MobCivics
by vomiter
MobCivics is a Forge library that supplies shared villager-related code, including renderer abstractions and a fear-state tracker, for other mods to build on.
What it does
Shared renderer classes for Zombie Villager-style entities let a mod skip writing the same drawing code again for every villager variant. It also includes a lightweight system that tracks villager fear and perceived threat states, exposing that state information without changing behavior. Models, textures and other visual assets are part of the package, but the mod adds no gameplay content of its own.
MobCivics is meant mainly to be pulled in as a dependency by other mods, not played on its own for new content. Its purpose is to centralize a few commonly reused villager-related structures so they are not duplicated across mods that need them.
Files cover Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Forge, with 0.7.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, dated 2026-03-12. The code is released under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must run it.
Key features
Renderer abstractions
Reusable renderers for Zombie Villager-based entities reduce duplicated renderer code across villager variants.
Fear state tracking
A lightweight tracker records villager fear and perceived threat states and exposes that information to other code.
Shared villager structures
A small set of commonly reused villager-related structures is centralized in one place to avoid duplication.
Visual assets
Models and textures for the villager-related entities are included as part of the package.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Building a villager mod
A developer whose mod needs villager renderers or fear tracking can depend on MobCivics instead of writing those pieces again.
Who it’s for: Mod developers building villager-related content on Forge who want shared renderer and state code. Players looking for new mobs or gameplay changes will not find them here, since the mod adds none.
