Nitwitification
by lil_fox
Nitwitification changes how villagers are born on Fabric servers, so some newborn villagers come out as nitwits, marked with a green cape.
What it does
A newborn villager has a chance to be a nitwit instead of a regular villager. The chance is set by the mod, and the nitwit appears with a green cape so players can tell the two apart at a glance. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything.
The mod is written for Fabric and published only for Minecraft 1.19.4, with one release, 1.0, dated 2023-05-01. Nitwitification is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. It is categorized under Game mechanics, a group of 2310 mods that have Fabric files for 1.19.4.
Key features
Nitwit births
Villagers born in a village have a chance to grow up as nitwits instead of standard villagers.
Green capes
Nitwit babies display a green cape, which makes them distinguishable from ordinary villagers.
Server-only installation
Because the environment is server-side only, only the server runs the mod and players connect with an unmodified client.
