-lib) to run. It is published for Fabric only, across the 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 range, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest file. Either side can run it, and neither needs it: a server or a client can use the mod alone, or both can have it.
Development happens in a public repository with an open issue tracker. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Villager model presets
A Presets button in the villager editor opens a screen where saved villager models can be applied to a villager.
Exporting villager models
An Export button writes a villager model out as a skin file that matches the regular Minecraft skin format.
Disabling the destiny screen
A setting in the Mod Menu page turns off the screen that appears once a world is created, right after the character editor.
Totem of undying for villagers
A villager can be given a totem of undying, which it equips just before it would die.

Use cases
Reusing a villager look
A player who has built a villager design can save it as a preset and apply it to other villagers in the same world.
Using a villager as a skin
A model exported from the editor can be loaded as a standard skin for a player or an armor stand.
Who it’s for: Players who already use MCA Reborn and want to save, share or reuse villager appearances. Server owners who run MCA Reborn can add the mod, since it works on a server or a client.
How it compares
Pack Presets is client-side only and is published for 1.20.4 – 1.21.1, so it covers a different range from this mod. One-Up Totems is open source under The Unlicense and is published for Fabric and Forge on 1.20.1 only, while Craftable Totem is server-side only and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 with an MIT License.
