Settlement Names

by HabWasIchBin

Settlement Names gives each village in a world a generated fantasy name, shown when a player walks into the settlement.

FabricServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

Villages found while exploring are detected automatically, including the vanilla village variants, and each one receives a name built from its biome theme. A name is generated once and saved with the world, so a settlement keeps the same identity every time it is visited afterwards. The name appears on screen when a player enters the village, with a fade-in and fade-out animation that can be adjusted.

The addon extends the location display system of HelloBiome, which must be installed alongside it. It is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that runs on a lightweight server-side system and synchronizes the names to clients, so it works in multiplayer. Only the server needs it; players may join without installing anything, and they lose no function by skipping it. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Generated village names

    Each village receives a fantasy name drawn from its biome, so neighboring settlements differ in character.

  2. Automatic village detection

    Vanilla village variants are recognized as they are discovered, with no manual marking needed.

  3. Entry display

    A settlement's name is shown when a player enters it, with animations that can be customized.

  4. Permanent naming

    Names are created once and stored in the world, so a settlement's identity persists across sessions.

Questions

Does Settlement Names need HelloBiome?

Yes. HelloBiome is a required dependency, and Settlement Names extends its location display system.

Do players need to install Settlement Names?

The server requires it while the client is optional, so players may join without installing it.

Will names change after a village is visited again?

No. A name is generated once and saved with the world, so the same settlement keeps its name.
