ReNeighborly

by Cherry_Dev

ReNeighborly is a NeoForge social mod that brings Animal Crossing style villagers, called neighbors, into a Minecraft world.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved26.1.2

What it does

Neighbors are found wild in the world, and each one comes from its own biome. Players can talk with a neighbor once per day to get to know them, and the dialog runs to more than 350 lines. Neighbors grow more willing to open up as the relationship deepens, which brings more unique dialogs and gifts, and a neighbor may ask for items to fulfil their needs.

Players build homes for their neighbors, who can fetch items and bring back exotic vacation souvenirs. A new home ranking system lets neighbors judge each home build, so layout and decoration matter to them. The cast is the original Neighborly cast, redrawn in a vibrant style with handmade animations.

The mod is an official reboot of the original Neighborly mod, which gained attention for adding Animal Crossing like neighbors. It runs on NeoForge only, for game version 26.1.2 alone, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source, although source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked publicly. The latest file is 1.1.0 for 26.1.2, published 2026-08-15.
