Protect Villagers
by Kim-Lan
Protect Villagers stops named villagers and named wandering traders from taking damage, so a name tag keeps them safe.
What it does
Naming a villager or wandering trader with a name tag makes that entity invincible on a server. The protection also stops named villagers from converting into zombie villagers or witches, and keeps them safe from raids, mobs and lightning. Removing the name or undoing the naming takes the protection away again, so the change can be reversed. The mod is server-side only and needs Fabric API; files exist for 26.1 – 26.2.
Key features
Invincible named villagers
A villager or wandering trader given a name with a name tag cannot be killed by mobs, raids or lightning.
No conversion
Named villagers are kept from turning into zombie villagers or witches.
Reversible protection
Undoing the naming returns the entity to normal, so the protection can be removed at any time.
