Portable Villager

by squid233

Portable Villager lets players pick up villagers and carry them around, sneaking with an empty hand to grab one.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.11 – 26.3

What it does

Right-clicking a villager while sneaking with an empty hand picks it up, so the villager can be moved to another spot. The mod needs Fabric API, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player install it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across six release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Pick up villagers

    Villagers can be picked up and carried to a new location instead of staying where they spawned.

  2. Sneak-and-click control

    Pressing the shift key and right-clicking a villager with an empty hand starts the pickup.

  3. Container limits

    The author recommends storing fewer villager items in containers within one chunk, to avoid excessively large stores.
