TESTIFICATE (TBS) HORROR
by testeras
Testificate changes how villagers behave in a Forge world, giving them custom nametags, face overlays and random encounters that nearby players see the same way.
What it does
Temporary custom face overlays and nose effects can be applied to villagers. These visual changes are synchronized through the mod's built-in networking, so every player in a multiplayer world sees the same changes on the same villagers. Random villager events let nearby players meet villagers who react in different ways while they explore.
Nametags can be applied to villagers and to other configured entities, including modded ones. Most of the behavior is configurable, and the face overlays and events can be toggled off. The mod is inspired by the nametag concept of Broken Script, where villagers spawn with nametags, and it is built for Forge only.
Testificate runs on the server side, and the 1.2.5 build for 1.21.4 is the latest Forge file. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 1.21.4, with twelve release versions and files for 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3 and 1.21.4. Its code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Villager face overlays
Villagers can wear temporary custom face overlays and nose effects that change how they look during an encounter.
Synchronized multiplayer visuals
The mod's networking sends each change to nearby players, so the same overlay appears for everyone on the server.
Random villager events
Villagers trigger varied events when players come near, so each encounter while exploring can play out differently.
Custom nametags
Nametags can be applied to villagers and other configured entities, including modded ones, and can be edited in the config.
Configurable behavior
Most options can be set, and face overlays and events can be toggled, so server owners choose how strongly the mod changes villagers.

Use cases
Creepy encounters on a server
A server owner can enable events and face overlays so villagers feel unsettling to players exploring the map.
Nametag-based villager identity
Villagers with nametags can be given names and stories, which changes how players recognize them across a world.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want villagers to feel unpredictable, and players on Forge servers that run the mod. Players who join a server running Testificate need the mod installed on their client as well.
Questions
