Reputated Villagers
by ANDWIN_GAMER
Reputated Villagers gives each village a memory of how players treat its residents, so trades, rescues and attacks change how that village responds.
What it does
Reputated Villagers stores a reputation value for every village, separate from the others, and the value persists through world reloads, villager deaths and breeding. Newly bred villagers inherit the opinion their village holds of the player. The reputation scale runs from -1000 to +1000, and it feeds directly into villager prices, so a well-regarded village offers better deals while a hostile one may refuse to trade.
Actions the player takes are shared through villager gossip. A single crime can become known to an entire village, and acts of heroism such as defending against raids, protecting a village from hostile mobs or curing zombie villagers spread the same way and raise standing over time. Villages that are well regarded can protect the player, welcome them with discounts, and call iron golems to help, while a village harmed by the player can alert others nearby.
The mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The author has released only one file so far, 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2026-06-03, and the code is not open source, with All rights reserved.
Key features
Per-village reputation
Each village tracks its own relationship with the player, so help given in one settlement does not carry over to another.
Persistent memory
Standing in a village carries over through world reloads, villager deaths and breeding, since newborn villagers inherit the local opinion of the player.
Gossip between villagers
Crimes and heroic acts are passed through village gossip, so the whole community learns of a player's conduct.
Prices and village response
Reputation changes villager prices, can earn discounts or iron golem help, and can make a village refuse trade.
Zombie villager cures
Curing zombie villagers counts toward a village's opinion of the player, alongside trades, rescues and defence.
