Rot Villager
by AnooshMods
At night, peaceful villagers in Rot Villager's world can turn into Rot Villagers, hostile mobs that are hard to survive unprepared.
What it does
Rot Villager adds a hostile villager variant that appears after nightfall when peaceful villagers transform. Players who stay in a village at night should seal their doors, since the mod is built around locked doors and the threat they pose. Defeating a Rot Villager drops its Hand Bone, a 10-damage weapon that is among the strongest early-game items the mod offers.
The mods requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside Rot Villager for its models and animations. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the code is released under the MIT License without being open source.
